Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay baby, hey baby

You want it all
All alone, walking high on the wire
You want it all
Or you brag that you're lost in the fire
Before you fall
Let me show you my love that you know you've been searching for

You've been searching for
Now you got me saying

Hey baby, it'll all be fine
Take a deep breath let me blow your mind
Hey baby, leave it all behind
Show me your love and I'll show you mine
Hey baby, it'll all be fine
Take a deep breath let me blow your mind
Hey baby, leave it all behind
Show me your love and I'll show you mine

I see it all
You could run, you could hide if you like
I see it all
See you lost all the light in your eyes
I'm standing tall
Let me show you me love that you know you've been looking for
What you waiting for
Now you got me saying

Hey baby, it'll all be fine
Take a deep breath let me blow your mind
Hey baby, leave it all behind
Show me your love and I'll show you mine
Hey baby, it'll all be fine
Take a deep breath let me blow your mind
Hey baby, leave it all behind
Show me your love and I'll show you mine

Hey baby, it'll all be fine
Take a deep breath let me blow your mind
Hey baby, leave it all behind
Show me your love and I'll show you mine
Hey baby, it'll all be fine
Take a deep breath let me blow your mind

Hey baby, leave it all behind
Show me your love and I'll show you mine

It communicates that the world may seem rocky, but the singer is there to provide support, comfort, and love. In essence, it’s about finding love – the kind of love that brings healing and stability. The hope here is that by showing each other love, everything will be alright in the end.

The first verse emphasizes the idea of wanting everything, wishing for a satisfactory life, and the fear of losing out on anything. But in the second verse, the singer points out that they can see everything, and they understand that the listener has lost hope. To that end, the singer wants to be the one to show the listener what love means and the type of compassion that can be gained when they focus on that emotion. Overall, the chorus is about empowering the listener to move beyond their fears and trust that love can overcome all adversities.

Ay baby, hey baby
Greetings to the person addressed

You want it all
You aspire for everything in life

All alone, walking high on the wire
You feel isolated and vulnerable

Or you brag that you're lost in the fire
You boast of being adventurous and fearless

Before you fall
Before you stumble and fail

Let me show you my love that you know you've been searching for
Allow me to demonstrate the affection you've been seeking

You've been searching for
You've been seeking something special

I'm now compelled to say

Hey baby, it'll all be fine
Don't worry, everything will work out

Take a deep breath let me blow your mind
Relax and let me amaze you

Hey baby, leave it all behind
Forget your problems and focus on us

Show me your love and I'll show you mine
Reveal your affection and I'll reciprocate

I see it all
I understand your situation

You could run, you could hide if you like
You have choices to make, including avoiding issues

Let me show you me love that you know you've been looking for
Allow me to demonstrate the affection you've been seeking

What you waiting for
Why are you hesitating?
