Need Your Love
Gryffin Seven Lions Noah Kahan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I need your love)

Under my skin
How deep I don't even know
Tried everything
But I don't anymore
Realizing
Shouldn't have let you go
Shouldn't have let you go

Hardest part is knowing that I had it
Something almost perfect
We were almost perfect
Maybe it's too late for me to save this
But I gotta face this
No matter how I hate it

I need your love
To give me hope when I can't breathe
I need your love
To lift me up when I am weak
I need your love
When I hate every part of me
I need your love to set me free
I need your love
I need your love

I need your love
I need your love
When I hate every part of me
I need your love to set me free
I need your love
I need your love

I need your love
I need your love
When I hate every part of me
I need your love to set me free
I need your love

We got so close
But that don't mean anything
When it all comes around
I just want to fall again
'Cause I'm in a place
Where I don't feel anything
I don't feel anything

Hardest part is knowing that I had it
Something almost perfect
We were almost perfect
Maybe it's too late for me to save this
But I gotta face this
No matter how I hate it

I need your love
To give me hope when I can't breathe
I need your love
To lift me up when I am weak
I need your love
When I hate every part of me
I need your love to set me free
I need your love
I need your love

I need your love
I need your love tonight
I need your love
Just your love

I need your love tonight
Just need your love
I need your love
I need your love
Your love

I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
When I hate every part of me




I need your love to set me free
I need your love

Overall Meaning

In "Need Your Love," Gryffin, Seven Lions, and Noah Kahan collaborate to create a heart-wrenching song about lost love and the desperate desire to regain it. The lyrics express the singer's realization that they let go of someone they loved deeply, and now they are feeling the consequences of that decision. The pain is so deep that it's "under their skin" and they "don't even know" how deep it goes. They've tried everything to move on but can't seem to shake the feeling that they need their lover back in their life. The hardest part is knowing that they had something almost perfect but let it slip away. However, they are determined to face their emotions and admit that they need their love and everything that comes with it.


The chorus ("I need your love") is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing how important this person's love is to the singer. They are in a dark place emotionally and need the love to "give me hope when I can't breathe," "lift me up when I am weak," and "set me free." The repeated line "when I hate every part of me" emphasizes just how much they need the love to help them overcome their self-loathing.


The second verse picks up where the first left off, emphasizing how close they were to a perfect relationship before it all fell apart. They long to experience that closeness again and "fall" for their lover once more. However, the singer is stuck in a place emotionally where "they don't feel anything" - a stark contrast to the intense emotions they express throughout the song. Yet even in this numbness, they need their love to help them break free and truly feel again.


Overall, "Need Your Love" speaks to the universal experience of losing someone we love deeply and feeling the raw pain and longing that comes with it. The lyrics beautifully convey these emotions, and the collaboration between Gryffin, Seven Lions, and Noah Kahan creates a hauntingly beautiful melody to match.

Under my skin, how deep, I don't even know
Tried everything, but I don't anymore
Realizin' shouldn't have let you go, shouldn't have let you go
Hardest part is knowing that I had it

I found this roller skater named Jack when one of his videos went viral and thought what he was doing was super cool. We decided to put together a fun little video for Need Your Love and I’m super happy with how it turned out.

Hope this video can uplift you with all that’s going on in the world. There will be good times like this again real soon! Hope everyone is staying safe out there, thinking of you all ❤️
