Be with You
Embracing Love's Light: Natalie Imbruglia's 'Be with You' Meaning
Lyrics
Don't you see the light has changed
There has been a noticeable change in the atmosphere or circumstances.
And nothing looks the same?
Things appear different or unfamiliar.
Just shadows in the ground
Only vague or uncertain indications are present.
And if you listen hard enough you'll hear
If one pays close attention, they will discern something important.
That I don't wanna dream
The desire to avoid imagining or hoping for things.
If anything will change
Any potential alteration seems undesirable.
And all I know is I don't wanna live
The speaker is sure that they don't wish to exist if they aren't with the person they desire.
If I don't wanna be with you
Life holds no appeal without being with the person in question.
Come in here I'll keep you safe
Inviting someone into a place where they will be protected or safe.
There's too much going on
There's too much chaos or complexity in the surroundings.
Underneath the stars
Beneath the night sky.
And if I hold you close enough you'll feel
Through physical proximity, one can experience something important or emotional.
I don't wanna dream
Resisting the urge to envision or hope for things.
If anything will change
Any potential change is unwelcome.
And all I know is I don't wanna live
The speaker is certain they don't want to exist if they're not with the desired person.
If I don't wanna be with you
Life lacks appeal without being with the person referred to.
I don't wanna hurt you
Not intending to cause pain to the person addressed.
I don't wanna smile
Not wanting to display happiness or joy.
If you don't know that I don't wanna live
The speaker emphasizes that life seems meaningless without the desired person.
If I don't wanna be with you
Life loses meaning without being with the person in question.
I just wanna be with you
An expressed longing to be in the company of the desired person.
Take it all and take our time
Wishing to experience everything and take their time while being with the desired person.
I want to see the world with you
Desire to explore the world in the company of the desired person.
I just want you by my side if you don't mind
Requesting the desired person's presence without imposing.
I don't wanna dream
Resisting the inclination to dream or hope for things.
If anything will change
Undesirability of any potential alteration or change.
And all I know is I don't wanna live
The speaker is convinced they don't want to exist without the desired person.
If I don't wanna be with you
Life seems meaningless if not with the person referred to.
