You Tell Me
Navigating Love's Turbulent Seas: You Tell Me by Lewis McLaughlin
Lyrics
Do you remember
Reflecting on a past event or time
When we sang together?
Recalling a shared experience of singing
I was a boat, I was lost in your sea
Describing oneself as adrift and lost in the partner's emotions
We would go walking
Recalling moments of walking together
Could feel the boat docking
Sensing a connection or reunion
But my only care was for you loving me
Expressing a singular focus on the partner's love
Loving me, you loving me
Emphasizing the importance of being loved
My only care was for you loving me
Reiterating the exclusive concern for the partner's love
Never quite settled
Not fully settled or content
The keys to the metal
Reference to uncertainty or unresolved issues
Matter of fact we were barely home
Acknowledging a lack of permanence in the home
He smokes what you give him
Describing someone indulging in substances
Hopes heu0027s forgiven
Hope for forgiveness despite actions
Youu0027ll let him off ‘cause you love him so
Expecting leniency due to love
Love him so, oh love him so
Reiterating the forgiving nature of love
Youu0027ll let him off ‘cause you love him so
Continuing the theme of leniency in love
You tell me what you want...
Prompting the partner to express desires or needs
I hear you crying
Noticing and acknowledging the partner's emotional state
Crying for someone
Recognizing the partner's emotional pain
That doesnu0027t mean anything to me
Indicating a lack of personal connection to the mentioned person
A beauty in sadness
Finding beauty in sadness, suggesting a positive perspective
Youu0027re not so bad, miss
Assuring the partner of their goodness
Clear your mind, itu0027ll set you free
Encouraging the partner to clear their mind for freedom
Set you free, oh set you free
Repeating the idea of setting the partner free through mental clarity
Clear your mind, my love, itu0027ll set you free
Reiterating the concept of clearing the mind for freedom
Clear your mind, my love, itu0027ll set you free
Emphasizing the idea of mental clarity leading to liberation
