don't want u 2 go
Eternal Warmth: Libby Garnett's Plea to Stay
Lyrics
I don't want you to go
I strongly desire for you not to leave.
I don't just mean today
My wish is not limited to today; it extends beyond the current moment.
I don't mean please don't go home
I'm not asking you not to go home, but I never want you to be distant.
See I never want you to go away
I want you to remain a part of my life indefinitely.
I don't want you to go
Reiteration of the desire for you not to leave.
Anywhere but with me
I prefer you to be anywhere as long as it's with me.
I want you to hold my life in your hands
I wish for you to have a significant role in my life.
For all of eternity
Desire for a lasting connection with you throughout eternity.
And maybe that's dumb
Acknowledging that the desire may seem foolish.
And maybe that's childish
Recognizing that such a desire might be considered childish.
That I just want you to hold me in your arms
Expressing the simple desire to be held in your arms more frequently.
A little bit more
Wanting a bit more closeness in the relationship.
But it's warm when you're with me
Feeling warmth and comfort when in your presence.
And the whole world is
Suggesting that the entire world feels cold without you.
So, so, so, so cold
Emphasizing the perception of the world as exceptionally cold.
Maybe that's not true
Questioning the accuracy of the perception of the world being cold.
But you, baby you,
Reaffirming the importance of the person in making the world warm.
I don't want you to go
Reiteration of the desire for you not to leave.
I don't just mean home for the night
Clarifying that the desire extends beyond a temporary absence.
I don't mean don't go to work or the store
Not wanting you to be away for work or daily chores.
I mean please just never leave my life
Expressing a plea for you to never leave the speaker's life.
Cause it's so warm when you're here
Highlighting the warmth experienced in your presence.
And the whole world is cold
Reiterating the contrast between the warmth with you and the cold world.
And the summer is ending
Noting the end of summer and the impending need for warmth.
And soon I will need you
Acknowledging the future reliance on the person to provide warmth.
To help keep me warm
Expressing the need for emotional warmth and support.
So say you won't go
Requesting a commitment not to leave.
And you know I won't either
Mutual agreement not to part ways.
Cause this love is the drug and the cure
Describing love as both the problem and the solution, inducing a fever.
And the sickness giving me a fever
Highlighting the intense impact of love on the speaker.
Why would I go anywhere else
Rhetorical question emphasizing the exclusivity of the desired company.
Ever again?
Expressing a commitment to never seek companionship elsewhere.
