Hold me
St. Lola & The Fields Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me

Sad and sweet, the tale of love
Just short of being just enough
To feel your fingertips
So much to lose for what we risk

Don't matter if it don't add up

Let's don't make guarantees
Or promises we have to keep
Let's let what will be will be

Hold me, hold me, hold me, baby tonight
This might be the last chance for one last kiss
(Hold me, hold me, hold me)
Hold me, hold me, hold me, baby tonight
This might be the last chance to feel like this
So hold me, hold me, hold me

If I don't see your face again
It wouldn't change a single thing I did
We both know what it takes
For you and me, and that's ok
'Cause we both lose and we both win

Let's don't make guarantees
Or promises we have to keep
Let's let what will be will be

Hold me, hold me, hold me, baby tonight
This might be the last chance for one last kiss
(Hold me, hold me, hold me)
Hold me, hold me, hold me, baby tonight
This might be the last chance to feel like this
So hold me, hold me, hold me
(Hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me)

Feels like waking up, then crashing to the ground
Feels like getting high, feels like coming down
As soon as it's your everything
That keeps you hanging on
That's when it slips away
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone

(Hold me, hold me, hold me)
Hold me, hold me, hold me, baby tonight
This might be the last chance for one last kiss
(Hold me, hold me, hold me)
Hold me, hold me, hold me, baby tonight
This might be the last chance to feel like this

So hold me, hold me, hold me
(Hold me, hold me, hold me)

Line by Line Meaning

Hold me, hold me, hold me
Asking to be held and comforted

Sad and sweet, the tale of love
The love story is beautiful yet tinged with sadness

Just short of being just enough
Their love falls just short of being complete

To feel your fingertips
Craving physical touch from the person they love

So much to lose for what we risk
The potential consequences of their actions are high

Don't matter if it don't add up
Their love may not make sense to others, but it's still worth it

Let's don't make guarantees
They don't want to make promises they can't keep

Or promises we have to keep
They want their love to be free of expectations and pressure

Let's let what will be will be
They want to let fate decide the outcome of their love story

This might be the last chance for one last kiss
Acknowledging the possibility that this could be their last moment together

This might be the last chance to feel like this
Realizing that this level of intimacy may not happen again

If I don't see your face again
The fear of losing the person they love

It wouldn't change a single thing I did
They have no regrets about how they've lived their life with this person

They both understand the risks and sacrifices involved in their love

For you and me, and that's ok
They accept the consequences of their choices and are at peace with them

'Cause we both lose and we both win
Both of them will experience pain and joy in their relationship

Feels like waking up, then crashing to the ground
Their love is a rollercoaster of emotions

Feels like getting high, feels like coming down
The highs and lows of their love are intense

As soon as it's your everything
When you invest everything in someone, they become your world

That keeps you hanging on
Their love is what keeps them going

That's when it slips away
Ironically, when you put everything into something, it's easy to lose it

It's gone, it's gone, it's gone
Accepting that their love may not last forever
