Zara Larsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I miss you everytime you're gone
And it's so hard to believe, ooh
You're right here with me all along
Don't know how I could deny
The magic that I feel when you're near me
It's so clear
I can let you walk away
I need you to stay by my side
Stay right here
It's too late now
Think I'm lost in your love
Your chemistry and energy got me feeling the rush
It's too late now
Got me breathing your love
There's a fire between us you're filling in with your touch
Oh oh oh
Can't hold back, can't hold back, can't hold back
Can't hold back, no
Oh oh oh
Can't hold back, can't hold back, can't hold back, can't hold back
Is it true for me, oh
You are everything I want and more
Maybe I was too naive, oh
Just so you were just the same before
I still want your mind, that you never gonna leave my arms, my arms
'Cause it's right this time
And I'm gonna show you you're the one, oh, oh
It's too late now
Think I'm lost in your love
Your chemistry and energy got me feeling the rush
It's too late now
Got me breathing your love
There's a fire between us you're filling in with your touch
Oh oh oh
Can't hold back, can't hold back, can't hold back
Cant hold back, no
Oh oh oh
Can't hold back, can't hold back, can't hold back
I don't know what it is
Just know that I can't hold back
I don't know where you came from
All I know is I'm ready for more
Oh oh
Don't know where you came from
All I know is I'm ready for more
Oh oh
Don't know where you came from
All I know is I'm ready for more
It's too late now
Think I'm lost in your love
Your chemistry and energy got me feeling the rush
It's too late now
Got me breathing your love
There's a fire between us you're filling in with your touch
Oh oh oh
Can't hold back, can't hold back, can't hold back
Cant hold back, no
Oh oh oh
Can't hold back, can't hold back, can't hold back
No, I can't, I can't, I can't oh
The lyrics of Zara Larsson's song "Can't Hold Back" express the strong feelings of love the singer has for someone in her life. She admits that this love is new to her and that she thinks about this person every time they are apart. She seems hesitant to admit these feelings at first but eventually comes to terms with them and realizes that she cannot deny the magic she feels when the person is around. She acknowledges that there is a chemistry and energy between them that leaves her feeling breathless and that she is lost in their love. She further expresses her desire to keep this person in her life and is ready for whatever comes along.
This song really hits home as it expresses the feelings of someone who has just fallen in love - the constant thoughts of the person when they are apart, the magic and chemistry felt between them, and the willingness to explore this new feeling without holding back. The lyrics are relatable and have a universal appeal.
