Hold Me Now
Thompson Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pinned to my wall
An image of you and of me and we're laughing, we're loving it all
But look at our life now
All tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn
Oh, whoa
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start
You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here
Yeah, yeah, and go far away
But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be than with you here today
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
You ask if I love you
Well, what could I say?
You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play
So I'll sing you a new song
Please don't cry anymore
I'll even ask your forgiveness
Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Stay with me)
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Stay with me)
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Stay with me)
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Stay with me)
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa

I have a picture
I have a photograph displayed on my wall
Pinned to my wall
It is attached to my wall with a pin
An image of you and of me and we're laughing, we're loving it all
It is a snapshot of us at a happier time, when we were both happy and in love
But look at our life now
But now, in the present, our relationship is not as happy
All tattered and torn
It is in a state of disrepair or falling apart, just like our relationship
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn
We argue and fight with each other and take pleasure in making each other cry until the early morning hours
Oh, whoa
A cry of desperation or sadness
Warm my heart
Embrace me and make me feel loved and happy
Stay with me
Don't leave me, stay by my side
Let loving start
Let's start to love each other again
You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
You tell me that I am unrealistic and hopeful, but that we share these qualities
Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find
We both want to find an ideal world, but we acknowledge that it is unattainable
So perhaps I should leave here
Maybe I should go away from here, away from you
But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be than with you here today
But in reality, there is no place I want to be more than here with you right now
You ask if I love you
You inquire if I have love for you
Well, what could I say?
I don't know how to answer that question honestly
You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play
You already know that I love you, even though it feels like our relationship is just a game we are playing
So I'll sing you a new song
I will create a new expression of my feelings for you
Please don't cry anymore
I don't want you to be sad or upset anymore
I'll even ask your forgiveness
I am willing to apologize to you
Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for
I don't know what I did wrong that requires me to apologize, but I am still sorry
Hold me now, whoa
Embrace me tightly right now
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Hold me in your embrace filled with love
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Make my heart, that is cold and tired, feel warm and alive
(Stay with me)
Don't leave my side, stay by my side
(Let loving start)
Let's start to love each other again
Let loving start, whoa
Let's start to love each other again

I miss the 80s
@livenhfree
The 80s were the best. Transition days, MTV, overdrive, one after the other. Never to be heard or felt again.
@KeepCalmAndGrind
1983 was EPIC for music. These songs still rule today in 2024!!!
