Medicine
Take/Five Lyrics

The lyrics to Take/Five's song "Medicine" express a deep sense of gratitude and love for someone who has brought light and warmth into the singer's life. The song begins with a reflection on how the two individuals met, wondering why fate brought them together. Despite the inability to articulate their feelings in words, they express their affection by holding hands. The singer desires to always feel the embrace and warmth of their partner's presence, vowing not to let go. The line "You're medicine, with just a smile, everything in my life shines" indicates that the person they are describing is like medicine, bringing healing and joy to their life with just their smile. The presence of the loved one is enough to make even ordinary moments in the future cherished and precious. They call this person their "holy love," emphasizing the deep emotional connection they share.

In the following verse, the singer marvels at how much strength they find in the presence of their loved one. They confess that they could not have imagined this level of determination and resilience in their former self. The line "You're medicine, just by touching you, my chest throbs, innocent sweet heart" suggests that the touch of their loved one's hand is enough to make their heart race with joy and innocence. The singer believes they have become stronger, in part, because they are no longer alone. They affirm that their loved one is like medicine, giving them the strength to face any challenge.

The last verse reflects a change in perspective. The singer states that they now believe in things like coincidence and destiny, acknowledging that even intangible things can be trusted and believed in. The repetition of the phrase "You're medicine, with just a smile, everything in my life shines" reinforces the impact the loved one has on the singer's happiness and overall well-being. The song concludes with the affirmation that their loved one's presence makes even an ordinary future feel cherished, and they reiterate their "holy love" for them.
