Rock Me
One Direction Lyrics

Do you remember summer '09
Asking if the listener remembers a particular summer

Wanna go back there every night
Expressing a desire to relive that summer on a nightly basis

Just can't lie it was the best time of my life
Admitting that the summer of '09 was the best time of the singer's life

Lying on the beach as the sun blew out
Describing a moment of relaxation on the beach as the sun set

Playing this guitar by the fire too loud
Recalling a memory of being boisterous around a campfire with a guitar

Oh my my they could never shut us down
Reflecting on a sense of invincibility in that moment

I used to think that I was better alone
Admitting to a past belief that being alone was preferable

Why did I ever want to let you go
Reflecting on a past decision to let go of someone

Under the moonlight as we stared at the sea
Describing a romantic moment spent under the moonlight by the ocean

The words you whispered I will always believe
Showing a deep trust and belief in the words spoken during that romantic moment

I want you to rock me, mmm, rock me, mmm, rock me, yeah
Expressing a desire to be cared for and comforted through physical affection

I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
Asking for someone to demonstrate their care through actions

Yeah we were together summer '09
Confirming that the memory being talked about involves being with someone during that summer

Wanna roll back like press and rewind
Expressing a desire to go back in time and relive the summer again

You were mine and we never said goodbye
Describing a past relationship and suggesting that it ended without a proper goodbye

R-O-C-K me again
Simply repeating a desire for physical affection

I want you to
Reiterating a desire for someone's care and comfort

Rock me, rock me, rock me, yeah
Continuing to express a desire for physical comfort

I want you to hit the pedal heavy metal show me you care
Repeating the request for someone to demonstrate their care through actions
