Pull Me Out Of The Water
Rescue My Heart: Jeff Bates' Plea for Love and Assurance
Lyrics
Girl, don't leave me standin here goin out of my mind
Expressing distress at the prospect of being left alone and feeling mentally overwhelmed.
I just need some reassurance that your still mine
Seeking reassurance from the partner, emphasizing the need for confirmation of the relationship.
You might think I'm crazy, I'll admit that it's true
Acknowledging a perception of personal eccentricity and admitting to the partner's view of it.
But dont have me put away, cause I"m crazy about you
Asking not to be dismissed despite perceived eccentricity, expressing strong feelings for the partner.

Pull me out of the water cause I'm sinkin
Requesting help and support as the speaker feels emotionally overwhelmed ("sinkin").
Open my eyes so I can see
Desiring clarity and understanding, asking to have the truth revealed.
Take me by the hand cause I'm fallin
Asking the partner to prevent the speaker from falling further emotionally.
Open the door and set me free
Seeking freedom, both metaphorically and perhaps literally, from emotional distress.
Pull me out of the water cause I'm sinkin
Reiterating the need for assistance in overcoming emotional struggles.
Tell me everthing's gonna be alright
Requesting reassurance and comfort, seeking affirmation that everything will be okay.
Lay me down and make sweet love to me girl
Expressing a desire for intimacy and emotional connection through physical closeness.
I just need to know you love me tonight
Stressing the importance of feeling loved and secure in the present moment.
Well, I saw you lookin close at him at the party last night
Observing the partner's interactions with someone else, expressing concern and curiosity.
And I wondered what it was about him that caught your eye
Reflecting on the attraction the partner may have for someone else, questioning the reason.
During my imagination I saw my life without you
Imagining a life without the partner and feeling intense fear at the possibility of losing them.
And it scared me half to death just the thought of losing you
Expressing the emotional impact and dread associated with the thought of separation.

Lay me down and make sweet love to me girl
Expressing the desire for intimate connection and reassurance through physical closeness.
I just need to know you love me tonight
Emphasizing the importance of feeling loved and secure in the present moment, seeking confirmation.
