Give Me Anything
The Maine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're loving every second of attention.
I need to find just some way to get through
Or at least some way that I can mention.
I'm feeling you
You're feeling me
What exactly is holding us back?
Are you feeling me?
Just give me something
Give me, give anything
Oh it's you
And it's true
You're electric, I can't get over it
Oh it's you
And it's true
You're electric I can't get over it
You're running through my veins You feel like a freight train
I'm trying everything to keep my hands off of you
Just give me something
Please, just give me anything
Because I want you more than they do
And oh no
I think I lost myself in your deep blue eyes
And oh no
I think it's time we cut to the chase tonight.
Oh it's you
And it's true
You're electric, I can't get over it
Oh it's you
And it's true
You're electric I can't get over it
You're electric I can't get over it
You're electric I can't get over it
The lyrics to The Maine's song Give Me Anything are about the singer's desire for the attention of someone they are deeply attracted to. The singer acknowledges that there are other people vying for the attention of their crush, but they want to find a way to break through emotionally and connect with them. The lines "What exactly is holding us back?/Are you feeling me?/Just give me something/Give me, give anything" illustrate the singer's frustration with the lack of communication between them and their crush.
Throughout the song, the singer describes the intense physical attraction they feel towards their crush. The lines "You feel like a freight train/I'm trying everything to keep my hands off of you" suggest that the singer is struggling to control their desires, and they are finding it increasingly difficult to resist the pull of their crush.
The song's chorus, which repeats the line "Oh it's you/And it's true/You're electric, I can't get over it," reinforces the singer's obsession with their crush. The use of the word "electric" suggests that there is a powerful, almost magnetic energy between the two of them that the singer cannot resist.
Overall, the song is about the intense, all-consuming feelings that people experience when they are attracted to someone, and the struggle to communicate those feelings and connect with their crush.
