Yes
Abbot Kinney Lighthouse Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right there on your face
I'd like to keep it making me crazy
I'd like to move into you
Without taking up your place
Can I anticipate?
Saying yes, yes
Anything you want
I say yes, I'm up to the task
Anything you ask
I'd like to stop running like I was a stupid man on fire
I'm smart enough to lay down take off my clothes
I'd like to pass this test without walking on a wire
Keep you awake when you're tired
Saying yes, yes
Anything you want
I say yes
I say yes, I'm up to the task
Anything you ask
I'd like to end this race of resistance
Walk a miracle mile
I'd like to get us both over the line
I'd like to tattoo my mouth on your shameless smile
I'd testify at your trial
A better man I never have seen
As good as one of my father's sons
And I never thought I could be
A good enough woman
A strong enough woman
Saying yes, yes
Anything you want
I say yes
I say yes, I'm up to the task
Anything you ask
The Abbot Kinney Lighthouse Choir's song "Yes" is about being open to love and commitment. The lyrics are about the singer wishing to keep the way their partner looks at them forever, not wanting to take up their space but move into them emotionally. They're willing to say "yes" to everything their partner asks of them, wanting to pass the test of love and not run away from it.
The second verse dives deeper into the singer's commitment to their partner, wanting to stop resisting and walk a miracle mile with them. They want to make their partner smile shamelessly and testify to their worthiness in court. The song ends with the singer admiring their partner and recognizing that even though they never thought they could be strong enough or good enough, their love makes them capable of being everything their partner wants.
Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to love and the power it has to make us better people. It's about being vulnerable, passionate, and committed to another person, even when it's scary.
