Look After You Lyrics

If I don't say this now I will surely break
As I'm leaving the one I want to take
Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait
My heart has started to separate

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh, oh
I'll look after you

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go
Will you won't you, be the one I always know
When I'm losing my control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh, oh
I'll look after you

If ever there was a doubt
My love she leans into me
This most assuredly counts
She says most assuredly

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Be my baby
I'll look after you

It's always have and never hold
You've begun to feel like home
What's mine is yours to leave or take
What's mine is yours to make your own

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Be my baby
Oh, oh, oh

my sister recently saw them in concert (lucky her) and she told me how a guy and a girl was gonna go to that concert for the girl's birthday, but then the guy got sent to iraq so he wrote a letter to The Fray explaining his situation, so before they were gonna play this song, they pulled out his letter and read it to the crowd, and then called the girl down to the front and sang the song to her. that's so cool!

That is so incredibly sweet. I have a soft spot for any military/deployment story.

'forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait' how clever is that!? contradiction of terms but it makes sense.. sort of saying; don't let me rush you but please don't take your time.. it's gorgeous..

Musicians are always on the road. The author wonders how long his girlfriend will stick around, because of the demands of his career...("So few come and don't go.") He wants something he can come home to, something constant and comforting (When I'm losing my control, the city spins around. You're the only one who knows, you slow it down.) Someone who will always be there for him. ("Will you won't you, be the one I always know.")

He is asking her to be patient. ("Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait.") He's asking her to be with him, and he'll take care of her and love her no matter what. "You've begun to feel like home." How beautiful is that.

This was the first love song that Isaac ever wrote. This is a great song to hear live because he gets everyone into it by having the crowd sing the Oh, Oh, Oh part.

This is the song I want played at my wedding. Its just so beautiful, melody and lyrics, whats not to love?

"So few come and don't go. Will you, won't you be the one I'll always know?" is just such a beautiful line that I can easily relate to. Love this song!

this song makes me cry every time. i wish i could sing, because i would definately sing it to my guy.

well. he's not MY guy. yet. and i'm hoping ya'll can help me with this.

so i met him summer of 2004. and i don't know if you guys believe in love at first sight - but i sure as hell do. i saw him, and i remember thinking "he's going to be impossible to forget." my friends even remember my face when i first saw him. i melted. the funny thing is, i'm the only one who thinks he's even remotely attractive. don't get me wrong...i'm not like a loser or anything. i just knew from that moment...he's the one.

by the end of the summer, we were dating. my god, i fell really hard and fast. we broke up after a short time, but still stayed in contact. now it was summer 2006 and i hadn't seen him alone since summer 2004. but, then, we decided to meet up. i had a boyfriend at the time, but i didn't give a shit. it was my baby, adam. i got to his house, looked into his beautiful brown eyes, and there i go again. melting.

you see...he has some problems. he had add and adhd. he has trouble accepting love. from anyone, even his family. he would push me away, then pull me back. i KNOW he's the one. i KNOW it. he just won't let his emotions show.

i was talking to him on the phone the other day, and he said the most amazing thing i have ever heard. the said "the reason i've been avoiding actually dating yous is because i know that if we date, i'm afraid that i'll do something or say something so incredibly stupid that you will never speak to me again."

i just want him to fucking let go, and love me. i know it's in there.

this song described everything i feel for him and more. i'm going to play it at my wedding. hopefully with adam.

if any of you read this far...i hope you can help me with a cute way to show him, possible with this song?

This is an awsome song. I sung it to a girl who is now my girlfriend once I figured out how to play it. It's a great love song and just by reading it you can figure it out

This is the best song ever. Seriously. I haven't found a better song this than this one.

Obviously, this song is about a guy that wants to be with a girl he's in love with. I don't have an in depth explanation. The meaning is quite clear. Man, i can get enough of this song.
