Medicine
Tom Speight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shooting holes in the things that I know You got tears and lies From
The corner of your eyes Run your hands down the back of my spine Be
My medicine When it's so hard to breathe Be my weekend When I'm
Tearing at the seams And even though the cut runs deep And I'm so
Hard to please Just a four letter word And I'm nothing without you
Ooh ooh You've got a smile on your face As you turn and walk away
Watch the night as it breaks into the day You've got so much to give
Medicine When it's so hard to breathe Be my weekend When I'm tearing
At the seams And even though the cut runs deep And I'm so hard to
Please Just a four letter word And I'm nothing without you If you
Ever stumble, if you ever fall Just hold on to me Be my medicine If
You ever stumble,
If you ever fall Just hold on to me Be my medicine (
If you ever stumble,
If you ever fall Just hold on to me) When it's so hard to breathe (
If you ever stumble,
If you ever fall Just hold on to me) Just a
Four letter word And I'm nothing without you Ooh
Tom Speight's song Medicine is a beautiful and romantic depiction of a relationship that endures through difficult times. The lyrics open with a description of the physical beauty of the singer's partner, with eyes that shine brighter than the stars and the ability to shoot holes in what he knows. However, the relationship is not without its struggles and the tears and lies that come from the corner of her eyes reveal the complications of their love. But despite this, the singer begs his partner to be his medicine, to help him through the tough times when it's hard to breathe and he feels himself tearing at the seams. He acknowledges the cut runs deep and he's not easy to please, but he expresses that he cannot live without her through the simple phrase "just a four letter word, and I'm nothing without you."
The singer recognizes the fears that his partner has and the hesitation she feels to give everything she has to offer. Despite this, he still begs her to be his medicine, to help him through the tough times. As she turns and walks away, the song becomes more optimistic and the singer encourages her to hold on to him if she ever stumbles or falls. The song leaves the listener with a sense of hope and the idea that no matter how difficult the relationship may be, the love between the two partners will endure.

Oooh ooh You've got eyes that shine Brighter than the stars
Your eyes are so bright and captivating, they shine brighter than anything in the sky
Shooting holes in the things that I know You got tears and lies From The corner of your eyes
You challenge and question everything I know, and you hide your true emotions behind tears and lies
Run your hands down the back of my spine Be My medicine When it's so hard to breathe

Just a four letter word And I'm nothing without you
The word love is so simple, but without you, it means everything to me and I am nothing
You've got a smile on your face As you turn and walk away Watch the night as it breaks into the day
Even as you leave, you're still so confident and carefree, and it's almost as if the world revolves around you
You've got so much to give But you're terrified to try There's no answer and reasoning why
You have so much potential and ability, but you're too scared to take risks, and there's no logical explanation for it
If you ever stumble, if you ever fall Just hold on to me Be my medicine
If you ever need someone to lean on or a shoulder to cry on, I'll be there for you and be the one to help you feel better
