Dave Melillo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's on your finger tips
Babe, you can't deny
There's something there
Tell me what you think about me
Talking to you day and night
Never knowing what's on your mind
If that meant you would dream about me
Everybody tells you that they live for a meaning
Did i ever mention that the meaning was you?
I'm sick of wasting time and laying to each other
'cause i do, what i do but i swear
It's all because of you
Try to take advantage of the time we have
If i'm down when i'm with you
It makes sense some how
Don't let me hit the ground
Wanna feel it on your lips
Something that i can't predict
Believing in a feeling isn't something
That i'm used to but i'm opening my eyes to it
Wondering if i can commit
You know it would be easy if you said
You couldn't live without me
Everybody tells you that they live for a meaning
Did i ever mention that the meaning was you?
I'm sick of wasting time and layin' to each other
'cause i do, what i do but i swear
It's all because of you
Try to take advantage of the time we have
If i'm down when i'm with you
It makes sense some how
Don't let me hit the ground
I've been having trouble sleeping when you're gone
I don't do to well at all on my own
But when i wake up and you're sleeping in my arms
Any place could feel like home
Everybody tells you that they live for a meaning
Did i ever mention that the meaning was you?
Try to take advantage of the time we have
If i'm down when i'm with you
It makes sense some how
I know these moments are hard to find
So we're taking our time
Making sure that we do this right
People telling us love is blind
That's why i'm finding it hard
To read between the lines

The song "Read Between the Lines" by Dave Melillo is about a person who is trying to convince someone that they have feelings for them. The first verse asks the person not to walk away from a potential relationship because there is "something there." The singer wants to know if the other person shares their feelings, using the line "tell me what you think about me." In the pre-chorus, the singer admits they are talking to the other person constantly, but they still don't know what's on their mind. The chorus then repeats the idea that the singer's feelings for the other person are strong and that they're sick of wasting time pretending they don't care.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't walk away from this
Please don't leave without giving us a chance
It's on your finger tips
You know it too, it's so obvious
Babe, you can't deny
It's impossible to hide our chemistry
There's something there
We have a strong connection
Tell me what you think about me
Let's have an honest conversation about us
Talking to you day and night
We communicate a lot
Never knowing what's on your mind
I'm not sure how you feel
Break it up and build it down
Let's start from scratch if we have to
If that meant you would dream about me
I want to be constantly on your mind
Everybody tells you that they live for a meaning
People always talk about finding purpose in life
Did i ever mention that the meaning was you?
But I've found my meaning in you
I'm sick of wasting time and laying to each other
I'm tired of pretending like I don't care
'cause i do, what i do but i swear
Everything I do is because of you
It's all because of you
You are the reason behind my actions
Try to take advantage of the time we have
Let's make the most of every moment together
If i'm down when i'm with you
Even on my worst days, being with you makes it better
It makes sense some how
Our relationship just fits
Don't let me hit the ground
Don't let me fall apart without you
Wanna feel it on your lips
I want to kiss you so badly
Something that i can't predict
But I know it's going to be amazing
Believing in a feeling isn't something
I'm not used to following my heart
That i'm used to but i'm opening my eyes to it
But I'm willing to give it a chance with you
Wondering if i can commit
I'm not sure if I'm ready to fully invest in us
You know it would be easy if you said
But it would make things so much simpler if you told me how you felt
You couldn't live without me
If you told me that you needed me, I wouldn't hesitate
I've been having trouble sleeping when you're gone
I miss you so much when you're not around
I don't do to well at all on my own
I struggle to function without you
But when i wake up and you're sleeping in my arms
But having you beside me makes everything better
Any place could feel like home
As long as you're with me, I feel at home
I know these moments are hard to find
I realize that this kind of connection is rare
So we're taking our time
That's why we're not rushing into anything
Making sure that we do this right
We want to make sure that we make the best of what we have
People telling us love is blind
Even though some people doubt us, we believe in each other
That's why i'm finding it hard
That's why it's difficult for me to interpret what's happening
To read between the lines
I'm struggling to fully understand what you feel
