Feel Your Love
Crosby Stills Nash & Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
right where we used to be,
This city dancing
like a sparkling sea.
I wanna catch a wave,
I wanna swim to shore.
Walk on that same beach
like I did before.
I really want the sun,
want the sun to rise,
I really want
to end the night.
I really wanna feel,
wanna feel your love.
I wanna feel your love.
I think of our old friends,
I count my enemies.
I hear you tell me how
I don't know love.
I wanna feel your love,
I wanna lay right down.
Wish I was swimming
in the sound of love.
I really want the night,
want the night to end.
I really want
the sun to rise.
I really wanna feel,
wanna feel your love.
I wanna feel your love.
And now the night is still,
the mansion on the hill,
The children sleeping
in their endless dreams.
I wanna feel your love,
I wanna feel your love,
I wanna feel your love,
feel your love,
feel your love.
I wanna feel your love,
I wanna feel your love,
I wanna feel your love,
feel your love,
feel your love.
The lyrics of "Feel Your Love" by Crosby Stills Nash & Young evoke feelings of nostalgia and yearning for something that has been lost. The song opens with a scene of being high on a balcony overlooking a city that is alive and vibrant, like a sparkling sea. It is reminiscent of a time when things were better and the singer longs to go back to that place. They want to catch a wave and swim to shore, to walk on the same beach as they did before. This is a metaphor for returning to a time when they were happy and carefree.
The chorus amplifies the longing for love and connection. The singer wants the night to end and the sun to rise because they want to feel the love of the person they are addressing. They think of old friends and count their enemies, suggesting that they are lonely and looking for connection. The desire for love is so strong that they want to swim in the sound of it. The final verse brings a sense of peace, as the night is still with the children sleeping in their endless dreams. But even in this moment of calm, the singer still longs for the love they seek.
"Feel Your Love" is a song about missing someone, longing for love, and wanting to return to a happier time. The lyrics are wistful and melancholy, with a sense of yearning that is universal.
