Never Gonna Leave This Bed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't have the strength to
Resist or control you
So take me down, take me down
You hurt me
But do I deserve this?
You make me so nervous
Wake you up
In the middle of the night to say
I will never walk away again
I'm never gonna leave this bed
So come here
And never leave this place
Perfection of your face
Slows me down, slows me down
So fall down
I need you to trust me
Go easy, don't rush me
Help me out, why don't you help me out?
Wake you up
In the middle of the night to say
I will never walk away again
I'm never gonna leave this bed
So you say go, it isn't workin'
And I say no, it isn't perfect
So I stay instead
I'm never gonna leave this bed
Take it, take it all, take all that I have
I'd give it all away just to get you back
And fake it, fake it, I'll take what I can get
Knocking so loud, can you hear me yet?
Try to stay awake, but you can't forget
Wake you up
In the middle of the night to say
I will never walk away again
I'm never gonna leave this bed
You say go, it isn't workin'
And I say no, it isn't perfect
So I stay instead
I'm never gonna leave this bed
Take it, take it all, take all that I have
Take it, take it all, take all that I have
Take it, take it all, take all that I have
Take it, take it all, take all that I have
Take it, take it all, take all that I have
Take it, take it all, take all that I have
Take it, take it all, take all that I have
The lyrics to "Never Gonna Leave This Bed" by Maroon 5 convey a feeling of overwhelming love and attachment to a significant other. The first verse describes the power this person has over the singer, admitting they don't have the strength to resist or control them. Despite being hurt by them, the singer questions if they deserve the pain they're feeling and pleads for comfort and reassurance with the line "Calm me down, calm me down." The chorus expresses the singer's devotion and promise to never leave this person's side.
In the second verse, the singer begs for trust and patience from their partner while struggling to stay awake and forget their love's aura. When the partner suggests breaking up isn't working, the singer objects, saying they would rather face the imperfections of their relationship than lose them. The bridge intensifies the desperation, with the singer promising to give everything they have to get their love back and admitting to faking it if they must just to be close to them.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of an all-consuming, stubborn love that isn't willing to let go even in the face of challenges. The singer is willing to go above and beyond for their partner and values their presence above all else.

First time he looked me in the eyes and told me “you know that I like you” and hold my hands, this song was playing in the background.
It has been 10 years and we still remember this song. It was meant to be.
