Shivers
jmr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it okay, honest
Forget what I wanted
Are you really drawn in
And do you think of me often

Would you let me come in
Into your apartment
Heaven lady
American woman

I know, and I know, and I know
And I know that you hear me
And I know, and I know, and I know
And I know that you hear me

Said that you could take me higher
Said that you could take control of me
When they're (near maybe???) jealous with desire
With your whisper take ahold of me

Wishing for more but
I'm glad that I asked you
Is it just for the moment
It's what I'm scared to put past you

Want you more than the night and
Want you there in the morning
With pink lace to untie
You swore to me that you only wear for me

I know, and I know, and I know
And I know that you hear me
And I know, and I know, and I know
And I know that you hear me

Said that you could take me higher
Said that you could take control of me
When they're (near???) jealous with desire
With your whisper take ahold of me

Tell me all the things that you want of me
Tell me all the ways you'll get them from me
Tell me I've been stuck in the past
But that shit it won't last
'Cause you love me

Tell me all the things that you want of me
Tell me all the ways you'll get them from me
Tell me I've been stuck in the past
But that shit it won't last
'Cause you love me

Said that you could take me higher
Said that you could take control of me




When they're (near???) jealous with desire
With your whisper take ahold of me

Overall Meaning

In "Shivers" by jmr, the singer is asking their lover if they truly want to be with them, forgetting about what they initially wanted. They ask if their lover thinks of them often and if they are drawn in. The singer then asks to be let into their lover's apartment and references "heaven lady" and "American woman." The chorus of the song emphasizes the fact that the singer knows their lover can hear them and the possibility of being taken to a higher place. The second verse discusses the singer's fear of the moment being temporary and wanting their lover to be with them consistently, even in the morning when they can undo their pink lace. The second chorus is the same as the first, focusing on being taken higher and with their lover's whisper. The bridge includes the singer asking for their lover to tell them what they desire from them, how they will get it, and that their past doesn't matter because their lover loves them.

Amazing <3 love both versions.

@randomchick3167

Happy to see your EP is out! You're super talented. I've been a fan since I found you on Soundcloud a few years back. Personally, I like the older version a bit better because your falsetto and vocal control stood out more. But either way, I've got to go order Rituals :)
