Best Of Me
Jessie Farrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got away of holding me
But you never hold me back, oh yeah
You've got away of pushing me
But you never push me off track
I was looking for someone
Just as I am
[Chorus:]
I know someone who loves you
Sure as the stars need the night
I know someone who loves you
Darling when you see me
Do you notice
You've got the best of me
When we're alone you dance with me
No one else can move me like that
You say that you'd give me everything
But I would give everything back
I was looking for someone
Someone to love me
Just as I am
[Chorus]
Don't ask me to stay
If I'm in your way
When love at first sight
Keeps you up all night
You've got a way of seeing me, oh
Just as I am
[Chorus]
Yeah yeah yeah
Darling when you see me
Darling when you go
Darling when your with me
Darling don't you know
Darling when you wake-up
Darling when your home
Darling when you kiss me
Don't you ever go
Darling when your laughin'
Darling when you cry
Darling when your dreamin'
I'll be by your side
You've got the best of me
In Jessie Farrellâs song âBest Of Meâ, the lyrics revolve around a person who has found someone who loves them for who they are, flaws and all. The song is about that person who has given their everything to their partner and found a genuine love in return. The first verse indicates that the partner has a way of holding the singer without ever holding them back, and a way of pushing them without ever pushing them off track. This signifies a perfect balance in their relationship, where the partner gives the singer the right amount of support, but also allows them the freedom to grow.
The second verse continues the theme of the unconditional love the singer has found in their partner. When alone, they dance like nobody's watching, showing the comfort they find in each other's company. The lyrics also describe the partner's willingness to give everything to the singer, but the singer would give everything back to their partner because they mean everything to each other. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer has found someone who loves them just as they are, and that person will always be there for them.
In the bridge of the song, the lyrics suggest that while the relationship may face some challenges, the partner sees the singer for exactly who they are, and that love between them is strong enough to overcome any obstacles. The song ends with the singer declaring their devotion to their partner, vowing to always be there through good times and bad.

just became a new fan of this young lady's songs and by surprise when i heard her sing, and for a reason i can't explain other than there seems to be such a pure country girl to the voice. it just hits the right spot.. her self image and the obvious down home girl canadian sound just seems so real. am going to see her in a bar with friends next week where she's playing and am sure it will be a great night.
