Grow Old With You
Eternal Love Unveiled: Matthew Mayfield's 'Grow Old With You'
Lyrics
My hands at your sides
Expressing physical closeness and connection, possibly holding or touching each other.
Your hands wrapped closely around a hope for you and I
Describing the mutual embrace of a shared hope or aspiration between the speaker and the person addressed.
That’s one more reason why I can’t let you go
Stating that the mentioned hope is one of the reasons the speaker cannot let go of the addressed person.
My heart was broke before
Revealing a past emotional hurt experienced by the speaker.
Your heart came boldly through the door
Highlighting that the addressed person's love entered the speaker's life decisively.
In through the storm
Metaphorically describing the challenging times that the addressed person's love overcame.
And for that I’ll give you my life and love restored
Promising to give one's life and restored love as a gesture of gratitude for the addressed person's impact.
So hold me while we’re here, girl
Requesting physical closeness, asking to be held in the present moment.
Cos’ we may not be next year
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the future but emphasizing the importance of the current connection.
But how lovely to grow old with you
Expressing the desire for a lasting relationship by growing old together.
Grow old with you.
Reiteration of the desire to grow old together, emphasizing the commitment.
I’ve made up my mind
Declaring a firm decision, indicating a clear commitment to a specific course of action.
Ain’t no way I could ever deny
Acknowledging the undeniable nature of the addressed person's love.
That you love me and in time
Suggesting that over time, the speaker's physical presence may change, but the emotional connection remains.
I may be gone, but I’ll never leave your side
Committing to being emotionally present even if physically absent in the future.
So hold me while we’re here, girl
Reiterating the request for physical closeness in the present moment.
Cos’ we may not be next year
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the future but emphasizing the importance of the current connection (similar to line 10).
But how lovely to grow old with you
Reexpressing the desire for a lasting relationship by growing old together (similar to lines 11 and 13).
Grow old with you
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the commitment to growing old together.
Grow old with you
-Grow old with you
-Grow old with you
