You Give Me Something
詹姆斯莫里森 James Morrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You only hold me when I sleep
I was meant to tread the water
Now I've gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away
'Cause you give me something
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart
You already waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
I can't work out what they mean
I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart
But it might me a second too late
And the words I could never say
Gonna come out anyway
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
"You Give Me Something" is a love song by English singer-songwriter James Morrison. The song is about a person who is hesitant to fully commit to a relationship as they are afraid of being hurt again. The opening lines suggest that the other person wants to spend the night with the singer but only holds them when they sleep which has made them feel deeply connected. However, they are also unsure if they want to take the risk of falling in love as they feel like they are in too deep. The singer is divided between their desire to be with that person and the fear of getting hurt again.
The chorus is a conversation with the other person, pleading to 'give me something', a chance at love, since they're scared of the possibility of nothing. They are willing to give it a try as they know they might regret it later if they don't. The lyrics imply that their hearts and minds are in conflict, they wish to know what their heart wants but they are uncertain. The lyrics talk about how the singer isn't afraid of the love, but is afraid to lose what they have found.
It's a song with a message of vulnerability, uncertainty and hope. The lyrics capture the essence of how love can be scary and we all take a leap of faith when we fall in love.
Line by Line Meaning
You want to stay with me in the morning
You desire to spend the early hours of the day with me
You only hold me when I sleep
You only show affection to me when I am asleep
I was meant to tread the water
I was supposed to stay in my comfort zone
Now I've gotten in too deep
But now I have become too involved with you
For every piece of me that wants you
Although a part of me desires you
Another piece backs away
Another part of me retreats from you
'Cause you give me something
It is because you bring me something
That makes me scared, alright
That triggers fear inside me
This could be nothing
This could amount to nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
But I am ready to attempt it
Please give me something
Please provide me with something
'Cause someday I might know my heart
Maybe one day I will discover what my heart wants
You already waited up for hours
You already stayed awake for many hours waiting for me
Just to spend a little time alone with me
Just to have a brief moment with me in solitude
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
And I confess that I have never given you flowers
I can't work out what they mean
I cannot understand the significance of flowers
I never thought that I'd love someone
I never imagined that I would fall in love with someone
That was someone else's dream
Who was the hope or desire of another person
But it might me a second too late
But it may be too little too late
And the words I could never say
And the words that I could never utter
Gonna come out anyway
May come out regardless
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart
Understand what my heart yearns for
