Be Mine
Yearning for Love: A Heart's Plea
Lyrics
Can you be mine ooh
Expressing a desire for a romantic commitment
Yeah I should be all right ooh
Affirming that things will be okay
They say time heals everything
Referencing the common belief that time heals emotional wounds
So why am I still heart-breaking
Expressing ongoing emotional pain despite the passage of time
I want you to call to come over
Desiring a call and visit from the person of interest
Look it's been too long, I'm too sober
Noting a prolonged period of sobriety and a need for connection
You're on my mind, not getting over you, no
Struggling to move on from thoughts of the person
I can't feel my heartbeat, I
Expressing emotional numbness
Can you be mine, be mine on standby
Requesting commitment and availability
I should be aight, be aight, be all right
Reassuring oneself that everything will be okay
Sometimes it be like, be like this all night ooh
Acknowledging a persistent emotional struggle
And I just wanna hold ya
Expressing a desire to physically embrace the person
I know I shouldn't've told ya
Regretting sharing emotions with the person
That you're on my mind
Confirming that thoughts of the person persist
And when the world is getting locked out
Expressing a desire to showcase the person to the world
I just wanna show you off
Wanting to display affection publicly
Can you be mine ooh yeah
Reiterating the desire for the person to be theirs
I should be alright ooh
Reaffirming that things will be okay
Used to love so easily
Reflecting on past ease of love contrasted with current difficulty
You messed it up, now I can't feel
Attributing emotional numbness to past relationship issues
Anything come save me now
Pleading for salvation from emotional distress
I need someone like you baby
Expressing a need for someone like the person of interest
Ooh
Emotional exclamation
I can't feel my heartbeat, I
Reiterating emotional numbness
Can you be mine, be mine on standby
Requesting commitment and availability (repeated)
I should be aight, be aight, be all right
Reassuring oneself that everything will be okay (repeated)
Sometimes it be like, be like this all night ooh
Acknowledging a persistent emotional struggle (repeated)
And I just wanna hold ya
Expressing a desire to physically embrace the person (repeated)
I know I shouldn't've told ya
Regretting sharing emotions with the person (repeated)
That you're on my mind
Confirming that thoughts of the person persist (repeated)
And when the world is getting locked out
Expressing a desire to showcase the person to the world (repeated)
I just wanna show you off
Wanting to display affection publicly (repeated)
I can't feel my heartbeat, I
Reiterating emotional numbness (repeated)
Can you be mine, be mine on standby
Requesting commitment and availability (repeated)
I should be aight, be aight, be all right
Reassuring oneself that everything will be okay (repeated)
Sometimes it be like, be like this all night ooh
Acknowledging a persistent emotional struggle (repeated)
And I just wanna hold ya
Expressing a desire to physically embrace the person (repeated)
I know I shouldn't've told ya
Regretting sharing emotions with the person (repeated)
That you're on my mind
Confirming that thoughts of the person persist (repeated)
And when the world is getting locked out

I should be alright ooh
Reaffirming that things will be okay (repeated)
