Trust You
Rob Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm always too busy, I don't need to stay up late
But I change my mind when I see your face
'Cause I trust you
Now it's on like Revlon, middle of the night
Gimme just a minute, man, I'm higher than a kite
And I can't come down, but I know I'll be all right
Because I trust you
When you say hey, come on
I know I really, really want to
I trust you
When I stay, I know I really ought to go
But then I trust you
I trust you
I trust you
When you say hey, come on
I know I will because I trust you
I trust you
I like to think that I am reasonable
But I can't tell you why I'm down on the floor
I check my hair, but I don't know what it's for
I know tomorrow that I'll trust you some more
When you say hey, come on
I know I really, really want to
I trust you
When I stay, I know I really ought to go
But then I trust you
I trust you
I trust you
When you say hey, come on
I know I will because I trust you
I trust you
I keep on making bad decisions 'cause I
I keep on drinking what you're giving 'cause I
I keep on making bad decisions 'cause I
I keep on drinking what you're giving 'cause I
When you say hey, come on
I know I really, really want to
I trust you
When I stay, I know I really ought to go
But then I trust you
I trust you
I trust you
When you say hey, come on
I know I will because I trust you
I trust you
I trust you
I trust you
(I trust you, man!)
The song "Trust You" by Rob Thomas is a tribute to his relationship with his wife, Marisol. In this song, Rob reflects on how he trusts Marisol completely, even when he doesn't always understand what he's doing or why he's doing it. The song has a carefree and upbeat tone, which seems to frame the idea of complete faith and trust in a partner as something positive and life-affirming.
At the start of the song, Rob starts out by talking about how busy he is and how he doesn't have time to party late into the night. But when he sees Marisol, he changes his mind, and it's "on like Revlon." He's high as a kite and can't come down, but he knows he'll be okay because he trusts her. Later on in the song, he admits that he's not always sure what's going on or what he's doing, but as long as Marisol is there, he trusts that everything will work out.
Overall, "Trust You" is a testament to the power of trust and faith in a relationship. It shows how trust can be a freeing and exhilarating experience, even when you don't always know what you're doing.

Same. for me as long as it is Rob Thomas music, it's good. Although, Rob admitted in this album he sort of lost his own idea mostly.
“What I realized at the end of ‘The Great Unknown’ — and this is no slight to the people that I worked with because they’re all obviously really talented people — but the things that I gravitated toward in that record (and) that I wish that I had held onto for another record were all the ones that I sat down and just wrote by myself, songs like ‘Heaven Help Me’ or songs like ‘The Great Unknown,’ or ‘Pieces,’ songs where I went back to the original well, which is my point of view,” Thomas said in a recent phone interview. “I realized that whatever it is that I’m supposed to do when I write music, it’s supposed to be my point of view and it’s not supposed to be somebody else’s idea of my point of view.” https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/09/16/why-rob-thomas-isnt-scared-about-whether-his-new-music-will-be-played-on-the-radio/
