Give Me Love
Luke and Calum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I called your number about a hundred times
And I know, that you know that it's me
I sat and listened for hours and hours
When the world got you down on your knees

All that I wanna do is to hold you tight
Love you until you're back on your feet
But it's hard when I'm laying my heart in your hands

And you don't hand yours back to me

Just give me something
I don't need to know but you're giving nothing
I'll take anything at all
Just give me something
'Cause all that I need is you
And you're giving nothing
Just give me something

I left you flowers outside your door
I see them dyin and it's killing me
Feel like a man on a walking wire
'Cause every change you get you're pushing me

You can break every bone, I'm still standing here
Wait until you can finally see
You know all that we had, it was magic
Now tragically I'm begging you please

Just give me something
I don't need to know but you're giving nothing
I'll take anything at all
Just give me something
'Cause all that I need is you
And you're giving nothing
Just give me something
Just give me something
Oh, just give me something
Oh, just give me something

I don't know how many nights
I can sit here waiting for you to come home

Just give me something
I don't need to know but you're giving nothing
I'll take anything at all
Just give me something
'Cause all that I need is you
And you're giving nothing
Just give me something
And I don't need to know but you're giving nothing
I'll take anything at all
Just give me something
'Cause all that I need is you
And you're giving nothing
Just give me something

Just give me something

Oh, just give me something
Oh, just give me something

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Luke and Calum's song "Give Me Love" are about a person who is trying to hold onto a relationship that seems to be falling apart. The person has tried to reach out to their partner numerous times, but their partner is not reciprocating the same response. The first verse explains how the person has repeatedly called their partner's number but has not received a response. They have spent hours on the phone just listening to their partner, hoping to make them feel better. The person acknowledges that they want nothing more than to hold their partner tightly and to love them until they are back on their feet.

In the second verse, the person describes how they have left flowers outside their partner's door, hoping to show them how much they care. However, the flowers are dying and it is killing the person inside. The person feels like they are walking on a wire, scared that at any moment, their partner might end things. But the person believes that they can withstand anything, even a broken bone. They know that their love was magic, but now they are reduced to begging for their partner to give them something.

The chorus reinforces the idea of how the person wants their partner to give them something because they have given everything they have, but their partner is not willing to reciprocate. They don't need to know what it is but want something, anything at all. The lyrics express a feeling of desperation in the face of a failing relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

I called your number about a hundred times
I've been trying to get in touch with you so many times

And I know, that you know that it's me
I'm sure you recognize my number and know that it's me calling

I sat and listened for hours and hours
I've been patiently waiting on the phone, listening to everything you have to say

When the world got you down on your knees
When you're feeling helpless and everything seems to be going wrong

All that I wanna do is to hold you tight
My only desire is to comfort you by holding you close

Love you until you're back on your feet
I want to love and support you until you feel like yourself again

But it's hard when I'm laying my heart in your hands
It's difficult for me to be vulnerable and express my feelings when I'm not sure if you'll reciprocate

And you don't hand yours back to me
You're not opening up to me and sharing your own feelings

Just give me something
Anything that shows me you care, even if it's small

I left you flowers outside your door
I'm trying to show my love for you with a small gesture

I see them dyin and it's killing me
It hurts me to see something I gave you wither away

Feel like a man on a walking wire
I feel like I'm on edge, balancing between trying to keep you close and not overwhelming you

'Cause every change you get you're pushing me
Every opportunity you get, you're pushing me away

You can break every bone, I'm still standing here
No matter what you do, I'm still here for you, willing to fight for us

Wait until you can finally see
I hope one day you'll understand how much I love and care for you

You know all that we had, it was magic
We had something special between us that was undeniable

Now tragically I'm begging you please
It's heartbreaking how much I have to plead with you to open up and show me you still feel something

I don't know how many nights
I've lost track of how many nights I've stayed up waiting for you

I can sit here waiting for you to come home
I'll keep waiting and hoping you'll come back to me

Just give me something
A sign that you still care, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem

'Cause all that I need is you
You're all I want and need in my life

And you're giving nothing
You're not reciprocating my love and effort

Oh, just give me something
Please give me anything that shows you still care
