Steal My Kiss
Taylor Ray Holbrook Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

girl I know you're busy and that ain't nothing new
girl lay it on the line cause there's nothing left to lose
gonna call it like it is I'm done being used
you don't wanna be together but you know it ain't true
and all I can say is I don't know how to say it you're the high I keep chasing and I'm the song you keep playing
and never let it fade out
everytime it's feeling right
you go and do me wrong

and by the morning light you wanna turn it off so tell me why I play the fool again
when I start to let it go you go and pull me in until I get to close and then you're over this
yeah but you still wanna steal my kiss
I don't mean to bother just thought you'd like to know I won't be picking up just to be that old hello
it's a two am tequila another last call
it's only when you're lonely that you want me at all

and all I can say is I don't know how to say it but you're the high I keep chasing and I'm the song you keep playing
never let it fade out
everytime it's feeling right you go and do me wrong and by the morning light you wanna turn it off
so tell me why I play the fool again
when I start to let it go you go and pull me in until I get to close and then you're over this but you still wanna steal my kiss
covers, covers, pretend there's no other, until I discover we're laying on a bed of lies, I try to give in give all my attention, were wasted on a change of mind.
so tell me why everytime it's feeling right you go and do me wrong and by the morning light you wanna turn it off. so tell me why I play the fool again when I start to let it go you go and pull me in until I get to close then you're over this

yeah but you still wanna steal my kiss
steal my kiss
steal my kiss

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Taylor Ray Holbrook's song Steal My Kiss describes a complicated love-hate relationship. The first verse begins by acknowledging that the girl is busy, but the singer wants her to be honest with him, as he can't take the way she's been using him. Although she claims that she doesn't want to be together, the singer knows that deep down, she is not being truthful. The chorus of the song highlights the dependence between the two of them - she is the high he keeps chasing, and he is the song she keeps playing. Even when everything feels right, she continues to hurt him and pulls away until she wants him back again. The singer is frustrated because he knows he's being played, but he can't help but get pulled back in every time. The last verse implies that the girl lies to herself about her true feelings, pretending that there is no one else for her until the singer discovers that they are lying on a bed of lies. Despite everything, the singer still wants her and can't help himself from being with her.


The lyrics are relatable and describe a pattern that is often seen in turbulent relationships. The push and pull effect of someone being treated poorly, but still wanting to be with the person who hurts them is a universal feeling that many people can relate to. The lyrics also highlight the importance of communicating honestly and being straight forward with our partners to avoid unnecessary pain and heartbreak.
