I’m Yours
Jason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to be chill, but you′re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out, I′ll be givin' it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it′s again my turn
But I won′t hesitate, no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Hmm (hey, hey)
Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and, damn, you′re free
Look into your heart, and you'll find love, love, love, love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We′re just one big family
And it's our Godforsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
So I won′t hesitate, no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I′m yours
Do you, do, do, do you
But do you, do you, do, do
But do you want to come on?
Scooch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear
A-soon da-ba-ba-ba-ba-bum
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-whoa-whoa
Uh-huh, hmm
I′ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain′t no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won′t hesitate, no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and, damn, you′re free
Look into your heart, and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don′t, please don′t
There's no need to complicate
′Cause our time is short
This, oh, this, oh, this is our fate
I'm yours
Brr-ba-mmm, da-ba-mmm-day
T-du, du, t-du, du, t-du, du, du, du, du-du-du
Hmm-mm, oh, I′m yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Baby, do believe I′m yours
You best believe, you best believe I'm yours, hmm
"I'm Yours" is a song by American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, which was released as the first single from his third studio album, "We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things." The lyrics of the song are about inviting someone to be his partner in life and not hesitating to take that step.
The first verse begins with Jason Mraz admitting that he has fallen for someone, and it has affected him. He tries to play it cool, but his feelings are so intense that he feels like he's melting. He feels like he has lost his way but is now making an effort to get back on track. He then sings about not wasting any time and giving it his best shot. He also believes that nothing, not even divine intervention, can stop him from getting what he wants. He's determined to win or learn from any mistakes he makes.
The chorus emphasizes that he won't hesitate anymore and that he is ready to take the next step with the person he loves. He explains that there's no need to complicate things because they only have a short time on earth, and this is their fate. The second verse is about how he was caught up in vanity and self-doubt but has now realized that life is short. He advises listeners to let go of any attachments that might hold them back and to just go with the seasons. The song ends with Jason Mraz stating that he's ready to make himself vulnerable and that if the person he loves does the same, they'll both be free.
