Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I love you when we're so far apart?
And all I want is your love.
All I want is your love.
Put out your hand, open up your mind.
How can you love me then just leave me behind?
When all I want is your love.
When all I-I want is your love.
Here I am waiting for you, here I am all alone.
Here I am waiting for you, tell me what went wrong.
All I want is your love.
All I want is your love.
I want your love.
Tell me that you love me, that you're never going leave me,
That you're never gonna hurt me, that you never will deceive me,
That you're thinking that you'll see me, that you're always thinking of me,
Tell me.
You want my love, you want my love.
Put out your hand, open up your heart.
How can I love you when we're so far apart?
When all I want is your love.
All I want is your love.
Here I am waiting for you, here I am all alone.
Here I am waiting for you, tell me what went wrong.
All I want is your love.
All I want is your love.
I want your love.
I want your love.
Oh.
Yeah.
I want your love, I want your love.
Oh, I want your love.
In "Your True Love" by Chris Isaak, the lyrics express the longing for love and the frustration of being separated from the person they love. The opening lines, "Put out your hand, open up your heart," suggest a plea for emotional connection and vulnerability. The singer is questioning how they can truly love someone when there is distance between them. The repetition of the line "All I want is your love" emphasizes the simplicity and intensity of their desire.
The second verse continues the theme of longing, this time focusing on the mind. The singer wonders how their love interest can claim to love them and then abandon them emotionally. Again, the plea for love is echoed, highlighting the one thing they truly desire. The chorus reinforces this sentiment, with the singer waiting and wondering what went wrong, still hoping for love.
The bridge of the song shifts from the singer's perspective to a plea from the love interest. They want reassurance that the love they give will be reciprocated and that they won't be hurt or deceived. The repetition of "You want my love" shows a need for affirmation and validation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Your True Love" convey a yearning for a genuine and reciprocated love that transcends physical distance and emotional barriers. It explores the complexities and vulnerabilities of love, as well as the longing for reassurance and trust.
