I Got You
Embracing Love's Resilience: I Got You by Shelby Lynne
Lyrics
Oh you'll come back to me
Anticipating a return, expressing confidence in the person coming back.
And I'll sing you a song
Promise to create and share a song, possibly as a gesture of affection.
Baby, I got you
Reassurance to the baby that the singer has them, a declaration of support.
Changes you've been going through
Acknowledging changes in the person's life.
Don't let em' get the best of you
Encouragement to not be overwhelmed by life's challenges.
I know what you're running from
Claiming understanding of what the person is avoiding or escaping.
Never seen this kind of love
Expressing a unique and intense form of love.
Nevertheless
Despite everything mentioned, implying steadfast support.
When you go away
Acceptance of the person going away.
I'll be here
Commitment to be there when the person returns.
I'll wait
Willingness to wait for the person's return.
So when your thoughts take over you
Recognition of inner struggles, offering support.
My eyes are yours to see through
Offering the singer's perspective and understanding to help.
Baby I got you
Reassurance that the singer has the person despite challenges.
Baby I got you
Reiteration of the singer's commitment and support.
Oh you'll come back to me
Repeating the expectation of the person's return.
I'll sing you a song
Reaffirming the promise to sing for the returning person.
Baby, I got you
Reassurance that the singer still has the person upon their return.
I won't let you hit the ground
Pledge not to let the person fall or suffer.
Heavy when you feel alone
Acknowledging the weight the person carries when feeling lonely.
Windows open
Describing an open and welcoming environment.
Arms unfold
Symbolic gesture of protection and support.
I'll take whatever you don't need
Willingness to take on the person's burdens and keep them private.
And keep it between us
Keeping shared experiences and burdens confidential.
Come live with me
Invitation to live together, suggesting closeness.
And disappear
Offering a place to escape and be together.
So when your thoughts take over you
Repeating the offer of understanding and support in times of inner turmoil.
My eyes are yours to see through
Reiterating the availability of the singer's perspective for guidance.
Baby I got you
Reassurance of continued support despite challenges.
Baby I got you
Final confirmation of the singer's commitment and support.
