Lyrics
Here I am
Expressing presence or arrival.
I've come calling on you again
Returning or revisiting someone.
I'm not here for the love of God
Not seeking divine love.
No, I'm here for yours tonight
Expressing a desire for the listener's love tonight.
I'll do all that I can
Commitment to do everything possible.
Though I'm not much of a man
Acknowledging personal flaws and limitations.
I've had my fingers burnt
Past experiences of getting hurt.
I've had scars I've earned
Physical and emotional scars earned.
And lessons learned from love
Learning from experiences of love.
And I'm still going strong at going wrong
Persisting despite a history of mistakes.
Don't matter if you leave or if you stay
Indifference to the listener's decision to stay or leave.
I'm gonna love ya either way
Commitment to love regardless of the listener's choice.
Let's get this straight
Clarifying the speaker's patience.
I've got more time to wait
Emphasizing a willingness to wait.
Yeah, I know you strayed
Acknowledging past deviations.
When you could have stayed
Suggesting the listener's choice to leave when they could have stayed.
In your own bed instead
Highlighting the choice made to be elsewhere.
No, it just wouldn't seem right
Expressing discomfort with involving undesirable individuals.
Dragging no-goes into the light
Avoiding exposing unsuccessful situations.
I didn't come for the love of God
Reiterating the lack of interest in divine love.
No, I've come for yours tonight
Reaffirming the desire for the listener's love tonight.
I'm still going strong at going wrong
Persisting in the face of continued mistakes.
It don't matter if you leave or if you stay
Reiterating indifference to the listener's decision.
I'm gonna love ya either way
Committing to love regardless of the listener's choice.
Didn't come for the love of God
Repeating the lack of interest in divine love.
No, I'm here for yours tonight
Emphasizing the desire for the listener's love tonight.
