Description

An utterly emotion-filled track to fit the movie’s storyline of young lovers that just so happen to both have health issues of their own. The film, 'The Fault In Our Stars', is based on the novel of the same name by John Green. a musical rollercoaster that can easily be compared to the daily struggles that pretty much anyone goes through – in this case, being an adolescent living with a terminal illness.  See more here.

Transcript

Gimme, gimme that love, I'll be waitin' for ya'
Catch my hand, I'll be fightin' for ya'


Let me in, yeah, let me get closer
Got me runnin' wild like I feel it all over
Catch my hand, I'll be fightin' for ya'
All this time been trippin' and slippin' around
You got me, now I'm swimmin', swimmin' in clouds

Gimme, gimme that love, I'll be waitin' for ya'
Catch my hand, I'll be fightin' for ya'

And I'm findin' out that all I know is right at home
But I'm tellin' the man my plan to never feel alone
Let me in, yeah, let me get closer
Got my hands high like I ride a roller coaster
Cannot be it, cannot be lonely
Lookin' like you're lovin', you're livin' the moment
Got me, now I'm swimmin', swimmin' in clouds

Gimme, gimme that love, I'll be waitin' for ya'
Catch my hand, I'll be fightin' for ya'

Holdin' my breath till there's nothin' left
Hold your breath, now there's nothin' left
Gimme that love, I'll be waitin' for ya'

Now I'm findin' out that all I know is right at home
So I'm tellin' the man my plan to never feel alone

Gimme, gimme that love, I'll be waitin' for ya'
And catch my hand, I'll be fightin' for ya'

Holdin' my breath till there's nothing left
Hold your breath, now there's nothing left
Gimme that love, I'll be waitin for ya'

(Ooh, yuppity, yuppity, yup)

Explanations

GIMME= /'gɪmɪ/ (coll.) Give me.


WAITIN' FOR YA'= (coll.) Waiting for you.


CATCH MY HAND= Grasp or hold my hand firmly; take my hand.


FIGHTIN' FOR YA'= (coll.) Fighting for you.


LET ME IN= Allow me to enter.


LET ME GET CLOSER= Let me move nearer or be physically nearer.


RUNIN' WILD= (figurative) Get out of control.


I FEEL IT ALL OVER= I feel it intensely, everywhere in me, with all my body, with all my soul.


BEEN TRIPPIN' AND SLIPPIN' AROUND= I've been lost all the time. To trip is to stumble and maybe fall, to slip is the same idea but sliding. "Around" often means "everywhere".


YOU GOT ME= I'm totally in love with you, I can't escape.


FINDIN' OUT= Discovering.


THE MAN= The boss, the person in charge (probably God in this case).


I RIDE A ROLLER COASTER= Roller coaster journey. Also, you can say an experience is a roller coaster, or a roller-coaster ride, if it involves many emotional highs and lows, or really good times alternating with really difficult times. See picture of a roller coaster.


LIVIN' THE MOMENT= Not thinking of the past or the future, but concentrating on the present moment.


HOLDIN' MY BREATH= Waiting for something that you expect to be very intense, either in a good or a bad sense. Literally: to stop breathing for a short period.


YUPPITY= Yup, yes. Also an almost childish expression of joy and cheerfulness.

Meaning

It's the definition of what unconditional love should look like whether it be between significant others, parents, siblings or friends. Its lyrics have the ability to reach out to the hearts of anyone who hears it.


While there are some people that say that the best way to show love is by letting the person go, “Let Me In” tells you the opposite: giving up is not an option. This song hits home for anyone that feels like they’re afraid of moving forward with someone whether in a romantic way or not.
