300 days in... I can hardly believe it. Anyway, I was supposed to blog about this song ages ago, but I forgot. Yet, when Pandora brought it back to my remembrance this morning, I knew I had to do it today.
"Now what we came here to do, it means more to me than just a night that we share. So make sure that you're prepared, baby, and know that love is not just something to do. It's the moment that transcends our physical into a more spiritual level of understanding." The singer appears to have an attraction to and connection with someone, and they have come together to share space. He wants this time to be more than a one-night stand. He even goes so far as to say that love isn't just something to do - it's not a space filler or something to occupy time because they have needs or they have nothing better to do. For him, it's a serious endeavor that goes beyond sexual contact and touches the spiritual beings of two people who desire to connect in a meaningful way.
"And who knows? Somehow this night just might lead us into a place where our emotions can grow if we let them go, cuz who knows what may happen if we act on our attractions and lose ourselves inside a world made for us and no one else? Hey girl, just let me love you." The chorus is beautiful to me. It essentially says that he's unsure of where things may go if they venture to take this step into deeper relationship, but it could lead to great places. It could lead to a space of expanded love and emotions as they set themselves free in a space of intimacy between the two of them. Either way, he just wants her to let him love her. He is asking her to open up, trusting him to care for her in this vulnerable space and to extend himself as well, being open with her so she is not being vulnerable by herself.
"Now ain't no need to be afraid cuz I'll be as gentle as it takes yo provide you with the right amount of pleasure and pain and I'll make sure that you feel alright, even if it takes me all night. Cuz the joy is all mine when I know you're satisfied, so let's keep giving all we got." For him, this is not just about getting his. He desires to make love to her, connecting to her and providing a caring, intimate experience that satisfies her body as well as her soul. And he is willing to take his time to make sure that things are right for her. Knowing that she receives what she needs will give him more satisfaction and joy than just getting his own pleasure, because he cares about her. He wants them both to give their all so that they can share in the full experience of love.
"Listen, now I can see it in your eyes
(I can handle whatever's on your mind) that you want to, baby, just as bad as I do, and girl I wanna give it to you. Now if you can just set aside your fears and just try to deal with what's going on with us right now." He can see that she is in the same place as he is, desiring to share in that intimate space of love and care. He is asking her to set aside her fears of being hurt and whatever else may be in the way and simply enjoy what is between them, receiving love as it has presented itself from them to embrace and share.
