Lose You
Olympic Ayres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
oooooohhhhhh
Relax yourself
and lose your mind
Lets just keep on going
Never look behind
and if you feel the same
then come with me and if the sun don't shine
We can take a trip tommorow
To a different view
And all the life
(She saw me lose)
(Don't make enough)
Record to find
Record like mine
And I cannot afford to lose you
OOOOHHHHH
Now its getting late
Its just the two of us
Can we find a place before it turns to dust
Yea the sun will shine
Inside of you
To take tommorrow to a different view
and all the love
(To take it up)
(The more we love)
(To make enough)
(I saw like mine)
And I cannot afford to lose you
ooooohhhh
oooooohhhhhhh
In this moment
I will love those
In this moment I will love flaws
All the love you save it up
The more we love
And I cannot afford to lose you
(If I hurt you I'm sorry)
(Lets write a new story)
(If I hurt I'm sorry)
(Lets write a new story)
(If I hurt you I'm sorry)
UUUUOOOOOHHH
The lyrics of Olympic Ayres's song "Lose You" seem to be about living in the moment and not worrying about the future or the past. The song tells the listener to relax and lose their mind, and to keep moving forward without ever looking back. The singer encourages the listener to join them on a journey to a different view of life, where they can forget about the difficulties of the present and enjoy the moment with someone they love.
The chorus repeats the phrase "And I cannot afford to lose you", which emphasizes the importance of the person they are singing to, and the fear of losing them. The bridge mentions flaws and apologizes for any hurting that may have been done, but ends on a positive note with the suggestion to write a new story.
Overall, the song seems to be a message of escapism and the importance of seizing the moment with loved ones while also acknowledging the challenges of life.
