Overall Meaning

I heard
Heard from a friend of mine
You’ve been stumbling
Stumbling on them words that you’ve been trying to find
If it’s love that you’re looking to find
Then why are you wasting time
Boy, you know I’ll manage just fine
So you say you want my heart?
Well, baby you can have it all
There’s just something that I need from you
Is to hear you say
Is to hear you say
Is to hear you say that you
You love me all again
