I'm Yours Accoustic
Jason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to be chill but you're so hot I melted
I fell right through the cracks
And now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my best-est
Nothings going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
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 love love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
A la peaceful melodies
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love
[Chorus]
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
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 laughed
I guess what I'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
[Chorus]
Well no no, 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 come and dance with me
A la one big family (A la happy family)
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love
I won't hesitate no more
Oh no more no more no more
It's your God-forsaken right to be loved, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
[Chorus]
The first verse of “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz talks about a person being completely smitten by someone else. The singer has been done wrong by the other person, but they still love them. The second line, “I tried to be chill but you’re so hot I melted,” uses a metaphor to describe how the singer is not able to keep their cool around the other person. He compares her to fire, which can cause things to melt. Further on, he says he has fallen through the cracks and is now trying to get back. This can be interpreted that the singer has been rejected by the other person, and now they are trying to find a way to win them back. Lastly, the singer says, “Nothings going to stop me but divine intervention/I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some,” which means that he will do everything in his power to win their love, except if it's not meant to be, he's still okay to learn from the experience.
The song's chorus talks about the singer's impatience to win over the other person. He says that there is no more hesitation and no more waiting. He urges the other person to open their mind and see things from his perspective. He encourages them to be free and open in their plans and trust that they will find love. The singer believes that it is their God-given right to be loved and to enjoy life.
The second verse talks about the singer reflecting on his past and striving to be better. He says that he has been focusing on his outward appearance (checking his tongue in the mirror), but now he realizes that the only reason he needs for change is to improve himself. Later on, he emphasizes that it's essential to be happy in life and let go of vanity. The singer urges the other person to let go of their ego and just let themselves live.
Overall, the song is an excellent reminder that we should not take ourselves or others too seriously, let go of our egos to live life to the fullest, and love is the most important thing in life.

The most amazing thing about Jason is that this is probably the song that he had sung the most in his life, but every single fucking version impresses you in a different way.

Yep, especially his version of Sungha's arrangement.
