Find You
Tina Boonstra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my heart I see yes, in the day I see no
I don't want you like I want to
You know, you know I'll say you are the road
That I'm taking this time, I will go where you go
Till I leave you, like I still do
But it always comes back to the same place
When I find you, I find I would doubt you
There's nothing to find here at all
I need you so much more than I thought
I can't explain why I do what I do
Clench my fist, drown my plans
As I let go of you, it's the same thing
Over and over again
But it always comes back to the same place
Shut the curtains and fall to the floor
When I find you, I find I would doubt you
There's nothing to find here at all
I need you so much more than I thought
I need you so much more than I thought
When I find you, I find I would doubt you
There's nothing to find here at all
I need you so much more than I thought
In “Find You” By Tina Boonstra, the song revolves around the theme of faith, and the struggle to hold onto it. The song starts off with the acknowledgement that progress is slow, and sometimes it's hard to see the yes in the day-to-day events. Tina then portrays the desire to have God in her life, but at the same time not wanting him because it would change everything. She finds herself in a predicament with her faith where she's leaving, but still holding on at the same time. This is expressed with the lyrics “Till I leave you, like I still do.”
The chorus of the song describes the constant circle of trying to be faithful, but yet doubting too, and the emotional toll it takes. Tina confesses, “When I find you, I find I would doubt you, there's nothing to find here at all, I need you so much more than I thought.” The song captures the fear that comes with questioning if one's faith is strong enough, or if they will find themselves falling away.
Tina's unique ability to convey so much emotion through her lyrics is what makes “Find You” such a standout song. Her music is a perfect embodiment of our human struggles with faith, and her raw vulnerability in her music is both refreshing and relatable.
Line by Line Meaning
I know, I know that my progress is slow
I am aware that my growth and development is gradual
In my heart I see yes, in the day I see no
My emotions and feelings are positive, but the reality is quite different
I don't want you like I want to
I yearn for you and your presence desperately
You know, you know I'll say you are the road
You are my guide and compass, leading me through life's journey
That I'm taking this time, I will go where you go
I will follow you and your lead, wherever you may go
Till I leave you, like I still do
Until I ultimately depart from your side, like I have in the past
But it always comes back to the same place
I inevitably end up in the same emotional state
Shut the curtains and fall to the floor
I shut out the rest of the world and collapse from emotional exhaustion
When I find you, I find I would doubt you
Upon rediscovering your presence, I experience fear and uncertainty
There's nothing to find here at all
There is no object or answer to my search
I need you so much more than I thought
Revelation hits me that I require your presence in my life more than previously realized
I can't explain why I do what I do
I am unable to articulate why I engage in the actions that I do
Clench my fist, drown my plans
I hold onto my determination while smashing my goals and strategies
As I let go of you, it's the same thing
As I attempt to release and move on from you, the cycle repeats itself
Over and over again
This pattern reoccurs persistently
