Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And try to cover it now
I guess there is no point in being 'round
I′m holding onto my face
As we begin to embrace this
Rush of never-ending sound
I gave you love
I gave you love
But still it's so awkward
Exchanging lies for lies
Let's get hurt
Did you see the light
When you start to learn?
See eye to eye
Skin to skin,
Heart to heart
We will never be apart, no

He then challenges them to "let's get hurt," perhaps suggesting that they need to face their own fears and insecurities in order to move forward. Finally, the chorus offers a vision of unity and intimacy, with the artist declaring that they will "never be apart" when they see each other "eye to eye, skin to skin, heart to heart."

They say we’re beaten and down
People are talking about us being in a bad place
And try to cover it now
They're now trying to hide it
I guess there is no point in being 'round
So there's no point in us sticking around
I’m holding onto my face
I'm trying to keep it together
As we begin to embrace this
As we start to come together
Rush of never-ending sound
It's like a constant noise that surrounds us
I gave you love, gave you love
I showed you love, gave you all I had
I gave you love
But it still wasn't enough
I gave you love
I kept trying to make things work
But still it’s so awkward
But it's still uncomfortable between us
Exchanging lies for lies
We're just lying to each other
Let’s get hurt
We may as well let ourselves feel the pain
Did you see the light
Did you understand what was really going on?
When you start to learn?
When you began to see things differently?
See eye to eye
We need to be on the same page
Skin to skin,
We need to be close physically and emotionally
Heart to heart
We need to be honest and open with each other
We will never be apart, no
We should always be together
