Please Don't Go
Luke Hemmings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back to yesterday, safe tonight
I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head, but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow
With our lips locked
Yeah, you got me begging, begging
Baby, please don't go if I wake up tomorrow
Will you still be here?
I don't know if you feel the way I do
If you leave, I'm gonna find you
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby, please don't
Baby, please don't run away
From my bed and start another day
Stay instead
I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head, but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow
With our lips locked
Yeah, you got me begging, begging
Baby, please don't go if I wake up tomorrow
Will you still be here?
I don't know if you feel the way I do
If you leave, I'm gonna find you
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby, please don't
Baby, please don't run away, yeah
In Luke Hemmings's song "Please Don't Go," the lyrics depict a sense of urgency and desperation to hold onto a fleeting moment of love and happiness. The singer expresses a desire to escape from the harsh realities and lies of the present, wanting to return to a simpler and safer time, possibly symbolized by "yesterday." This longing for a better past sets the tone for the emotional plea that follows.
The repetition of the imagery of the sun creeping up like tick-tock signals the passing of time and the fear of losing the person the singer is addressing. The lyrics convey a struggle to keep the person in their thoughts and to hold onto the connection they share. The idea of running from tomorrow with lips locked suggests a desire to avoid facing an uncertain future, choosing instead to remain in the present moment of intimacy and affection.
The repeated refrain of "Baby, please don't go" emphasizes the singer's intense fear of being abandoned and left alone. The uncertainty of whether the person will still be present in the morning reflects the singer's vulnerability and insecurity in the relationship. The persistent pleading and begging in the lyrics reveal a deep emotional attachment and fear of losing the person who holds their heart.
Ultimately, the song captures the raw emotions of love, fear of abandonment, and the desperate plea for the person to stay and not leave. The imagery of running away from reality and wanting to stay in a moment of connection and intimacy adds depth to the lyrics, painting a poignant picture of a love that is fragile and on the brink of slipping away.
