All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot headed believer
I threw my hands in the air I said show me something
He said, if you dare come a little closer
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given
Round and around, and around, and around we go
Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me, now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Oh the reason I hold on
Oh 'cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light, it's hard to know which one of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay, stay
I want you to stay, oh
A cold sweat, hot headed believer
I threw my hands in the air I said show me something
He said, if you dare come a little closer
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given
Round and around, and around, and around we go
Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me, now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Oh the reason I hold on
Oh 'cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light, it's hard to know which one of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay, stay
I want you to stay, oh

"Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light, it's hard to know which one of us is caving"
Related to my life- he was the one that i was afraid would fall, he was the one who was hurt and needed help- i was supposed to be my emotionless decoy self, and he mine, yet my walls started to melt and along with mine, so did his. yet it's something we dont really talk about due to the fact this was never supposed to fix either of us. it was supposed to be simple, and fun. when things get complicated, its hard to have that talk with the other one, hoping that they might feel the same. its hard to tell someone like that, that you want them to stay. youre still confused my the idea yourself. caught off guard by this new found emotion.
"Making a baaby" Sort o song. please people i dong really know the the son is about. This is just a guess.
The other view is that you are involved with a lover outside of marriage and round and round you go because you never talk about what you want because it's forbidden. That person leaves and you miss the whole they filed from what you are missing and ask them to stay because you just need them there because you help each other.
when she says "the reason i hold on, 'cause i need this hole gone" she's saying she doesn't want to experience that empty feeling of being alone so she sticks with him.
All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot headed believer
From the moment we meant there was such an intense connection and throughout the years we were always drawn to each other- even through all the hurt, pain & disappointment. It was an unhealthy bond for us both and even though we both recognized that but it never prevented us from trying to be together.
I threw my hands in the air I said show me something
So many times I have yelled at him after he took his life and have screamed/begged/asked for a sign he is still around me and with us
He said, if you dare come a little closer
I feel like in spirit he is speaking to me
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me now you know
This was how our relationship went- and in his death I hope he can finally see how much I loved him and how much I needed him & wanted to make our relationship work, but sadly I will carry this emptiness with me for the rest of my life
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
I sometimes think I feel him around me and it feels like his soul embraces my body and overpowers with such intense emotions- I can’t help but wonder if it is him I am feeling and it can bring me back to such sweet memories that are so bittersweet & then I am reminded I will never see his smile, feel his touch, or hear his laugh…
It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given
Finally after his death he can see the truth in my intentions and sees the pain I am drowning in and how much his boys miss him & wants to make me realize by holding on to this pain it is preventing me from living my life and protecting our boys. Now that he is no longer here physically he now sees that life isn’t something you have the right to “take” – it’s actually given & he was wrong for taking his
Round and around, and around, and around we go
Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me, now you know
Now he finally sees what he lost sight of and hopes that I know that he made so many mistakes and hurt so many people who love him
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Oh the reason I hold on
Oh 'cause I need this hole gone
I feel like I hold on because the pain of the hole in my heart and I want to stop the pain and the emptiness
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
When we met (I was 18 & he was 21) he was so broken and lost, but I was the one who needed to be saved- saved from holding onto this pain and needed saved from thinking I could fix him and make him whole
'Cause when you never see the light, it's hard to know which one of us is caving
The first 2 years are something I wouldn’t trade for the world, the remaining years of our relationship was very toxic- yet we couldn’t imagine our life without one another and it seemed like my constant need to make things work kept preventing me from seeing the “light”- meaning that we needed to move on from each other & letting go would have been the best for both of us, but I still held on- even though we both were breaking and making it almost impossible for our hearts/souls to let go…
*This verse is exactly how I feel on the inside*
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay, stay
I want you to stay, oh
Even after his death, the pain, the violence, the sorrow- this verse still is still the very essence of how I still feel about him & always will…
I hope the pain will heal and you finally able to move on with your life, I wish you and your kids the best in life. cheers from Indonesia
"Not really sure how to feel about it"
"I want you to stay" she is obviously confused about how she feels and thus, says she wants him to stay when in reality...she doesn't want him around.
Hope you guys understand the song more now.
It seems that it is two sided because while she FEELS that she loves him and really wants it to work she KNOWS that it never will.
All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot headed believer
-It was intense the whole time
I threw my hands in the air I said show me something
He said, if you dare come a little closer
-She wants a real reason to stay and he wants to love her (physically and emotionally) to give her the answer.
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me now you know
-Over and over again they know that it is not going to work because it is always the same.
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
-Desperation to stay with the one that makes her feel the way she does.
It's not much of a life you're living
-There is something about him that is broken as she says later that maybe keeps him from being able to love her and she wants more (as she references earlier for him to show her a real reason to stay.)
It's not just something you take, it's given
-Love. It's not just something that you take it's supposed to be given back.
Oh the reason I hold on
Oh 'cause I need this hole gone
-Self explanatory and very heart wrenching that she knows she is only hurting herself by staying because she wants to fill the hole in her heart; her loneliness.
Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light, it's hard to know which one of us is caving
-He's broken in some way and is messed up. He can't treat her right because of this. At the same time she is living a life that is crazy and maybe held on to him to get away from it or for comfort maybe.
A lot of meaning here... don't know if I'm 100% right but from my experience it just basically is the definition of a toxic relationship.
Sorry all that i said there probably didnt make much sense but i really needed to vent after what happened recently. Thank you for caring if you read this.
