Jasmine Sagginario Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I be committed is the question in my head
All the issues in my life keep holdin' me back
Can I live up to the standard
It's so hard to do
But then you tell me take my hand
You'll help me make it through

You ask me child do u love me

And I say yeah yeah yeah
But will you just give up everything
And follow me yeah yeah yeah
We talk periodically, it should be everyday
Can imagine how it would be if I let you lead the way
Broken hearts, less scars, less roads that never have an end
So I'll throw away my pride let down
My guard lord hear I am ooh

When I just stop and think of all that you've done for me
How can I say anything but yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jasmine Sagginario's song, "Yeah," suggest a conflict between a desire to be committed to something or someone and the fear of obstacles that might impede that commitment. The singer wonders if they are capable of living up to a certain standard, something they consider very difficult. However, the singer has someone in their life who tells them to take their hand and that they will help them make it through.

The singer suggests that they do not talk as often as they should and imagines how their life would be if they let this person lead the way, implying that they might have less heartache and fewer scars. Finally, the singer reflects on all the things this person has done for them and concludes that they have no choice but to say "yeah" when asked if they love them.

Overall, the lyrics seem to be about the difficulty of committing to someone or something and the fear of being hurt or let down. However, the song also suggests that having someone who supports you and shows you love can help you overcome those obstacles and make the commitment easier.
