Ellie Goulding/Kygo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Let me take you past the satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
So love me like you do, l-l-love me like you do
Love me like you do, l-l-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, t-t-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a Holy Grail I've gotta find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around, I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, l-l-love me like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, l-l-love like you do
Touch me like you do, t-t-touch like you do
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, l-l-love like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, l-l-love like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, t-t-touch like you do
What are you waiting for?
I'll let you set the pace
'Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around, I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, l-l-love like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, l-l-love like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, t-t-touch like you do
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, l-l-love like you do (like you do)
Love me like you do, l-l-love me like you do (yeah)
Touch me like you do, t-t-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Ellie Goulding's song Love Me Like You Do is a romantic and seductive song that tells the story of two lovers who cannot resist each other. The first verse of the song explains how the person being sung to is the light, night, and color of the singer's blood. They are the cure and pain, and the only thing the singer wants to touch. The second verse continues the theme of the unbeatable effect the person has on the singer, stating that even their fear does not affect them because they have never been so high. The chorus repeats the request to love the singer like they do, and to touch them as well. The song's meaning is that the singer feels like their lover has brought them to life and they want to experience full love and affection.
The third verse describes the paradise of the situation, where every inch of their skin is holy and the only thing that can set the singer's heart on fire is their lover. The pre-chorus returns to the fact that the singer is not thinking straight and their head is spinning around; they cannot see things clearly anymore. The chorus repeats again, asking their partner to love and touch them as they do, ultimately asking what they are waiting for.
The song's powerful and evocative lyrics allow us to understand the deep connection between the two lovers. They are so connected that they bring out the best in each other's lives. It's a song that tells a tale of two hearts that are meant to be together; that through them, they have become whole.

On the edge of paradise

Touch me with the same love and care you always do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me with the same passion and intensity you always do
