Hold Me
Sophie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday I woke up and I saw you in a special light
In the dark I realized that you're someone who's hard to find

Now how can I tell you, trying to find a perfect way to tell
Lay your hands upon my soul, just hold me in your arms again

Just hold me
Hold me in your arms so tight don't let me go now
Hold me
Hold me to your heart tonight don't let me down
Just hold me





What's the use of freedom if I can't have you I wonder why
Locked inside the prison of your heart there's nothing else I'd like

Yesterday I woke up and I saw you in a special light
Upon awakening, I perceived you in a different, profound way


In the dark I realized that you're someone who's hard to find
In the darkness, I recognized that you're a rare and exceptional individual


Now how can I tell you, trying to find a perfect way to tell
How can I convey my thoughts to you in the most ideal manner?


Lay your hands upon my soul, just hold me in your arms again
Place your hands on my spirit, embrace me tenderly once more


Just hold me
Simply keep me near


Hold me in your arms so tight don't let me go now

Embrace me


Hold me to your heart tonight don't let me down
Cling me to your bosom tonight, don't disappoint me

Merely cradle me


What's the use of freedom if I can't have you I wonder why
Why would I want liberty if I cannot have you?


Locked inside the prison of your heart there's nothing else I'd like
I yearn to be confined within the confines of your heart, and nothing more
