Ward (guitar, production). The pair first met in 2006 for a movie soundtrack project for the film 'The Go-Getter' in which they recorded a version of Richard and Linda Thompson’s "When I Get To The Border”. Their first studio album, Volume One, was released in March of 2008 on Merge Records. Their second studio album, Volume Two, was released March 23, 2010, just over two years since the release of Volume One. Their third studio album, Volume 3, was released May 7, 2013.

According to Merge, at their initial studio session the two “were immediately struck by one another’s talents and found an instant rapport". During a conversation about their shared love of old records, Zooey let slip that she wrote her own songs, which she recorded alone at home on her computer. Somewhat shy about sharing these musical morsels, she was eventually persuaded to send them to M. Ward. He was instantly impressed, and they soon reconvened at his studio in Portland to begin work. Recorded over a period of several months, between acting work (She) and touring commitments (Him), the pair found time to bring Zooey’s fledgling songs to gorgeous fruition

Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me
She & Him Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They told me be sensible with your new love,
Don't be a fool, thinking this is the last you'll find.
But they never stood in the dark with you, love.
When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind.

Kiss me, kiss me, and when you do I know that you will
Miss me, miss me if you ever say I do
So kiss me, kiss me, make me tell you I'm in love with you.

They told me be sensible with your new love,
Don't be a fool, thinking this is the last you'll find.
But they never stood in the dark with you, love.
When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind.

Kiss me, kiss me, and when you do I know that you will
Miss me, miss me, if you ever say I do

So kiss me, kiss me, make me tell you I'm in love with you,
Make me tell you I'm in love with you.

The repeated refrain of "hold me, hold me, never let me go" reinforces the idea of security and trust, while the repeated "kiss me, kiss me" emphasizes the passion and desire between the two lovers.

The second verse of the song presents the conflict of the opinions of others versus the intense emotions of the singer. "They" advise the singer to be sensible with their new love, but this advice does not hold up when faced with the emotions that the partner brings. The phrase "they never stood in the dark with you, love" illustrates how the singer is not being foolish but is following their heart's desires. By the end of the song, the singer has surrendered to the intensity of their emotions and is willing to declare their love for their partner.

Overall, the song is a reminder of the intensity of love and the struggle to balance rationality with passion. It is a romantic and wistful song that speaks to audiences of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences.

Line by Line Meaning

Hold me, hold me, never let me go
I desire to be in your embrace for an indefinite period of time

Until you told me, told me what I want to know
I will cling to you until you reveal your feelings towards me

And then just hold me, hold me
If you feel the same, I want you to embrace me back

Make me tell you I'm in love with you
I want to express my love and affection for you

Thrill me, thrill me, walk me down the lane
Take me out on a romantic stroll and excite me in your own way

Wish I will be, will be, hiding others just the same
I hope that you feel the same way as me and want to keep our love a secret from others

As we'll be, we'll be when you make me tell you I love you.
Once we declare our love for each other, we can be who we truly are

They told me be sensible with your new love,
Others have advised me to be cautious with you

Don't be a fool, thinking this is the last you'll find.
They warn me not to get attached thinking that you're my only option

But they never stood in the dark with you, love.
But they don't know you like I do or the intimacy we share

When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind.
When we're intimate, my thoughts are consumed by you and nothing else matters

Kiss me, kiss me, and when you do I know that you will
I long for a kiss from you and I'm certain it will be magical

Miss me, miss me if you ever say I do
If we get married, I hope you still long for me like the first day we met

So kiss me, kiss me, make me tell you I'm in love with you.
I want you to kiss me until I confess my deep love for you

Make me tell you I'm in love with you.
I'm ready to declare my boundless love for you

Hold me, hold me, never let me go
Until you told me, told me what I want to know And then just hold me, hold me,
Make me tell you I'm in love with you.
Thrill me, thrill me, walk me down the lane
Wish I will be, will be, hiding others just the same
As we'll be, we'll be when you make me tell you I love you.
They told me be sensible with your new love, Don't be fool, thinking this is the last you'll find. But they never stood in the dark with you, love. When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind.
Kiss me, kiss me, and when you do I know that you will
Miss me, miss me if you ever say I do
So kiss me, kiss me, make me tell you I'm in love with you.
They told me be sensible with your new love, Don't be fool, thinking this is the last you'll find. But they never stood in the dark with you, love. When you take me in your arms and drive me slowly out of my mind.

Miss me, miss me, if you ever say I do
So kiss me, kiss me, make me tell you I'm in love with you,
