Olive You Feat. Kimmi Smiles
Dave Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That little feeling everyone talks about
The things you say like I miss your face
I wanna let you know but I can't get the words to go so
Olive you and everything you do
What two words can mean afraid to say the other three
Olive you the words are coming true
Can't fight the feeling I feel inside
I try to tell you but I always hide
The things you say like I want you to stay right
Here by my side and let the words slide
Olive you and the little things you do
What two words can mean afraid to say the other three
Olive you the words are coming true
I don't know what to say but olive you
You wanna tell me but I don't know how to say it
I'll let it out what's been on my mind
Those two words need an I love...
I love you and everything you do
These two words mean what I meant to say with three
I love you never felt so smooth
All I can say is I love you
(Olive you olive you olive you)
I love you
(Olive you olive you olive you)
I love you
(Olive you olive you olive you)
I love you
(Olive you olive you olive you)
I love you
In Dave Days's song Olive You, featuring Kimmi Smiles, the lyrics express the difficulty of expressing one's feelings to a loved one. The song talks about a feeling that everyone talks about but can't seem to put into words. The singer wants to let the person know that they miss them, but they can't seem to get the words out of their mouth. However, the singer says "Olive you," which seems to represent something more than just "I love you." It's like the singer wants to convey his love for the person but doesn't want to fully express it.
The lyrics continue to express the struggle of hiding one's feelings and not being able to fight the feeling inside. The person wants the other to stay by their side and tries to let the words slide, but still can't seem to say it. However, eventually, the person musters up the courage to say the words "I love you." The song ends with the repetition of "Olive you" before finally expressing their love undeniably.
Through the use of playful puns, the song's lyrics portray the difficulty of expressing one's emotions while still conveying love in some way. The song is ultimately about the fear of rejection, which everyone can relate to at some point in their lives.
