Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
If I saw you now
Could I look in your eyes?
Do you think of me
Like I dream of you?
Do you wish you were here
Like I wish I was with you?
You've loved me before
Do you love me now?
Does love ever end
When two hearts have torn away?
Or does it go on
And beat strong anyway?
You've loved me before
Do you love me now?
Come back to me right now!
C'mon c'mon come back to me right now!
C'mon c'mon come back to me right now!
C'mon c'mon come on!
You've loved me before
Do you love me now?
You've loved me before
Do you love me now?
Could I look in your eyes?
Do you think of me
Like I dream of you?
Do you wish you were here
Like I wish I was with you?
You've loved me before
Do you love me now?
Does love ever end
When two hearts have torn away?
Or does it go on
And beat strong anyway?
You've loved me before
Do you love me now?
Come back to me right now!
C'mon c'mon come back to me right now!
C'mon c'mon come back to me right now!
C'mon c'mon come on!
You've loved me before
Do you love me now?
You've loved me before
Do you love me now?

the lagging drum beat in this kills me every time. kim deal's voice is PERFECT. christ, what a song.
I love this song. Breaking up/losing someone, wanting them back. Not really sure if the other person feels the same way.
This song is hot. Its pretty straight forward in meaning. This song is hot.
This song is so good. See the movie 'May', it features this song among other Breeders works. Yay.
Beautiful.
The movie May sucks ass. This song is the best thing about it.
She wrote this after she got divorced. I'm guessing it's about her ex-husband.
@Skor1 no, this is one of Kim and Kelly's songs from when they were in highschool. So it is one of the oldest Breeders original songs.<br /> <br /> There is a series of interviews Kelly did on YouTube where she talks about the breeders origins.
I really like 'Do You Love Me Now Jr.?' J.Mascis+Kim Deal=win
This song reminds me of high school and heartbreak and all the bad things you'll do to get someone back or do to try and forget about them. Love it, it just burns.
