Say It Again
Frances Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You run with the sun in your eyes
Arms open to whatever you find
Then there's me
Hopelessly trying to find a way
Of hearing three little words from your mouth
And not filling this heaven with doubt
Humor me, I know you've said it but
Say it again
I wanna know that you mean it, this time
Say it again
I know that I should believe it
But I
Never thought someone would love me like you say you do
So say it again, and I'll say it back to you

You're holding my heart in your hands
And it's the safest feeling I've had, it can't be true
Someone like you, feels this way for me
I hear three little words from your mouth
And my heart can't figure it out
So humor me, I know you've said it but

Just say it again
I wanna know that you mean it, this time
Say it again
I know that I should believe it
But I
Never thought someone would love me like you say you do
So say it again, and I'll say it back to you

I know you've said it but just say it again
I wanna know that you mean it, this time
Say it again
I know that I should believe it
But I




Never thought someone would love me like you say you do
So say it again, and I'll say it back to you

Overall Meaning

Frances's song "Say It Again" is a heartfelt plea for affirmation. In the first verse, she sets up an image of her partner as someone confident and carefree, while she struggles with doubt and insecurity. She longs to hear those three little words, "I love you," from her partner's mouth once again, but this time with certainty and without any doubt. She wants to believe that someone could love her like her partner claims to, but her insecurity keeps nagging at her. The chorus is a repeated plea for her partner to say those three words again, as she searches for reassurance that this love is real.


The second verse brings in a sense of disbelief, as Frances can hardly believe that someone like her partner could love her in this way. She acknowledges that she feels safe in her partner's hands, but her heart still can't make sense of the emotions she's feeling. Once again, the chorus repeats the plea for her partner to say those three words again, with a promise that she'll say them back in return.


"Say It Again" is a song that captures the vulnerability and insecurity that can sometimes come with falling in love. Frances's raw and emotional vocal performance perfectly conveys the longing and desperation of the lyrics. It's a song that anyone can relate to, as we all seek reassurance and affirmation in our relationships.


Line by Line Meaning

You run with the sun in your eyes
You take on life with a positive and optimistic attitude


Arms open to whatever you find
You are open to new experiences and opportunities


Then there's me
I am different from you, more hesitant and guarded


Hopelessly trying to find a way
I am struggling to express my feelings properly


Of hearing three little words from your mouth
I want to hear you say 'I love you'


And not filling this heaven with doubt
I don't want to question the authenticity of your feelings for me


Humor me, I know you've said it but
Please indulge me and say it again, even though you've already said it before


Say it again
Repeat the words 'I love you'


I wanna know that you mean it, this time
I need reassurance that your love is real and not just a fleeting feeling


I know that I should believe it
I understand that you have told me you love me, but my insecurities make it hard to fully trust


But I
Despite my doubts


Never thought someone would love me like you say you do
I never believed that someone could truly love me in the way you claim to


So say it again, and I'll say it back to you
Repeat 'I love you' so I can feel secure in your affection and reciprocate the sentiment


You're holding my heart in your hands
I've entrusted my heart to you and am vulnerable to your actions and words


And it's the safest feeling I've had, it can't be true
My relationship with you is so secure and comforting that it seems too good to be real


Someone like you, feels this way for me
I find it hard to believe that someone like you, who I admire so much, could fall in love with me


And my heart can't figure it out
My emotions are overwhelming and difficult to comprehend


Just say it again
Reassure me of your love by repeating the words 'I love you'
