Stay With Me
Jake Coco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I still need love ′cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?
Oh, won′t you stay with me?
′Cause you're all I need
This ain′t love, it's clear to seeBut darling, stay with me
Why am I so emotional?
No, it′s not a good look, gain some self-control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
The lyrics of Jake Coco's song Stay With Me address the defeatist, emotional mindset of someone who is bad at one-night stands and just wants to be loved. The singer of the song is desperate for company on this lonely night, and despite knowing that this connection won't turn into anything more, he asks his partner to stay with him anyway.
The opening line expresses the singer's self-awareness: he admits that he's not good at one-night stands, meaning that he's not content with brief, physical connections. He still craves deeper intimacy and emotional support "′cause I'm just a man." Unfortunately, things never seem to go according to plan in his love life, and he's begging his partner not to leave him.
In the second verse, the singer contemplates his own emotions and admits that his lack of self-control is unattractive. He's aware that this connection won't last, but he asks his partner to stay with him for just a little while so that he won't be alone. Though he acknowledges that this "ain't love," he still begs the person to stay.
