Kiss Me Again
Jessica Lea Mayfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But, I ain't all there.
My head is gone, my brain is fried,
'nd I'm standing right here.
You can touch me if you want to, oh
I don't really care
But I knew everything that I ever loved.
I guess we have to play
The cards we've been dealt.
And I guess I got nothing,
But whatever happens happens...
'Cause my life is falling apart,
[Or with the kid], I don't know.
Well you can kiss me again if you want,
I don't mind.
Well you can kiss me again if you want,
Oh that'd be fine.
The lyrics of Kiss Me Again by Jessica Lea Mayfield describe a person who is in a confused and uncertain state of mind. Even though they are aware that they are not all mentally there, they still find themselves drawn to someone who has the ability to control them. They feel helpless and are resigned to the fact that they have to accept the cards that life has dealt them, even though they feel like theyâve got nothing left. The lyrics indicate that they are struggling with some kind of personal trauma, possibly related to a significant other, which has caused their life to fall apart.
The chorus of the song portrays a sense of desperation mixed with vulnerability as they express how they do not mind being kissed again. The person singing the song seems to have given up and is now open to being taken advantage of, which is evident in the lyrics, âWell you can kiss me again if you want, I don't mind."
Ultimately, the song evokes a sense of sadness, loneliness, and a feeling of being powerless while trying to navigate through difficult times.

"You can touch me if you want to, oh
I don't really care
But I have ruined everything that I ever loved.
I guess we have to play
the cards we've been dealt.
And I guess I got nothing,
but whatever happens, happens...
'cause my life is falling apart,
Or is it getting better?- I don't know."
Really beautiful... I can't help myself listening this song again and again.

But, I ain't all there.
My head is gone, my brain is fried,
'nd I'm standing right here.
You can touch me if you want to, oh

But I knew everything that I ever loved.
I guess we have to play
The cards we've been dealt.
And I guess I got nothing,
But whatever happens happens...
'Cause my life is falling apart,
[Or with the kid], I don't know.
Well you can kiss me again if you want,
I don't mind.
Well you can kiss me again if you want,
Oh that'd be fine.

She has the most magical voice. Ever.
Isabella Rose
Yes, she DOES!! I find myself listening to her music on repeat!
Elle R. Apaytor
Each time I hear her voice I kind of melt and get into some sort of out of body experience (hard to explain). What an amazing talent.
Daniel Williams
I first heard her today and she is one of the reasons i keep searching through todays music. her voice, lyrics, and simplistic guitar style are a perfect storm.

I heard that the Holy Grail was found and filled halfway with water, and when an archaeologist accidentally ran his finger around the rim of the Cup of Christ , Jessica's music was heard!
W Lee
This is most original sound I have heard in a while. Could she be the new angel of rock/grunge/folk fusion?

Americana, ...she made it great again.

She is an angel here to sing to souls in need of a hand outta the rut. Her soul speaks more volume then the decibel on most stereos and as @gregorybrandt said she sure help sooth those suicidal tendencies. Much <3 Jessica Please keep making beautiful music for us all:)
