Chills
Avamarie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish
I could share with you all the things I know to be true
But I'll tell you one thing
My heart oh my heart belongs to you
Painted lips, soft skin
Butterflies flying through my chest
Near or far I feel you
You're my safety net

Cause I got a man
That I can't stand
But when he holds my hand
I get chills
I'm in my feels oh it's so real
Just on the edge of what's real
I can see my whole life with you
Make me feel free like the first time
You and me you and me
Painted lips, soft skin
Butterflies flying through my chest (Flying through, flying through)
Near or far I feel you
You're my safety net (Catch me when I'm falling, catch me when I'm falling)
Cause I got a man that I can't stand
But when he holds my hand

I get chills
I'm in my feels oh it's so real

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics to the song "Chills" by Avamarie, the singer expresses her longing for a deep and true connection with someone. She wishes she could share all the things she knows to be true with this person, but she settles for sharing one aspect of her truth - that her heart belongs to them. The imagery of painted lips and soft skin evokes sensuality and intimacy, as the singer experiences butterflies in her chest and feeling close to this person, even if they are physically far away. The person she is speaking to is their safety net, catching them when they are falling.

However, there is a complication in this connection - the singer has a man that she can't stand, but who gives her chills when he holds her hand. Even though she is in her feelings and it feels real to her, she is on the edge of what's real. Despite this, she can see her whole life with the person she is truly connected to, feeling free like the first time they were together. The chorus repeats the idea that even with this unwanted man in her life, he still gives her chills with his touch, and the singer is left in her feelings, caught between two different experiences of love.

Overall, the lyrics of "Chills" explore the complexities of love and connection, with the singer torn between two different understandings of it. She longs for a true and deep connection, but is currently caught up with a man she doesn't like, who paradoxically gives her chills.

I wish
I long to share the knowledge that I believe to be true

I could share with you all the things I know to be true
I wish I could impart all of my wisdom upon you

But I'll tell you one thing
At least for now, I will reveal just a single truth

My heart oh my heart belongs to you
My heart beats only for you

Painted lips, soft skin
Your beauty captivates me

Butterflies flying through my chest
When I'm with you, I'm filled with joy and excitement

Near or far I feel you
In your presence or not, I still feel your love

You're my safety net
You give me a sense of security and reassurance

Cause I got a man
I am in a relationship with someone else

That I can't stand
I dislike or even hate him

But when he holds my hand
Despite my dislike, his touch still affects me

I get chills
My body responds with shivers

I'm in my feels oh it's so real
The emotions I experience are intense and authentic

Just on the edge of what's real
My feelings for you are almost too good to be true

I can see my whole life with you
I envision a future with you in it

Make me feel free like the first time
Being with you brings me back to the thrill of our first time together

You and me you and me
It's all about us, no one else matters

Catch me when I'm falling, catch me when I'm falling
You are there to protect me and help me when I need it
