Let It Be Me
Embracing Love's Call: 'Let It Be Me' by Social Distortion
Lyrics
I've been in love, but now I'm waiting
The speaker has experienced love previously but is presently waiting.
Don't ever want to worry about a thing
Expresses a desire not to be burdened by worries.
I sit at home and I wonder
The speaker spends time at home contemplating.
Will I rise or will I go under
Contemplating whether they will overcome challenges or succumb to them.
Let it be me, if you're lonely
Offering to be there for someone who feels lonely.
Let it be me, your one and only
Willingness to be the sole person for someone.
Let it be me, to satisfy you
Expressing a desire to fulfill the other person's needs.
Let it be me, if you're feelin' blue
Offering support to someone feeling sad or depressed.
I've seen you around but you don't know me
The speaker has seen the person but remains unknown to them.
I've watched your life but can't always see
Observing the person's life but unable to fully comprehend it.
I'll try and I'll try girl to love you
Commitment to making efforts to love the person.
And when we die you will have loved too
Implying that their love will endure beyond mortality.
Let it be me, if you're lonely
Reiteration of willingness to be there for someone in loneliness.
Let it be me, your one and only
Stating readiness to be the only one for the person.
Let it be me, to satisfy you
Expressing a desire to bring satisfaction to the person.
Let it be me, if you're feelin' blue
Offering support to the person when feeling down.
You know your friends talk bad about me
Acknowledging negative opinions from the person's social circle about the speaker.
Your folks say it's not supposed to be
Recognition of disapproval from the person's family.
You know girl your life is going by fast
Realization that the person's life is passing quickly.
Try to make it last
Encouragement to try and make their life last or endure.
Let it be me, if you're lonely
Reaffirming the willingness to support someone in loneliness.
Let it be me, your one and only
Expressing readiness to be the singular source of companionship.
Let it be me, to satisfy you
Desire to satisfy the person's needs or desires.
Let it be me, if you're feelin' blue
Offering support when the person is feeling sad.
