Lyrics
I don't wanna be adored
The speaker doesn't desire to be excessively admired.
Don't wanna be first in line
They don't seek to be prioritized ahead of others.
Or make myself heard
They aren't interested in forcefully asserting themselves.
I'd like to bring a little light
Expressing a wish to bring positivity or brightness into someone's life.
To shine a light on your life
To illuminate and improve the other person's life.
To make you feel loved
To offer affection and make the person feel cherished.
No, don't wanna be the only one you know
Not aspiring to be the sole person known by the other.
I wanna be the place you call home
Desiring to be the comforting and secure place the other person considers home.
I lay myself down
Offering oneself sincerely for the benefit of the relationship.
To make it so, but you don't want to know
The other person doesn't seem interested in reciprocating.
I give much more
Providing more care and support than they request in return.
Than I'd ever ask for
Offering generosity without expecting much in return.
Will you see me in the end
Questioning if the other person will acknowledge the speaker at the end.
Or is it just a waste of time
Wondering if investing time in the relationship is futile.
Trying to be your friend
Struggling to become close friends with the other person.
Just shine, shine, shine
Encouraging the other person to radiate brightness.
Shine a little light
To illuminate and improve the speaker's life in return.
Shine a light on my life
Asking for warmth and emotional support from the other person.
Warm me up again
Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all
Doubting if the other person comprehends themselves fully.
You know that it could be so simple
Highlighting the simplicity of a potential positive relationship.
I lay myself down
Similar to line 11, offering oneself sincerely for the relationship.
To make it so, but you don't want to know
Reiteration that the other person seems uninterested in reciprocating.
You take much more
Taking more from the relationship than they give in return.
Than I'd ever ask for
Reflecting the generosity given without expecting much back.
Say a word or two to brighten my day
Requesting the other person to say something uplifting.
Do you think that you could see your way
Asking if they can see a way to improve the situation.
To lay yourself down
Similar to lines 11 and 27, offering oneself sincerely for the relationship.
And make it so, but you don't want to know
Reiteration of the other person's lack of interest in reciprocating.
You take much more
Continuing to take more from the relationship than offered in return.
Than I'd ever ask for
Reiterating the previous lines' sentiment about giving generously without expecting much in return.
