The Gufs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that matters
Do you understand
Your problem?
I've been weightless
Waiting for this
Let me be the one to help you
Oh claire
I see someone trying to hold on
To what they've become
And all I want to be
Is here
Right now
All you've wanted
Lost and needed
Will be waiting here
Beside you
Oh claire
I see someone wanting to hold on to
What they've become
And all I want to be
Is here
Right now
And everything to me
Is here
Right now
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
I'm drowning
Well I'm reaching out to you
The feeling you wanted
Is right there in front of you
And yesterdays promise
Don't mean anything to you today
When you keep drifting far away
All I want to be
All I want to be
All I want to be
All I want to be
All I want to be

The song begins with the singer acknowledging that Claire is what matters the most and that he understands she is struggling. He expresses his willingness to be there for her, to help her and to hold on to her.

The chorus carries with it the main message of the song as the singer declares that all he wants to be is here, right now, for Claire. He assures her that he can be whatever she has lost and needed, and what she desires is waiting beside her. The bridge is an emphatic declaration of the singer's willingness to reach out to Claire and being there for her despite her drifting far away.
