Shiver
Drew Dillon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's harder this time to tell or to see
Is it the cold that's running through him?
Or is it something to do with me?
One touch is all I want baby
Over your shoulder, no one's looking they can't see
One touch is all I'm asking
One touch is all I want baby
One touch to start driving me crazy
A slight of the hand, move to skin on skin
Feel the sweat of your palm let the feeling in and
One touch
Oh if you're strong enough, I got it
One touch.
Won't come over here if you're man enough
Oh you'll make me shiver, make me drop to my knees and
Oh you'll make me shiver, do that thing to my body please
You'll make me shiver, you're that tingle up my spine
You'll make me shiver, my boy's taking his own sweet time
Oh I got something to say
I'm not tearing your clothes not getting carried away and
I'll tell you something I think you'll understand
I'm not falling in love just need you to hold my hand
One touch all the cool kids do it
One touch and I know it sounds stupid
It's one touch it's just numbers and letters
Should we move in the shadows, would that make you feel better?
And it's one touch what are you afraid of?
One touch, we're not getting a little rough
A slight of the hand, move to skin on skin, feel the sweat of your palm, let the feeling in and
Oh it's one touch
Yeah, if you're strong enough
I got it one touch
Won't come over here if you're man enough
Oh you'll make me shiver, make me drop to my knees and
Oh you'll make me shiver, do that thing to my body please
You'll make me shiver, you're that tingle up my spine
You'll make me shiver, my boy's taking his own sweet time
Ok I got something to say
I'm not tearing your clothes not getting carried away and
I'll tell you something I think you'll understand
I'm not falling in love just need you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
The lyrics to Drew Dillon's song "Shiver" delve into the sensation of longing and desire, focusing on the power of physical touch to evoke intense emotions. The singer describes a feeling of shivering, which could be interpreted as a physical reaction to a mix of emotions and sensations that overwhelm them. The opening lines hint at uncertainty - is the shivering caused by external factors like cold, or is it stirred by the presence of another person, possibly a romantic interest?
The repeated mention of "one touch" throughout the song emphasizes the simplicity yet profound impact of physical contact. It's a plea for intimacy and connection, a desire for a moment of closeness that can ignite passion and desire. The lyrics suggest that a single touch has the power to drive the singer crazy, to make them shiver and succumb to the physical and emotional effects of that touch.
The mention of "cool kids" and the question of moving in shadows hint at a sense of rebellion or breaking societal norms when it comes to expressing desire and seeking intimacy. The singer acknowledges the potential risks and fears that come with allowing oneself to be vulnerable, but they're willing to take that chance for the sake of experiencing that powerful connection through one touch.
Ultimately, the song conveys a yearning for that special connection that goes beyond physical touch, hinting at a deeper emotional need for reassurance and comfort. The repetition of "Hold my hand" at the end underscores this longing for emotional support and a sense of security, rather than just a moment of physical pleasure. The lyrics infuse the concept of touch with layers of meaning, exploring the complexities of desire, vulnerability, and the human need for connection.
