Hold me
Odell Tom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've had a drink, you probably think my judgement isn't clear
And it's getting late now, we're a long way from our homes
Before you leave, before you grieve, there's one thing you should know
When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Oh, when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart
When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Suddenly I'm standing on a treetop up so high
And all the songs, and all the poems, suddenly they're right
And I'm dumbfounded by the breaths of your self control
But I don't care 'cause you're here, and you and I both know
When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Oh, when you hold me, yeah I'm picking out the stars
When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Oh, when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart beating
Oh, when you hold me, hold me in your arms
Hold me, I can feel your heart
Hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Hold me, yeah I can feel your heart
When you hold me, hold me in your arms
Oh, when you hold me, I can feel your heart
Oh, when you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Oh, when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart beating
In "Hold Me", Odell Tom sings about his feelings towards someone he cares about, despite the circumstances that surround them. He admits to being under the influence of alcohol and implies that it may have affected his judgement. Nevertheless, he feels a deep connection with this person and hopes they can understand the sincerity behind his words. As they embrace, he feels overwhelming emotions and describes himself as standing on a "treetop up so high", feeling as though everything in the world makes sense. He acknowledges that the person is in control of their own feelings, but he is just pleased to be near them and to feel their heart beat.
The recurring phrase "when you hold me in your arms" is the most notable aspect of the song, and it underscores the importance of physical connection and intimacy in human relationships. While it is not explicitly stated, the song implies that Odell Tom is looking to develop a romantic bond with his listener, but is hesitant to express it fully. The inclusion of the line "Before you leave, before you grieve, there's one thing you should know" suggests that the other person may not share the same feelings, but he still wants to make sure they are aware of his own.
The lyrics also showcase Odell Tom's talent for painting vivid images with words, and he manages to create a beautiful and romantic atmosphere without being overly sentimental. The song is a gentle and tender love ballad that is easy to listen to and showcases the artist's exceptional musicianship.

I shouldn't say it, but I'm starting to think I care
I have developed feelings for you, but I am hesitant to confess
I've had a drink, you probably think my judgement isn't clear
I fear that you may not take me seriously because I have been drinking
And it's getting late now, we're a long way from our homes
We are both far from home and should be cautious about our actions
Before you leave, before you grieve, there's one thing you should know
Before you go, I want to express how I feel so that I do not regret keeping it to myself
When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Being in your embrace is euphoric and comforting
Oh, when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart
I can sense your emotions through your physical touch
Suddenly I'm standing on a treetop up so high
I feel elated and euphoric in your presence
And all the songs, and all the poems, suddenly they're right
Everything I have heard or read about love suddenly makes sense to me
And I'm dumbfounded by the breaths of your self control
Your restraint and composure amaze me
But I don't care 'cause you're here, and you and I both know
Being with you is all that matters, and we share a mutual understanding
Oh, when you hold me, hold me in your arms
I want to be in your embrace
Hold me, I can feel your heart
Your heartbeat reassures me of your affection and presence
Hold me, when you hold me in your arms
I feel safe and secure when you hold me
Oh, when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart beating
Your heartbeat signifies the love and passion that we share

I shouldn't say it, but I'm starting to think I care
I've had a drink, you probably think my judgement is impaired
And it's getting late now, we're a long way from our homes
Before you leave, before you grieve, there's one thing you should know
When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Oh when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart
When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Oh when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart beating
Suddenly I'm standing on a treetop up so high
And all the songs, and all the poems, suddenly they're right
And I'm dumbfounded by the breadth of your self control
But I don't care 'cause you're here, and you and I both know
When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Oh when you hold me, yeah I'm picking out the stars
When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Oh when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart beating
Oh when you hold me, hold me in your arms
Hold me, I can feel your heart
Hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Hold me, yeah I can feel your heart
When you hold me, hold me in your arms
Oh when you hold me, I can feel your heart
Oh when you hold me, when you hold me in your arms
Oh when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart beating

No debería decirlo, pero empiezo a pensar que me preocupo
Tomé un trago, probablemente piensas que mi juicio está afectado
y se está haciendo tarde ahora, estamos lejos de nuestras casas
Antes de que te vayas, antes de que te aflijas, hay una cosa que deberías saber
Cuando tú me abrazas, me abrazas en tus brazos
Oh cuando me abrazas, puedo sentir tu corazón
(bis) puedo sentir tu corazón latiendo
De pronto estoy en la copa de un árbol, tan alto
y todas la canciones, y todos los poemas, de pronto son correctos
Y estoy estupefacto de la amplitud de tu auto-control
pero no me importa, porque estás aquí, y tu y yo los dos sabemos
Cuando me abrazas, me abrazas en tus brazos
cuando me abrazas, si, estoy cogiendo las estrellas
(cuando me abrazas puedo sentir tu corazón latiendo)
BIS

Tom is one of those singers who just don't sing for fame, for money or for something that just have to be recorded. Tom is that kind of singer who sings with passion and emotion. And that's undeniably beautiful. Love his songs!
