LOVE AGAIN
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 song "LOVE AGAIN" by Daniel Caesar is a musical representation of the complexities that arise during a tumultuous relationship. The opening lines express a desire to reconnect with a former lover who knew how to provide love, but seemingly did not follow through on maintaining that connection. The frustration and hurt that arise from this loss are palpable in the repeated refrain "wish I could feel your touch" and "wish you could follow up on me." The lyrics then shift to criticize the ex-partner, noting a tendency to only act genuine until they've gotten what they want. The line "mixing some pain and some passion, nothing is ever enough" further echoes the idea that this relationship is both alluring and irrevocably flawed.


Caesar then shifts again, expressing a desire to hold on to the relationship despite its issues. The line "hold on until the end, hold on until you can't extend" is an entreaty for willingness to keep trying. The lyrics acknowledge that there will be missteps, as evidenced by the lines "drifting on my own again, reaching out to hold your hand," but Caesar ultimately presents himself as steadfast in his intention to seek reconciliation. The final lines of the song continue this emphasis on hope and perseverance, with the repeated refrain "if you can take my hand, I promise we'll find love again."

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
