Love is all around
Peter Holsapple; R.E.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me and so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go
So if you really love me, come on and let it show

You know I love you I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

I see your face before me, as I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking of all the things we said
You gave a promise to me, and I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me in everything I do

You know I love you I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

It's written on the wind, it's everywhere I go




So if you really love me, come on and let it show
Come on and let it show

Overall Meaning

"Love Is All Around" is a song that speaks of the power of love and the impact it has on the singer's life. The opening lines, "I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes," convey the physical sensation that love brings. Love is not just an emotion, but a tangible feeling that can be sensed on one's entire body. The next line, "Love is all around me and so the feeling grows," indicates that love is scarce and precious, but it is present and available to those who seek it out. The chorus continues with the notion that love is all-consuming and that the singer is willing to give their all for their beloved, "You know I love you I always will, my mind's made up by the way that I feel, there's no beginning, there'll be no end, 'cause on my love you can depend."


The second verse brings forth the memories of a love that was promised by both parties. The line "I need someone beside me in everything I do" signifies that strong love is not just a feeling but an act of empowerment that derives from a partner who is always present and supportive. In conclusion, the song's lyrics reveal how the love of the singer's life has become an inherent part of their being, defining their identity and unfettering their spirit. The phrase "let it show" in the last line is an invitation for the loved one to express their feelings openly and not hold back.
