Come Undone
Urban Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waiting for you
Signed with a home tattoo
Happy birthday to you was created for you
Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces
Might take a little crime to come undone now
We'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry
Who do you need
Who do you love
When you come undone
Who do you need
Who do you love
When you come undone
Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune, I swear I've heard before, chill
Is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers
(Can't ever keep from falling apart at the seams)
(Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces)
Lost, in a snow filled sky
We'll make it alright to come undone now
We'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind and blow me in to cry
Who do you need
Who do you love
When you come undone (Can't ever keep from falling apart)
Who do you need
Who do you love
When you come undone (Can't ever keep from falling apart)
Who do you need
Who do you love
When you come undone (Can't ever keep from falling apart)
Who do you need
Who do you love
When you come undone
The opening lines of Urban Love's "Come Undone" paint a vivid picture of an idealistic dream, made up of breath and skin, waiting for the perfect person to share it with. This dream is marked by a home tattoo, signed with the words "Happy Birthday to you" as a symbol of celebration and dedication to the person it was created for. However, despite the beauty that lies within, the dream is fragile and subject to falling apart at any moment at the seams. The singer questions whether they can trust this person with their heart, knowing the potential heartbreak that may come with it.
The chorus of the song invites the listener to question who they need and love when they come undone, highlighting the vulnerability and uncertainty that exists when one's innermost self is exposed. However, at the same time, the song encourages listeners to embrace this vulnerability and stay "wilder than the wind" in order to experience the intense emotions that come with it.
