Gavin DeGraw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everyone I ever had, was just from being stupid and
I was standing at the edge, we've never been here before
So are we gonna give in' what happens if we fall
Who's gonna save, who's gonna save us tonight, tonight
Who's gonna save, who's gonna save us tonight, tonight
And we're too cool with this
So tell me who's gonna save, who's gonna save us tonight, tonight
Politics and presidents, it's like there building a wall
I got me own line of defense, somehow you broke through it all
At the bottom of an empty bottle, it's where the truth starts to spill
Don't wanna wake up with regret
From this feeling that we can count
Who's gonna save, who's gonna save us tonight, tonight
Who's gonna save, who's gonna save us tonight, tonight
And we're too cool with this
But it's just to shun to fight
So tell me who's gonna save, who's gonna save us tonight, tonight
See, and believe, you're making me breath
Deeper than the ocean
Personas, who can we call
But risking what we have, it's something more
Don't wanna lose it all
Who's gonna save, who's gonna save us tonight, tonight
Who's gonna save, who's gonna save us tonight, tonight
We've been way too cool with this
But these words too hard to find
Should we stop, should we wait
Before it's too late, to be stopped, should we wait
Before it's too late
Tell me who's gonna save, who's gonna save us tonight, tonight
In Gavin DeGraw's song "Who's Gonna Save Us," the singer reflects on the uncertainty and vulnerability of a relationship. He recognizes that his partner has a wild side that he doesn't want to hold back, but he's also afraid of falling too deep and not being able to save themselves from the consequences. In the midst of political turmoil, the singer finds comfort in his relationship, but also recognizes the fragility of it. He doesn't want to wake up with regret or lose what he has, but he also doesn't know who to turn to for help.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated question "who's gonna save us tonight," underscores this sense of uncertainty and helplessness. The singer recognizes that they can't navigate the complexities of the relationship alone, and they need someone to help them through it. The song acknowledges the difficulties of relationships, especially in the face of external pressures, but also highlights the importance of having someone to rely on.
Overall, "Who's Gonna Save Us" is a poignant reflection on the challenges of relationships and the need for support and guidance.
