With You
The Moments Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seemed too unreal to me to ever be quite true,
And all those singer's love songs that went by me then,
They have no meaning when I hear them now with you
And all I want to do is sing about you
And give your days the sunshine you give mine
With you, loving you is easier than breathing
And those books of poetry would always leave me cold
They were so much too bold for me to understand
But now you read them to me by the fireside
They warm me deep inside and I hold your hand
And All I want to do is sing about you
And give your days the sunshine you give mine
With you, loving you is easier than breathing
With you, I'll never sing another song about leaving
It someone would have told me, that I would be behaving like I am
I would have left them far away, but that was yesterday
But here I am
With you, loving you is easier than breathing
Honey with you, I'll never sing another song about leaving
I'll never never sing, I'll never never sing,
Never never sing, another song about leaving
The Moments' song "With You" is a heartfelt declaration of love for someone who has changed the singer's worldview. The beginning of the song references how the singer used to view love and romance in a negative light, believing that movies and songs about love were too exaggerated to be true. However, the love they share with their partner is genuine and meaningful, leading the singer to want to sing about their love instead of dismissing it as unrealistic. The chorus repeats the sentiment that being with this person makes love easy and that the singer will never contemplate leaving them. They seem grateful to have found this person to share their life with and cherish the moments they spend together, such as reading poetry by a fireside.
The third stanza notes how the singer used to find poems too bold, but hearing their partner read them and feeling their warmth makes them appreciate the significance and beauty of poetry. The last verse acknowledges that the idea of loving someone so deeply and unconditionally might have seemed impossible to the singer in the past, but now it's a part of who they are, thanks to their significant other's influence. The song ends on a powerful note, declaring that the singer will never again sing about leaving because they have found their true love.
Line by Line Meaning
Those romantic movies never did appeal to me,
I was never a fan of mushy movies,
Seemed too unreal to me to ever be quite true,
They always seemed too fantastic to happen in real life
And all those singer's love songs that went by me then,
And even those romantic songs that I used to ignore back in the day,
They have no meaning when I hear them now with you
they make perfect sense now that I'm with you
And all I want to do is sing about you
I can't help but be inspired to write and sing about you
And give your days the sunshine you give mine
I want to give you the same positive, uplifting energy you give me
With you, loving you is easier than breathing
Loving you feels as natural and effortless as breathing
With you, I'll never sing another song about leaving
Being with you makes me feel content and happy, and I have no desire to leave
And those books of poetry would always leave me cold
I never felt moved by poetry before
They were so much too bold for me to understand
The language and subject matter were too intense and complicated for me
But now you read them to me by the fireside
But now that you're here with me, reading poetry by the fire is a beautiful, heartwarming experience
They warm me deep inside and I hold your hand
It makes me feel deeply connected to you, and I can't help but hold your hand
It someone would have told me, that I would be behaving like I am
If someone had told me I would act the way I am now,
I would have left them far away, but that was yesterday
I would have thought they were crazy, but that was before I met you
But here I am
But now, here I am, in love with you
Honey with you, I'll never sing another song about leaving
With you by my side, I have no reason or desire to sing sad songs about leaving
I'll never never sing, I'll never never sing,
I will never, never sing
Never never sing, another song about leaving
Another sad song about wanting to leave will never cross my mind or lips

on I Don't Want To Go
Lately I been Known
For making up excuses
And all too many times
Wondering what the use is now
Nothing like it used to be
When you and me
Were all I ever dreamed of
Dreams just don't come true
Just the way you planned them
And looking back in time
I still don't understand just how
The feeling comes and goes
And before I start to lie
I want you to know
[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did
Did we turn away
Just when we saw it coming
And could we have been saved
Or would we still
Be running scared
The space became so wide
That no matter how I tried
There was just no place to hide
Ohh Baby
[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did
Repeat 2x
[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I Just
(But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me)
I Just
(I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before)
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like
Just like before
