Lyrics
When we were all alone
Feeling isolated when we were alone
Felt like we had no home
Sensed a lack of belonging or stability
I said just hold me close
Requesting intimacy by asking for a close embrace
And melt this heart of stone
Desiring emotional vulnerability to soften a hardened heart
All of the love that we've shown
Highlighting the affection demonstrated in the relationship
Lights up like acetone
Comparing the intensity of love to a highly flammable substance (acetone)
The fire in our hearts
Metaphorically referring to the passion within their hearts
It burns to keep us warm
Expressing the enduring warmth of their love
Love is in the air tonight
Noting the presence of love in the atmosphere currently
Head in the clouds but it's you who got me high
Despite feeling euphoric ("head in the clouds"), the partner is the reason for this elation
Love in the air tonight
Reiteration of the prevailing love in the air
Love in the air tonight
Emphasizing the repeated occurrence of love's presence
Like no ones around we can do what you like
Freedom to act without inhibition or fear of judgment due to feeling alone
Love in the air tonight
Reaffirming the prevailing love in the atmosphere
When all we have is memories
When possessions fade, memories hold significance
I'll still hold what you said to me
Commitment to remembering promises or meaningful words
If we keep love as the center piece
Suggesting that keeping love at the core enables resilience through challenges
Then we can make it through anything
Belief in overcoming any obstacle with love as a guiding force
I'll do what I can
Promising to make efforts for the partner
Always be your man
Committing to be a supportive and loving partner
We ain't got a plan
Admitting to a lack of a specific plan for the future
Just take me by the hand
Requesting guidance or assurance from the partner
Love is in the air tonight
Restating the presence of love in the current moment
Head in the clouds but it's you who got me high
Elaborating on the partner's role in bringing joy and ecstasy
Love in the air tonight
Reiteration of the prevailing love in the air
Love in the air tonight
Emphasizing the repeated occurrence of love's presence
Like no ones around we can do what you like
Freedom to act without inhibition or fear of judgment due to feeling alone
Love in the air tonight
Reaffirming the prevailing love in the atmosphere
Love is in the air tonight
Reiterating the presence of love in the current moment
Head in the clouds but it's you who got me high
Despite feeling euphoric ("head in the clouds"), the partner is the reason for this elation
Love in the air tonight
Reiteration of the prevailing love in the air
Love in the air tonight
Emphasizing the repeated occurrence of love's presence
Like no ones around we can do what you like
Freedom to act without inhibition or fear of judgment due to feeling alone
Love in the air tonight
Reaffirming the prevailing love in the atmosphere
