Hold Me Now

Thompson Twins

I have a picture
Pinned to my wall
An image of you and of me and we're laughing, we're loving it all
But look at our life now
All tattered and torn
We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears that we cry until dawn
Oh, whoa

Hold me now, whoa
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start

You say I'm a dreamer, we're two of a kind
Both of us searching for some perfect world we know we'll never find
So perhaps I should leave here
Yeah, yeah, and go far away
But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be than with you here today
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa

Hold me now, whoa
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
Warm my heart
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa

You ask if I love you
Well, what could I say?
You know that I do and that this is just one of those games that we play
So I'll sing you a new song
Please don't cry anymore
I'll even ask your forgiveness
Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa

Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Stay with me)
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Stay with me)
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Stay with me)
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa
Hold me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Warm my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Stay with me
(Stay with me)
Let loving start
Let loving start, whoa

    General CommentThis is one of my favourite songs. The first time I heard it, was in 50 first dates and it was a remake and I completely fell in love with it because there was a time in my life when I could completely relate to it.

    I think this song is about a relationship that seems to be coming to an end and the person singing is reminiscing ("i have a picture, pinned to my wall, an image of you and of me and we're laughing and loving it all..") about all the good times they had together and now all they're doing is fighting over silly things ("you ask if I love you, well what can i say, you know that i do and that this is just one of those games that we play...") and he's wishing that they could fix the relationship ("Hold me now, warm my heart, stay with me, let loving start...")

    Beautiful, sad, song.

    General CommentI absolutely love "Hold Me Now" and Thompson Twins are one of my favourite 80s bands...

    redroses237, I think your meaning of the song hit the nail right on the head -- it sounds just right...and also reminds me of what it was like towards the end of a relationship I had ages ago 'cos in the beginning, everything was perfect and whatnot and then it started to unravel...
