Lyrics
So can you hold me
Requesting physical embrace and comfort
In your arms
Asking to be held within someone's arms
I need you badly
Expressing a strong need for the person
Keep me safe forever more
Desire for ongoing protection and safety
This love is all I'll ever need
Stating that love is the only essential requirement
So don't go far from me
Urging the person not to distance themselves
When you told me
Recalling a promise made by the person
You'd walk beside me
Assurance of companionship for life
For the rest of my days
Holding onto the commitment made
I held on
Clung emotionally to every pledge
To every word you said
Valuing and remembering every spoken word
Like a song in my head
Comparing the significance to a repetitive song
Your melody is on repeat
The person's influence is constant and impactful
So love me right and
Request for love to be shown correctly
Hold me tight and
Asking for a firm and secure embrace
Keep me safe in your arms
Desire to feel protected in the person's arms
I need this
Expressing a strong need for this affection
This love is good and
Affirming the quality of the love
Love this is true and
Reinforcing the authenticity of the love
As long as I got you
Emphasizing reliance on the person's presence
As long as I got you
Repetition emphasizes dependency on the person
As long as I got you
-So can you hold me
Repetition of the earlier verses, reaffirming the emotions and needs expressed
In your arms
-I need you badly
-Keep me safe forever more
-This love is all I'll ever need
-So don't go far from me
-When you told me
-You'd walk beside me
-For the rest of my days
-I held on
-To every word you said
-Like a song in my head
-Your melody is on repeat
-So love me right and
-Hold me tight and
-Keep me safe in your arms
-I need this
-This love is good and
-Love this is true and
-As long as I got you
-As long as I got you
-As long as I got you
-So can you hold me
Reiteration of the request for physical closeness
