All I Ask
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't say a word
They've all been said before, you know
So why don't we just play pretend?
Like we're not scared of what's coming next
Or scared of having nothing left
Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?
I don't need your honesty
It's already in your eyes
And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that matters
Tell me who do I run to?
Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?
Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?
The song "All I Ask" by Adele is a ballad that expresses the pain and complexity of a love that is about to come to an end. The lyrics talk about a couple who know that their time together is limited, and although they try to hide their fears, their eyes reveal their desperation. The singer asks her lover to hold her, to give her a memory she can use, to take her by the hand and act as lovers do, because she doesn't want to regret the way things ended between them. The lyrics express the profound sadness and longing of a love that is about to be lost forever.
The first verse of the song sets the mood for the rest of the song. The singer states that she won't say a word, because everything has already been said before, implying that the couple has talked about their situation to no avail. Therefore, they decide to pretend that everything is fine, to play a game and deceive themselves into believing that they are not scared of what's coming next. The chorus is the main message of the song, and it's a plea from the singer to her lover to hold her tightly and make this last night together memorable. She wants to feel loved and cherished, to be more than just a friend, and to experience everything that lovers do. The bridge of the song shifts the tone from desperation to acceptance, as the singer acknowledges that whatever happens, this love will be a valuable lesson that she will remember forever.
Overall, "All I Ask" is a powerful and emotional song that deals with the pain and complexity of love, especially when it's about to end. The lyrics are beautifully written and express the deep longing and sadness that the singer feels. The melody and Adele's voice further enhance the emotions of the song, making it a memorable and touching ballad.
