Need Your Love
Joshua Wicker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And be near your (?)
Did you have let me on
And you've burned these bridges
For far, far too long
Until every thing has died
And I can't run no more
I need, I need your love
Need, I need your love
Need, I need your love
I need, I need your love
I cannot say just what it is
The feeling in my chest
That keeps me like this
I wish I could just move on
But I've burned these bridges
For far, far too long
Until every thing has died
And I can't run no more
No, I cannot hide
I need, I need your love
Need, I need your love
Need, I need your love
I need, I need your love
Until every thing has died
Oh, I can't run no more
No, I cannot hide
I need, I need your love
Need, I need your love
Need, I need your love
Need, I need your love
Need, I need your love
I need, I need your love
In the song "Need Your Love" by Joshua Wicker, the singer is expressing his deep desire for someone's love that he cannot seem to escape from. He wants to stay near the person he loves, but it seems that this person has let him on and burned the bridges between them for far too long. Despite this, he cannot move on and escape his feelings. He has burned his own bridges and is left with no place to run or hide. The singer is very uncertain about his own feelings, stating that he cannot even say what it is that he feels. He is trapped in a cycle of wanting and needing love from someone who might not be willing to give it to him.
The repetition of the phrase "I need, I need your love" emphasizes the intensity of the singer's feelings towards the person he is addressing in the song. The lyrics seem to convey a sense of desperation and helplessness in the quest for love. The chorus is very effective in communicating the deeply felt emotions of the singer, with the repetition of the phrase "I need your love" creating a sense of urgency and desire.
Overall, the song speaks to the power and importance of love in our lives. Even when it seems like we have burned all our bridges and can't escape our own emotions, we still need love from those close to us. The singer's vulnerability and honesty is what makes the song so relatable to many.
