Make You Mine
Heather Nova Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're the one I think about time after time
You're the one that comes to me visions in the night
I want to complicate your feelings
I want to heat you up inside
Yeah yeah yeah I want to make you mine

I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in

Gonna make my bed beside you
In the bluebells of your soul
Gonna slip into your river, babe
Linger in your shoals
And when the stars are bright like fireflies
And the night is black as coal
Yeah yeah yeah, I'm gonna make you mine

I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your sweet honey
I kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in

On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine X4
Gonna make you mine, yeah

I'll be your sun coming up
I'll be your dog days
I'll be your new morning
Kiss you baby
I'll be the bluebird singing
I'll keep you warm
I'll take you deep in
Take you deep in
Yeah, yeah, yeah

On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
I'm gonna make you mine

On another side of time
Before the sea runs dry
Yeah yeah yeah
On another side of time
Where the love runs high
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna make you mine
Gonna make you mine





In the bluebells of your soul
Yeah before the sea runs dry

Overall Meaning

The verse of "Make You Mine" by Heather Nova describes a person who is consumed with thoughts of someone else. The person in question is constantly in their mind, appearing in their dreams and thoughts day and night. Despite wanting to complicate their feelings, they want to heat them up inside, suggesting an intense passion yearning to be unleashed. The chorus amplifies this sentiment by declaring the singer wants to own this person and be the source of all their happiness. The singer pledges to accompany the person through all stages of their lives, beginning with being their sun coming up, their dog days, and their sweet honey. The singer also promises to go deep with this person, taking them to new heights of passion and intimacy.


The second stanza continues with the idea that the singer is going to incorporate themselves into every aspect of the person's life. They're going to make their bed beside them and slip into their river, which could be interpreted as forming an intense emotional bond physically and metaphorically. The reference to the bluebells of someone's soul could signify a deeper spiritual connection, and "linger in your shoals" consolidates this idea of committing to this person intensely. The rest of the song reiterates the singer's desire to make the person theirs and promises that they will make them theirs on another side of time where the love is high.
