Show Me Love
J. Khobb Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a notebook on the table
You can take it to the store
So you won't forget the groceries anymore
There's a rifle in the cabinet that I used to fight a war
But to this day, I don't know what I wass fighting for
I'm fighting for

Will you show me love as we get older

And I'm falling at your feet
After thirty years of service and one to fit our need
Show me love as we grow colder
Let our love provide the heat
But our older bones are missing
But our heart's will never meet

There's a blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm
When I find you fast asleep at half past four
There's a record we keep turning that reminds us of our youth
But there's still nothing as beautiful as you

Will you show me love as we get older
And I'm falling at your feet
After thirty years of service and one to fit our need
Show me love as we grow colder
Let our love provide the heat
But our older bones are missing
But our heart's will never meet

As we grow colder
Love provide the heat
Older bones are missing
Heart's will never meet

Because your hand
Belongs in my hand
Belongs in your hand
Belongs with, with me

(Blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm
There's a record we keep turning that I used to turn you on)

Will you show me love as we get older
And I'm falling at your feet
After thirty years of service and one to fit our need
Show me love as we grow colder
Let our love provide the heat

But our older bones are missing
But our heart's will never meet

Overall Meaning

J. Khobb's "Show Me Love" is a poignant and heartfelt reflection on the perils of aging and the everlasting nature of true love. The song is filled with vivid imagery and poignant lyrics that paint a vivid picture of the singer's emotional state. The opening lines of the song indicate that there are various items that hold significance in the singer's life. The notebook on the table is symbolic of memory and forgetting. With age, forgetfulness can be a major challenge, but the notebook helps to mitigate such a problem. The rifle in the cabinet is especially symbolic of the singer's life as a soldier who has seen the horrors of war. Despite having fought for his country, he is unsure of what he was fighting for. This ambiguity is later contrasted with the certainty of his commitment to his lover.

The underlying motif of the song is the singer's plea for his lover to demonstrate love throughout their aging life. Aging has gradually taken its toll on their bodies as evidenced by the "older bones that are missing." In contrast, the fervency of their love remains evergreen. The singer implores his lover to "show me love as we grow colder" and "let our love provide the heat." The blanket on the sofa that he used to keep her warm is a symbol of his devotion. The turning of the record is also symbolic of the passage of time and the changing landscape of life. Yet, amidst these changes, the beauty of his lover remains constant: "there's still nothing as beautiful as you."
