Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's alright, I don't mind at all
Let 'em all tumble right into the sea
Well that's just fine, that's alright with me
Since you came down the line
I can't sleep at night, I got one thing on my mind
That's every day, every night
I want to be with you
'Cause you're just so out of sight
I want to be with you, that's what I want to do
Now I lost my job at the Texaco station
'Cause instead of pumping gas I'd dream of you
I got thrown out of my house, I got such a bad reputation
'Cause all I want to do is be seen with you
They gave me my pay and said walk
I don't care what they say, go ahead and let 'em all talk
'Til the world falls apart
I want to be with you
I want to be with you
That's what I want to do
Until they will rip out my heart
I want to be with you, I want to be with you
Well that's all I want to do
Hold tight, love me just a little bit
Alright, a little bit more
Tonight, tonight give me just a little kiss
No I don't know, I don't know, I don't
I just can't understand it, you're not pretty at all
But I come when you whisper, I run when you call
When I see you on the street I fall on my face
I drop to my knees, I plead my case
Oh, oh I want to be with you
I want to be with you, that's what I want to do
Oh, oh I want to be with you
I want to be with you, that's all I want to do
Oh, oh I want to be with you
I want to be with you, darlin', don't you know
Oh, oh I want to be with you
I want to be with you because I love you so
The song starts off with a sense of indifference towards the destruction of the cities. The singer claims it doesn't affect him if all the cities fall into the sea because the only thing that matters to him is being with his beloved. From the moment he met her, his obsession with her has taken over his life. He can't think of anything else, whether it's day or night. His love for her is uncontrollable and he's not ashamed to admit it. He's lost his job and has a bad reputation because of it, but he doesn't care. All he wants is to be seen with her. He's willing to lose everything for her love.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer wants to be with her no matter what happens. He wants to be with her until the world falls apart and even if his heart gets ripped out, he still wants to be with her. She's not conventionally pretty, but he's drawn to her nonetheless. He falls on his face and pleads his case whenever he sees her on the street. All he wants to do is be with her and love her more and more each night.
Overall, the song is a declaration of love and commitment to someone who may not be seen as the conventional love interest. The singer is so in love that he's willing to risk everything for her, even if it means losing his job and reputation.

Let the frozen cities crumble, crumble and fall
I don't care about anything else in the world, not even the fall of frozen cities
That's alright, I don't mind at all
I am perfectly content with just being with you
Let 'em all tumble right into the sea
Even if everything else falls apart, it's okay as long as I'm with you
Since you came down the line
Ever since I met you
I can't sleep at night, I got one thing on my mind
I can't stop thinking about being with you
That's every day, every night
It's a constant thought that consumes me
I want to be with you
All I want is to be with you
I want to be with you, that's what I want to do
There's nothing else I want more than to be with you
'Cause you're just so out of sight
You are the most amazing person in my eyes
Now I lost my job at the Texaco station
I lost my job because I couldn't focus on anything that wasn't about you
'Cause instead of pumping gas I'd dream of you
My thoughts are with you even when I should be working
I got thrown out of my house, I got such a bad reputation
I've been cast out and my reputation has suffered because of my obsession with you
'Cause all I want to do is be seen with you
All I care about is being in your presence
They gave me my pay and said walk
I lost everything, even my job
I don't care what they say, go ahead and let 'em all talk
I don't care about anything but being with you, let everyone talk if they want
'Til the world falls apart
Until the end of time
Until they will rip out my heart
Even if it means risking everything I have, I want to be with you
Hold tight, love me just a little bit
Stay close to me, love me even more
Alright, a little bit more
Show me just a little more love
Tonight, tonight give me just a little kiss
Tonight, please give me just one small kiss
No I don't know, I don't know, I don't
I can't explain it, but I need to be with you
I just can't understand it, you're not pretty at all
I know the world might not see your beauty, but I see it clearly
But I come when you whisper, I run when you call
I am always there for you when you need me
When I see you on the street I fall on my face
You have such a hold on my heart that seeing you takes my breath away
I drop to my knees, I plead my case
I will do anything to prove that I love you
I want to be with you, darlin', don't you know
I hope you understand just how much I want to be with you
I want to be with you because I love you so
My love for you is the reason I want to be with you always
