Angus & Julia Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking all pretty when you brushed your hair
Yeah, I like it when you smile
Won't you stay with me just for a little while?
Can I take you home?
Can I take you home?
We can go anywhere you wanna go
To the mountain sky?
We can go as far as you wanna go
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa
Sitting here now beneath them stars
Makes me wanna take them wings to my arms
She's got this way, she's got this way
Of wrapping her little heart around mine
Can I take you home?
Can I take you home?
We can go anywhere you wanna go
Can I take you high
To the mountain sky?
We can go as far as you wanna go
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa
Can I take you home?
Can I take you home?
We can go anywhere you wanna go
Can I take you high
To the mountain sky?
We can go as far as you wanna go
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa
Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa
The lyrics of Angus & Julia Stone's "Grizzly Bear" seem to describe a moment of infatuation and attraction between two people. The singer appears to be smitten by the person they are addressing, noticing their physical appearance ("Looking all pretty when you brushed your hair") and enjoying their company ("Yeah I like it when you smile"). The repeated refrain of "Can I take you home?" suggests a desire to continue spending time with this person and perhaps to pursue a romantic or sexual relationship with them.
The second half of the song shifts into a more dreamlike and poetic mode as the singer gazes up at the stars and imagines wrapping their wings around their beloved. The lyric "She's got this way, she's got this way / Of wrapping her little heart around mine" implies a deep emotional connection and an almost mystical bond between the two lovers. The song ends on a repeat of the refrain, as if the singer is still hoping to convince their beloved to come away with them and explore the world together.
Overall, "Grizzly Bear" is a simple and sweet love song with a folksy feel and a touch of whimsy. Its vivid imagery and catchy melody make it a memorable entry in Angus & Julia Stone's catalogue.

Sitting here now beneath them stars
I am currently sitting under the stars
Makes me wanna take them wings to my arms
It makes me feel like I have wings on my arms
She's got this way, she's got this way
She has a unique character
Of wrapping her little heart around mine
She has a way of capturing my heart

My now ex showed me this song about 2 years ago. Fun times! Cherish your moments, sometimes things aren't meant to last.
@ITheorey
My (4 years ago ex) showed me this song about 6 years ago lol, haven't listened to it since until right now, crazy how much a song like this can take you back and make you remember things you haven't remembered in a long time. I agree with your last words, and sometimes the memories are all all we can ask for in this life.
