When you love someone
Drive She Said Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh...

I see your halo hangin' over me
Salt from my teardrops, I'm on bended knees
And you know that
Everyday I pray that it's all in your hands
Now you're tellin' me you don't hear what I say
When you love someone, all that I'm asking
When you love someone, is a chance to explain
When you love someone, love everlasting
Love someone, more than a dream

All my desires like a wave over me
Just the sound of my heartbeat just wasn't enough for me
And everyday I pray, but it's all in your hands
Now you're tellin' me that you know how it feels

When you love someone, all that I'm asking
When you love someone, is a chance to explain
When you love someone, love everlasting
Love someone, more than a dream, yeah

I submit to your healing hand
My heart feels no shame
In dreams you call my name
And I feel no pain
You make me feel that I'm much more than a man
So much more, yeah, yeah, yeah

When you love someone, all that I'm asking
When you love someone, is a chance to explain
When you love someone, love everlasting
Love someone, more than a dream

When you love someone
When you love someone, yeah, yeah
When you love someone, love everlasting
Love someone, more than a dream, yeah

Love someone, when you love someone
When you love someone, is a chance to explain
Love someone, love




When you love someone, yeah, yeah
Love someone

Overall Meaning

The song "When you love someone" by Drive She Said is a plea for understanding and acceptance when it comes to love. The first verse describes the singer's devotion to their partner, represented by an angelic "halo" hanging over them. They are humble and vulnerable, with tears streaming down their face as they pray for guidance and reassurance in their love. However, the partner seems to be dismissive of their feelings, saying they don't hear what the singer is saying.


Despite this, the chorus conveys the longing and hope for a chance to explain the depth of their love. The singer believes that with love comes the opportunity to overcome any obstacle, and that love is more than just a fleeting dream. The second verse describes the magnitude of the singer's desires, which wash over them like a wave. They seem to feel that their partner doesn't fully understand them, and once again, they place their faith in a higher power, praying everyday and placing their trust in God's hands.


The bridge is a moment of surrender, where the singer submits to their partner's "healing hand." They feel no shame in their vulnerability and are comforted by the idea that their partner sees them as much more than just a man. Love, for the singer, is a transformative force that brings people together and transcends boundaries.


Overall, "When you love someone" is a heartfelt ballad that speaks to the universal longing for love and understanding. The singer's vulnerability and devotion are palpable, and the song's themes of faith, surrender, and acceptance are deeply resonant.
