Need To Know
keana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought I'd find someone to ease my pain
Never knew that love would come my way
Until you... you came
What you gave was so much more
Than I had prayed for
Then suddenly I had to change.
Left to wonder about what might have
Could have been
A fairy tale of love
This is what I'm searching for
I need a love that stands the time
A love that can last come rain or shine
A love that's just for me
This is the way that love
Should be
{do you believe in love? }
Have you ever felt like
Like you was standing in the midst of everything
But when you just surrounded by nothing
That's how I... I feel {oooh}
When I think of all the trust I put in you
{ooh baby}
Thought my feelings meant the world to you
So now I'm here
Left to wonder about what might have
Could have been
A fairy tale of love
This is what I'm searching for
I need a love that fills the moon
A love that can make the flowers bloom
I tried
You don't have to make believe
Your love is all I need {oooh oooooohh}
I need a love that fills the moon
A love that can make the flowers bloom {make the flowers bloom}
I need a love that's just for me
This is the way that love should be
I need a love that stands the time {yeaaaa}
{a love that can stand the test of time, love that will last come rain or shine}
I need a love that's just for me
Ooh baby promise me
Promise you'll love me
Love me forever
I want you to stay
Let's stay together
Whatever comes our way
We'll fight it
That's the way love should be
The lyrics of Keana's song "Need to Know" express the longing for a love that is enduring and always present. The singer admits to having been skeptical of finding this kind of love, but then discovered it unexpectedly in the person she addresses in the song. She acknowledges how much more than she had hoped for in a partner he has brought her and wants the love between them to stand the test of time, enduring all kinds of weather.
The second verse portrays her inner conflict and emotional struggle, which stem from feeling misled and let down by her lover. She expresses deep hurt and confusion at the sudden disparity between her feelings and his actions. Nonetheless, she's unwilling to give up on the love they share and is determined to fight for its survival.
In summary, the lyrics convey a message of hope, trust, and faith in the power of love. They communicate the idea that despite the unpredictability of life, love should endure and remain constant.
