Lover Lover
Longing for Love: Jimmy Barnes' Poetic Yearning
Lyrics
It's been a long time baby
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
I just got to thinking maybe
Reflecting on the possibility of something.
You could come and meet me half way
Inviting the other person to make an effort in the relationship.
We could get it on together
Suggesting a desire to connect intimately.
Cause I can't wait to see you baby
Impatience and excitement about seeing the person.
When I think of how you touch me
Recalling the sensation of the person's touch.
Lover, lover come to me
Expressing a longing for the lover to come.
Lover love my fantasy
Describing the lover as a source of fantasy.
Lover lover come to me
Repeating the desire for the lover to come.
Come to me and be with me tonight ohhhh
Requesting the lover's presence for the night.
Thought that I could live without you
Expressing a previous belief in independence from the lover.
And live without your heartbeat on me
Highlighting the absence of the lover's physical presence.
Or your breath beside my body
Mentioning the yearning for the lover's closeness.
But I miss you by my side
Admitting the miss and desire for the lover.
Lover lover set me free
Expressing a desire for liberation through love.
Lover love my fantasy
Reiterating the lover as a source of fantasy and liberation.
Lover lover set me free
Continuing the plea for freedom through love.
Come to me and be with me tonight, yeah
Repeating the invitation for the lover to be present at night.
So move it because time's a wasting
Emphasizing the urgency to act because time is passing.
It's killing me anticipating
Expressing the emotional challenge of waiting.
But don't you keep me here oh waiting
Requesting not to be kept waiting.
I'm hanging on my own again
Feeling isolated and hanging on alone.
Lover lover
Repeating the call for the lover to set the speaker free.
I said set me free
Emphasizing the plea for liberation through love.
Lover lover
Reiterating the lover's importance and role as a fantasy.
You're my fantasy
Affirming the lover's significance as a fantasy.
