Tell Me That You Love Me
Nazareth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though I'm far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
Well, I'm not new to this
Held on before when I should have let go
The mistakes that you make
I just wanna know
Am I moving in or heading for the coast
She said:
Tell me that you love me
Even though you're far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
I don't know what to do
I'm all dressed up no place to go
Sailing against the wind, can't figure it out
Which way it will blow
Show me now
I'm lost at sea I'm sinking below
Help me now
Tell me, tell me
Tell me that you love me
Even though you're far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day.

Line by Line Meaning
Tell me that you love me
Express your feelings of love towards me
Even though I'm far away
Despite the distance between us
Tell me that you need me
Confess your dependency on me
Help me through another day
Assist me to get through this day
Well, I'm not new to this
I have experienced this before
Held on before when I should have let go
I persevered in a situation when I should have given up
The mistakes that you make
Your errors and wrongdoings
Keep comin' round like a family ghost
They haunt you persistently just like a family ghost would
I just wanna know
I am seeking clarity
Am I moving in or heading for the coast
Am I making progress or am I going backwards?
She said:
She replied
I don't know what to do
I am unsure of what actions to take
I'm all dressed up no place to go
I am prepared for an activity, but there's no opportunity to do it
Sailing against the wind, can't figure it out
Encountering difficulties, and not finding the answers
Which way it will blow
What the outcome may be
Show me now
Demonstrate it for me
I'm lost at sea I'm sinking below
I am overwhelmed and helpless
Tell me, tell me
Interpret it for me, explain it to me
