Pray To God
Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pray to God, I just don't know anymore
I pray to God, I just don't know anymore
And ooh, I lost the feeling but I'm tryin'a hold on
I thought the end of love is what made you strong
I pray to God, I just don't know anymore!
When there's no getting through, I won't hold back
I've been laying on the floor, sweeping on the ground
I would give up everything in life, I'd know how!
'Cause I can't stop wondering
If I was too late to see the signs
If I could go back with hands up, I'd look up to the sky
I'd give it, I'd give it, I'd give it
I'd give it to you,
Give it to you!
Ooh, when the moon was shining bright before mornin'
I made a deal with the stars to keep holdin'
Shining bright to come and bring me back home
The lights in my eyes, they disappeared,
Visions in my mind about to keep me from fear
I won't let it hold me down, the other way around
I don't want the words 'til I can't make a sound
'Cause I can't stop wondering
If I was too late to see the signs
If I could go back with hands up, I'd look up into the sky
I'd give it, I'd give it, I'd give it
I'd give it to you,
Give it to you!
Can't hold back, reaching out
I-I-I was living in the heat of the moment
Between us, I told you that
I-I-I was living in the heat of the moment
I'd give it, I-I-I was living in the heat of the moment
I'd give it, I-I-I was living in the heat of the moment
I'd give it, I-I-I was living in the heat of the moment
I'd give it to you, give it to you!
I'd give it, I'd give it, I'd give it
I'd give it to you,
Give it to you!
I'd give it, I'd give it, I'd give it
I'd give it to you,
Give it to you!
The lyrics of Calvin Harris's song "Pray to God" are ultimately about a feeling of regret and uncertainty. The singer of the song remembers "when this road was [their] own," which implies a past sense of control and direction that they've since lost. The repeated prayer to God highlights the singer's desperation for guidance and clarity as they struggle to navigate their current situation. Despite this struggle, they still hold onto a hope that they can "hold on" and find strength to keep going.
The lyrics also mention a desire to go back and change things, which reinforces the feeling of regret and questioning. The lines, "If I was too late to see the signs / If I could go back with hands up, I'd look up to the sky" express a longing for a second chance and a wish to have done things differently. The repeated refrain of "I'd give it to you" is likely referring to giving their all to someone or something they've perhaps lost, but the lyrics remain open-ended enough to allow for interpretation.
Overall, "Pray to God" is a song about grappling with uncertainty and regret in the midst of change. Despite the darker themes, there's still a note of hope that resonates throughout the lyrics, particularly in the singer's desire to hold on and persevere.

In the face of obstacles, I won't give up or hold anything back
I will throw down everything in life, I know now
I'm willing to risk everything for a chance at success
I've been laying on the floor, sweeping on the ground
I've hit rock bottom and have been struggling to get up

I sought support and guidance from the universe
Shining bright to come and bring me back home
I hoped for a sign to lead me back to where I belong
The lights in my eyes, they disappeared,
The hope and inspiration I once had is fading
Visions in my mind about to keep me from fear
I try to conjure positive thoughts to combat my fears
I won't let it hold me down, the other way around
I won't let my failures or obstacles keep me from moving forward
I don't want the words 'til I can't make a sound
I don't want to give up or become speechless with defeat
Can't hold back, reaching out
I'm pushing forward and reaching out for help
I-I-I was living in the heat of the moment
I was caught up in the excitement and emotion of the situation
Between us, I told you that
I confided in someone about my hopes and fears
I'd give it to you, give it to you!
I'm doing this for you and will succeed to make you proud

Oh, I remember when this road was my own
I pray to God, I just don't know anymore

I lost the feeling but I try to hold on
I thought the end of a love is what made you strong
I pray to god, I just don't know anymore
[Verse 2]
When there's no getting through
I won't hold back
I will throw down anything in life, I know now
I've been lyin' on the floor
Sleeping on the ground
I will give up everything in life, I know how
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I can't stop wondering
If I was too late to see the signs
If I could go back with hands up
I'd look up to the sky
[Chorus]
And give in
I'd give in
I'd give in
I'd give into you, give into you
[Verse 3]
Oh, when the moon was shining bright before mornin'
I made a deal with the stars to keep holdin'
Shinin' bright to come and bring me back home
The lights in my eyes, they disappeared
The visions in my mind are enough to keep me from fear
I won't let it hold me down
The other way around
I don't want the words to, I can't make a sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I can't stop wondering
If I was too late to see the signs
If I could go back with hands up
I'd look up to the sky

I'd give in
I'd give in
I'd give into you, give into you
[Bridge]
Can't hold back, reachin' out
(Hot, hot, hot) I was livin' in the heat in the moment
Between us, I told you that
(Hot, hot, hot) I was livin' in the heat in the moment
I'd give in
(Hot, hot) I was livin' in the heat in the moment
I'd give in
(Hot, hot) I was livin' in the heat in the moment
I'd give in
(Hot, hot) I was livin' in the heat in the moment
I'd give into you
Give into you

And give in
I'd give in
I'd give in
I'd give into you, give into you
And give in
I'd give in
I'd give in
I'd give into you, give into you
