This song talks about that one constant in a person’s life who has always been there to support and uplift you no matter how or who we are. No judgements, no conditions. Just pure genuine support and love. It could be referred to anyone from the person you love to the faith you hold on to.
[Verse 1]
I'm so passive, too sarcastic
Shut you out just out of habit
I don’t know
So I spent five months out here treading water
Now I wonder why you bothered
I don't know
Let me go
[Chorus]
Why do you keep reaching for my hand?
Do you see something I can't?
Why do you try to save me?
This fate is well deserved
I only make things worse
Why do you try to save me?
[Verse 2]
Have I served my sentence? Learned my lesson?
Healed those wounds from my indiscretions?
I don’t know
Am I still so selfish? Exile ended?
What do you see in my misdirections?
I don't know
Let me go
[Chorus]
Why do you keep reaching for my hand?
Do you see something I can't?
Why do you try to save me?
This fate is well deserved
I only make things worse
Why do you try to save me?
[Bridge]
And sometimes, I pray
That maybe I will change
Into who you think I am
[Chorus]
Why do you keep reaching for my hand?
Do you see something I can't?
Why do you try to save me?
This fate is well deserved
I only make things worse
Why do you try to save me?
Why do you try to save me?
Save Me was written by Scott Harris & Noah Kahan.
Save Me was produced by Joel Little.
Noah Kahan released Save Me on Fri Jun 14 2019.
“Save Me” is a song I wrote for the people in our lives who see something in us that we might not see in ourselves. Sometimes we can distort our ideas about who we are and what we’re worth. Save Me is for those amazing few who see us for who we can be, and not who we are.
