Will you be there
Hittman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I call your name but you're not quite there
You feel the same, who said life was fair
Turn the words around, shattered heart burns inside you

Locked in my dreams it's all I've learned
And from what I've seen it's got to be real
That's when my feelings start to spill

I gave my love, I tried before
To fight those tears, I can't wait anymore

Will you be there, will you be there
It started again, all the love and the time I've spent
It's over and then, you come on strong
Until I give in

It hurts sometimes, I cried before
To fight those tears, I won't wait anymore

Will you be there, oh, to share, my love...
It hurts sometimes, I cried before
To fight those tears, I can't wait anymore

Will you be there, will you be there, will you be there
To share my love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hittman's song "Will You Be There" depict someone desperately reaching out to a love interest who seems distant and unresponsive. The opening lines reveal that the singer is trying to get in touch with this person, but they "aren't quite there." Despite their efforts, the other person continues to feel the same way and the singer realizes that life isn't always fair. The following lines suggest that the singer has been hurt before, and that their heart is shattered. They've been "locked in a dream" and feel like this love has to be real because of what they've experienced. It's almost like they've been through this before and their feelings are about to overflow.

The chorus is the singer's plea for this person to be there for them, to share their love. They've given this person their love before and tried to fight back tears, but they can't wait anymore. The second verse follows a similar pattern, with the singer acknowledging that hurting is something that happens sometimes, but they can't wait any longer to find out if the other person will be there for them. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's earnestness and vulnerability, and the song ends with a plea for this person to share their love.

Overall, the lyrics to "Will You Be There" capture the desperation and pain that often accompany the pursuit of love. The singer is laying it all out there, hoping that this person will reciprocate their feelings and be there for them. It's a vulnerable and honest portrayal of what it feels like to be in love and not sure if the other person feels the same way.
