Volbeat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something
Oh can't you see
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true
I only want to be with you
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something
Oh can't you see
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me
And asked me if I cared to dance
I fell into open arms
And I didn't stand a chance
Now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together honey I don't care
'Cause you started something
Oh can't you see
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
The lyrics to Volbeat's song I Only Wanna Be With You convey the singer's overpowering love for someone. The song is about a person who is deeply in love with someone to the point where they cannot explain why they feel that way. They have a strong emotional connection with their partner, and they never want to let them go. The singer admits that they don't understand what it is that makes them love their partner so much, but they know that they only want to be with them. At every moment of the day, they want to be with the one they love, and they believe that their relationship began with just one kiss. Even though these feelings are crazy, the singer knows that they are true.
The second verse talks about the moment that the couple met. The person they love stopped and smiled at them and asked them if they wanted to dance. From that moment on, the singer fell into their partner's open arms and didn't stand a chance. In the middle eight, the singer confesses that they want to be beside their partner everywhere and doesn't care as long as they are together. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that no matter what their partner does, the singer only wants to be with them.
Overall, the song conveys a deep love that cannot be easily explained. The singer feels like their partner has a hold on them, and they never want to let them go. The connection between the two individuals is so strong that the lyrics suggest that it's almost as if it was predestined to be.
