Valentine
Unveiling Love's Secrets: Jessie Ware and Sampha's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
So will you never be my lover or my valentine
The speaker questions if the person will never become their lover or valentine.
Never be a friend of mine, never see my better side
They doubt if this person will ever be a friend and witness their positive qualities.
Maybe you'd be terrified
The person might be scared or intimidated by something.
Of all the secrets you were wishing you won't ever find
There are secrets within the speaker that the person may fear discovering.
Is deep inside me
Something deeply personal exists within the speaker.
And I don't wanna hide me
The speaker doesn't want to conceal their true self.
'Cause I know about my love
The speaker reiterates their self-awareness of their love or feelings.
Because I know about my love
-'Cause I know about my love
-'Cause I know about my love
-Pick it fast like a flight far away from here (Fly away)
Desire to quickly escape or move away, akin to taking a fast flight.
Although I know I feel at home whenever you are near
Feeling comfortable or at home when the person is nearby.
Live my life you better cold cut to this (Just don't cut it, want you near)
Expressing the desire for the person to be involved in the speaker's life, not wanting distance.
I wish you'd just hold me open just to see your vision clear (I'm always near)
Wishing for emotional vulnerability to gain clarity about the person's intentions or feelings.
'Cause I know about my love
Repeated emphasis on the speaker's self-awareness of their love or emotions.
'Cause I know about my love
-'Cause I know about my love
-'Cause I know about my love
