Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's just the way it goes
Feels like I've waited so long for this
I wonder if it shows?
Head under water, now I can breath
It never felt so good
'Cause I can feel it coming over me
When love takes over, yeah
You know you can't deny
When love takes over, yeah
'Cause something's here tonight
Give me a reason, I gotta know
Do you feel it too?
Can't you see me here on overload?
And this time I blame you
Oh, looking out for you to hold my hand
It feels like I could fall
Now love me right like I know you can
We could lose it all
When love takes over, yeah
You know you can't deny
When love takes over, yeah
'Cause something's here tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
I'll be loving all the time, it's true
'Cause I want to make it right with you
When love takes over, when love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over, when love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over, when love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over, when love takes over
When love takes over
When love takes over, when love takes over
When love takes over, when love takes over
When love takes over, yeah
You know you can't deny
When love takes over, yeah
'Cause something's here tonight
The lyrics to "When Love Takes Over" by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland depict the complex emotions that come with falling in love. The opening lyrics "It's complicated, it always is, that's just the way it goes" convey the difficulty of navigating one's emotions and the uncertainty that can come with falling in love. The singer wonders if her desire for a relationship is noticeable by the person she's interested in.
The lyrics then progress to a level of oveflowing emotions through the usage of the metaphor "head underwater". The idea of being consumed with love and the inability to control these feelings is conveyed through the line: "I can feel it coming over me, I wouldn't stop it if I could". This shows an acceptance of vulnerability, and the singer doesn't care to hide their emotions.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "When love takes over" which reinforces the power of love and how it can take control of one's emotions. In the second verse, the singer simplifies their need for affection, asking for a hand to hold and wanting to feel secure., while ultimately, the song ends with "I'll be loving all the time, it's true, 'cause I want to make it right with you". This last verse indicates to the listener that the singer is committed to making this work, even if there are struggles along the way.
