Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your all that I need in my life
Cause sometimes it hard to see when these lights are so blinding
But I know with you I'm alright
Honestly
Honestly yea
I need you to talk to me
Talk to me

I know who I want to choose
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
And I know who I will run too
And it's always you
Always you
And I will always be ok
When I'm next to you

The lyrics to Jordan May's song Honestly speak of the struggles that come with the journey of life, the difficulties that abound with pursuing one's dreams, and the need for someone to stand by one's side and offer support and love. The song talks about the challenges of being in the spotlight and how it can be difficult to maintain one's focus when the glare of lights is so blinding. The singer yearns for love and support and pleads with his lover to remind him that he is loved, that he is all that they need in their life, because sometimes it's hard to see.
The chorus of the song repeats, emphasizing that the singer needs his lover to talk to him, honestly. The singer acknowledges that his lover is the one he wants to choose, the one he is in love with, the one he will always run to. He feels safe and okay when he is next to them. He speaks of feeling unworthy of the love his lover showers on him and hence keeps seeking their honesty. The bridge of the song tells of the singer's desire for his lover to change him, imbue him with more patience, and to replace the emptiness in his heart with their love.
Overall, Honestly is a declamation of a deep-seated need for love and support that lies within all of us as human beings. It is a reminder that sometimes we all need someone we can count on, someone to talk to and someone who can help us through difficult times. The song is an ode to the power of honesty, love, and support in our lives.
