Live With Me
Terry Callier & Paul Weller Lyrics

The lyrics to Terry Callier & Paul Weller's song "Live with Me" express a longing for the person they're addressing to come and live with them. The opening lines, "It don't matter, when you turn/Gonna Survive, you live and learn" seem to convey a message of reassurance to the other person, as if to say that no matter what happens, they'll be able to get through it. The lyrics go on to express the strong feelings of missing the other person - "I've been missing you./I've been thinking about you, baby./Almost makes me crazy" - and the desire to be with them in spite of any difficulties that might come up.

The lyrics also touch on the idea of living with the blues, which seems to be a reference to the difficult circumstances that the singers have faced in their lives. "Either way, Win or Lose,/When you're born into trouble,/You live the blues" suggests that the singers have had to overcome obstacles in their lives, but that they're willing to face whatever comes their way as long as they have the other person by their side. The song continues with a plea for the other person to believe in the sincerity of the singer's feelings: "I wrote you a letter, I tried to, make it clear/You just don't believe that i'm sincere."

Overall, the lyrics to "Live with Me" express a strong desire for closeness and connection, despite the difficulties that the singers have faced in their lives. The song seems to convey a sense of hopefulness, as if the singers believe that they can find happiness if they can just be with the person they're addressing.
