Save Me
Rescue Me: A Tale of Love's Redemption
Lyrics
It took time, I wanted
Expressing the time and desire invested
Nothing to do with you
Emphasizing the lack of connection
Til you came back and
Highlighting a significant return
Smiled at me like you used to do
Recalling a familiar and affectionate gesture
there was hunger in your eyes
Noticing intensity or passion in the partner's gaze
And I was ready for a change
Expressing readiness for a change in the relationship
You told me you wanted —-to give me your love
Partner expressing a desire to give love
I told you I wanted your everything
Speaker expressing a desire for complete commitment
Save me, from the heartbreak please
Plea for protection from heartbreak
If it’s meant to be tonight
Questioning the fate of the relationship
whoa oh oh
Emotional exclamation
Everybody needs, Someone they can hold, darling
Universal need for companionship
Would you lead me to the light?
Asking for guidance or support
Time was running fast
Noting the passage of time
And I was holding on too slow
Realization of holding on too slowly
When you came in that door, I
A sense of anticipation
I had a feeling where this would go
Expectation of the relationship's direction
You said- years ago you told me
Recalling a past promise or assurance
That I’d be everything
Confirmation of being everything
And I’m not letting go but you’ve got to come home
Asserting commitment while requesting a return
And you’ve got to include me in all your dreams
Desire for inclusion in partner's dreams
Save me, from the heartbreak please
Repetition of plea for protection from heartbreak
If it’s meant to be tonight
Reiterating uncertainty about the relationship's fate
— whoa oh oh
Emotional exclamation, continued
Everybody needs, Someone they can hold, darling
Reiteration of the universal need for companionship
Would you lead me to the light?
Seeking guidance or support, continued
Save me, from the heartbreak please
Final plea for protection from heartbreak
If it’s meant to be tonight
Final questioning of the relationship's fate
— whoa oh oh
Emotional exclamation, concluding
Everybody needs, Someone they can hold, darling
Final expression of the universal need for companionship
Would you lead me to the light?
Final request for guidance or support
Would you lead me to the light?
Repetition of the request for guidance or support
