Here With Me
Dido & Enya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder how am I still here
I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want, but I can't hide
I won't go, I won't sleep
I won't leave, I can't hide
I cannot be, until you're resting here with me
I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want, but I can't hide
I won't go, I won't sleep
I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me
I won't leave, I can't hide
I cannot be, until you're resting here
I won't go, I won't sleep
I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me
I won't leave, I can't hide
I cannot be, until you're resting here with me
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want, but I can't hide
I won't go, I won't sleep
I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me
I won't leave, I can't hide
I cannot be, until you're resting here with me
I won't leave, I can't hide
I cannot be, until you're resting here with me
I won't go, I won't sleep
I can't breathe, until you're resting here with me
I won't leave, I can't hide
I cannot be, until you're resting here with me
The lyrics to Dido and Enya's song "Here with Me" paint a vivid picture of a person longing for the presence of their loved one. The person sings about their fear of losing the memory of their loved one and their reluctance to move or call their friends because they don't want to risk waking up from this dreamlike state. The person repeats several times throughout the song that they cannot breathe or be until their love is "resting here with me."
The song seems to capture the essence of love and the desire for physical and emotional closeness with someone. The repetition of the line "I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be, until you're resting here with me" reinforces the idea that the person is incomplete without their loved one. The song is both romantic and melancholic, as it reveals the emptiness the person feels when their love is not present.
Overall, "Here with Me" is a beautiful and hauntingly powerful song about love, loss, and the lengths we will go to be with the ones we cherish.
