Holding me more
Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A thousand ways I could've done the same
How is it we came back from the edge?
Something brought this love back from the dead
Now you're holding me more
Holding me more like the first time
The first time
I thought you forgot what it feels like
Feels like
Whatever you did with whomever it is
Thank you for making me feel like this
'Cause you're holding me more
Holding me more like the first time
The first time again
When you came here pleading independence
Songbird eyes singing me away
Promising it wouldn't make a difference
'Cause you couldn't work us out try as you may
Who is it that came and made it clearer?
'Cause I will end up thanking him one day
And now you're holding me more
Holding me more like the first time
The first time
I thought you forgot
I thought you forgot what it feels like
Feels like
Whatever you did with whomever it is
Thank you for making me feel like this
'Cause you're holding me more
Holding me more like the first time
The first time again, ooh
The first time again
In "Holding me more" by Darin, the lyrics delve into a relationship that has experienced turmoil and challenges but manages to find a way back to a place of love and connection. The opening lines express a sense of frustration and betrayal, with the singer acknowledging that both parties could have played games that could have ruined their relationship. However, despite the difficulties, something has brought this love back from the brink of destruction.
The chorus emphasizes the transformation in their relationship, as the person holding the singer has changed. It feels like they are being held with the same intensity and passion as they were in the beginning, rekindling the emotions and excitement of the first time. The singer expresses surprise and gratitude, as they had believed that their partner had forgotten what it feels like to be held in such a way.
The second verse adds further context to the situation. The partner had previously sought independence, perhaps straying away from the relationship. However, their pleading and promises persuades the singer to give them another chance, believing that it wouldn't make a difference. The identity of someone who has come and made their situation clearer is mentioned, and the singer expresses the intention to thank that person one day.
