Here With Me
µÙ¶äDido Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go, I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave, and I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed,
Risk forgetting all that's been

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go
I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave
And I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here

And I won't go
And I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave
And I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here with me

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
And I won't go
I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave
And I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here

And I won't go
And I won't sleep
And I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
And I won't leave




And I can't hide
I cannot be until you're resting here with me

Overall Meaning

The song "Here With Me" by Dido starts with the singer admitting that they didn't hear their significant other leave, and they wonder how they are still present. They confess that they don't want to move or change anything because they are afraid it might affect their memory. The chorus starts with the lines "I am what I am, I'll do what I want, but I can't hide," which could mean that the singer is trying to be true to themselves but cannot deny their feelings towards their loved one. They also admit that they won't go, sleep, or breathe until their significant other is with them. The second verse has the same sentiment, with the singer not wanting to wake up from the dream or risk forgetting everything that has happened.


The song could be interpreted in different ways. Still, it is clear that the singer is deeply in love and cannot imagine life without their partner. They are willing to wait for them, even if it means being in pain or discomfort. It could also mean that the singer is struggling with the idea of being themselves and being with someone they love, but they cannot suppress their feelings any longer. Overall, the song expresses the universal theme of longing and the consuming feeling of being in love.

[Verse 1]
Watch the sun rise along the coast
As we're both getting old
I can't describe what I'm feeling
And all I know is we're going home
So please don't let me go
Don't let me go

[Chorus]
And if it's right, I don't care how long it takes
As long as I'm with you I've got a smile on my face
Save your tears, it'll be okay
All I know is you're here with me

[Verse 2]
Watch the sun rise as we're getting old, oh oh
I can't describe oh, oh
I wish I could live through every memory again
Just one more time before we float off in the wind
And all the time we spent
Waiting for the light to take us in
Have been the greatest moments of my life

[Chorus]
I don't care how long it takes
As long as I'm with you I've got a smile on my face
Save your tears, it'll be okay
You're here with me

[Outro]
I can't describe

Just one more time before we float off in the wind

And all the time we spent
Waiting for the light to take us in
Have been the greatest moments of my life

I don't care how long it takes
As long as I'm with you, I've got a smile on my face

I love how the last music video for Romantic Homocide and this tie in with each other. We see him come out of the ocean with what he wore in the last music video. As he washes up the shore he meets someone else who, unlike the person he talks about in Romantic Homocide, actually loves him. They spend their whole life with each other, loving each other, and we keep seeing the reference with the girls flower which is always vibrant, unlike the one covered in blood from the RH video. And as they both grow up, they die still love each other.

@_Erost_

Yeah this album storytelling about to be great when it comes out

@D1ON1807

@@_Erost_ I think it’s an ep

@saraimenjivar9722

Yes! That’s exactly what I thought too
