Love Again
Brandy & Daniel Caesar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake from my slumber
I wish I could call you up
Miss how you'd put your love on me
Boy, you've got my number
Wish I could feel your touch
Wish you could follow up on me

You never know when to chill
Always talk 'bout keep it real
Only til you've had your fill
Then you wanna cry ill will
Really thought you knew the deal, oh
Oh well, I guess that's what happens
When two fools be falling in love
Mixing some pain and some passion
Nothing is ever enough

If you can take my hand
I promise we'll find love again, love again, yeah, yeah
If you can take my hand
I promise we'll find love again, yeah, oh (I promise)
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah

You don't even say what's up
'Round your boys you act so tough
Like you've never been in love
If you don't quit acting up
Alone is where you're gon' end up, I promise
You may think that I'm crazy
You should ask around 'bout me
Put your trust in me, baby
Ay, yeah

I wake from my slumber
I wish I could call you up
Miss how you'd put your love on me (hey)
Boy you've got my number
Wish I could feel your touch
Wish you could follow up on me

Hold on until the end
Hold on until you can't extend
I'll be clinging on to you
I'll be clinging on to you
And then begin again
Orbiting around and then
Circle back around to you
Coming back around to you
I'm coming back around and
Even on your worst day
Love you in the worst way (worst way)
Circling around for eternity
Going through the motions you're turning me, internally
Drifting on my own again
Reaching out to hold your hand
I want to be alone with you
Can I be alone with you? (Can I be alone with you?)
Can I be alone with you?

If you can take my hand
I promise we'll find love again, love again, oh
If you can take my hand




I promise we'll find love again
Ever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Brandy & Daniel Caesar's "Love Again" express the longing and desire of two people who are no longer together but still have deep feelings for each other. The opening lines "I wake from my slumber, I wish I could call you up" depict the feeling of waking up from a dream only to realize that the reality is not what they want it to be. The singer misses the way her former lover used to love her and wishes that she could feel his touch again.


As the song continues, the lyrics suggest that their relationship was complicated and had its fair share of problems. The lines "Mixing some pain and some passion, nothing is ever enough" show that their love was not straightforward, and that they struggled to find a balance between their intense feelings for each other and the difficulties they faced. The line "Hold on until you can't extend, I'll be clinging on to you" suggests that despite the challenges they faced, they both held on to their love for each other.


At the heart of the song lies the promise of finding love again. The repeated chorus "If you can take my hand, I promise we'll find love again" represents the hope that their love can be rekindled, and they can start anew. The song's lyrics express the idea that love can be messy, hard, and complicated, but it's worth fighting for.

@yojuzu9361

That run from Brandy at about 1:55 is why she is one of the best female vocalists of this generation. So underrated!

@nickolaslee2426

She works with Jasmine Sullivan on her runs also, that's why it kinda sounded like her

@javondavis3197
