Maroon 5 – Never Gonna Leave This Bed

My InterpretationThis song speaks of the emotional rollercoaster that individuals in a relationship experience and represents the desire to grow, first starting from his declaration of commitment.

He implies that she wants things this way and that way. She "pushes [him]", but he doesn't "have the strenght to resist" her. When he mentions how he can't "control" her, he means that she's stubborn and wants everything her way. She's not going to take no for an answer and she possibly throws tantrums when she can't get her way. She "hurt[s]" him when she tries and gets everything her way regardless. She also probably wants a lot of committment based on the fact that he's asking her to "trust [him]". He's reiterating to her that he'll "never walk away again". Her trust issues might stem from the fact that he either cheated [not likely] or he wanted to walk away from her due to her being too demanding as indicated by his lack of strength. He realized most likely that he took her for granted too and that he really loves her because she makes him happy. When he refers to the "bed", it means that sex wasn't just what he wanted. She won't wake up in the morning to find that the other side of the bed is empty. He won't leave like that. They experience a lot of problems because even she realizes that "it isn't working". He tells her "it isn't worth it" which ties with the idea that he took her for granted (therefore leading to his first departure), but he "stay[s] instead" because he knows that she's the one he wants now. He made the mistake of leaving her, but he must have came to the conclusion that she was what made him happy. He repeats, "take it, take it all, take all that i have" because he's showing that nothing means anything to him anymore if it meant losing her. He would give anything to remain with her. This seems like an issue in their relationship before. He probably didn't want to change or do something for her and her demands started to get too tiring, but their time apart showed him that none of those things or those changes that he opposed were good enough compared to her. He chooses her because she's his source of happiness.

I LOVE THIS SONG.

  I agree with you 100%. This song hits home to me and is EXACTLY what I am going through with my guy. I have pushed him. He has left. He gave me reasons to not trust him and he tried and tried to make it work but finally is depleted by my demands/and my constant accusations. After cheating he tried to make things work but I was still insecure in our relationship. Now we are spending time apart..but I know he will be back. We have an incredible relationship beyond what has come between us in the past, and I am ready to move on from that and trust him. I know how upset he is that I hurt him by saying he doesnt care or that I dont trust him..because he is always trying to show me that I can..
