Love Who You Love
Rascal Flatts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should have stolen every moment
Now there's a page with not enough on it
Where we belong
I guess I'll never understand it
Why do we take it all for granted
Until it's gone
'Cause then it's gone
Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you
Love who you love

Give all ya' got like its your last day
Your heart and soul before it's too late
And pull 'em in
So close enough that they can feel it
With every single breath that you're breathin'
Breathe it in again and again

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you

Hold on, hold on
Love who you love
Say that you do
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Love who you love
With all that you have
And don't waste the time that flies so fast
Love who you love
And say that you do
Hold on as tight as they'll let you

(Love who you love)
Love who you love
(Love who you love)

Hold on, keep on holding on
Yeah, with every single breath you're breathing

Love who you love




Love who you love
Again and again and again and again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rascal Flatts' song, Love Who You Love, advocate for cherishing those we love and making the most of our time with them. The opening lines, "I should have stolen every moment / Now there's a page with not enough on it / Where we belong / I guess I'll never understand it," express regret for not making the most of the time spent with a loved one. It's a common feeling, to look back and wonder why we didn't appreciate someone while they were still with us. The chorus of the song reinforces the importance of holding onto those we love, living in the moment with them, and not taking them for granted. This idea is supported with the call to action, "Love who you love / With all that you have / And don't waste the time that flies so fast."


The second verse of the song, "Give all ya' got like its your last day / Your heart and soul before it's too late / And pull 'em in / So close enough that they can feel it," continues the theme of living for the moment, as well as the urgency to show love while we are still here. Life is short, and it's essential to make the most of the time we have with the people we love. The lyrics then go back to the chorus, reminding the listener to hold on to their loved ones as tightly as possible and never let go.
