I'll Be Here
Unpacking Emotions: I'll Be Here with You
Lyrics
So you're right back in that place
Returning to a familiar emotional state or situation
Got you mad and that's ok
Caused frustration or anger, but it's acceptable
You're not angry with me
Not upset with the speaker
I just happen to be
The speaker happens to be present
The closest thing
The most immediate support or comfort
I can hold that
Capable of providing support or comfort
Hope you know that
Hoping the listener understands the support available
I'll be here when you wanna unpack
Offering availability whenever the listener is ready to share burdens
Everything that weighs you down
Encouragement to disclose and unburden oneself
Don't be sorry
Assuring the listener need not apologize for sharing
Put it on me
Encouraging the listener to share their emotional weight
I'll be here with you in the story
Promising to be present alongside the listener in their experiences
I'll be here with you while you figure it out
Commitment to staying with the listener during their journey of understanding
With you while you're finding yourself
Being present while the listener discovers their true self
With you while you figure it
Supporting the listener while they navigate their understanding
Out of nowhere memory
Unexpected recollection from the past
Got you back at seventeen
Revisiting a situation or feeling from the age of seventeen
Couldn't carry it all
Unable to manage all emotions or burdens
So you buried it all
Choosing to suppress or hide those emotions
Now it's always there underneath on repeat
Continual presence of those buried emotions affecting the individual
I can hold that
Capable of supporting and understanding the listener
Hope you know that
Expressing hope that the listener comprehends the available support
I'll be here when you wanna unpack
Offering readiness to help whenever the listener chooses to share
Everything that weighs you down
Encouraging unloading of emotional burdens
Don't be sorry
Assuring the listener need not feel guilty for sharing
Put it on me
Inviting the listener to share their emotional load
I'll be here with you in the story
Commitment to being present and participating in the listener's experiences
I'll be here with you while you figure it out
Promising to accompany the listener in their journey of understanding
With you while you're finding yourself
Being there during the listener's self-discovery process
With you while you figure it out
Supporting the listener in figuring things out
With you while you're finding yourself
Remaining alongside the listener during their self-exploration
And if we never figure it out
Accepting uncertainty in finding resolution or understanding
And you're right back in that place
Returning to the same emotional state or situation
Got you sad and that's ok
Eliciting sadness, which is acknowledged and accepted
I'll be here if you need
Promising availability for the listener's needs
I'm just happy to be
Being content to be the nearest source of support
The closest thing
The closest available comfort or help
