Every Time I'm With You

Seal's song 'Every Time I'm With You' delves into the profound sense of connection and belonging that can arise in a relationship. The lyrics explore the emotional highs and vulnerabilities that come with being deeply intertwined with another person. The opening lines, 'Are we going insane? Do we need to explain?' suggest a sense of bewilderment and wonder at the intensity of their bond. This is further emphasized by the line, 'Cause when you show me that candlelight, I don't wanna blow it,' which uses the metaphor of a candlelight to symbolize the delicate yet illuminating nature of their relationship.

The chorus, 'I can lose it all, it won't be daunting, Somehow I don't think I'd even care, Cause every time I'm with you, I feel wanted,' highlights the transformative power of feeling truly wanted and accepted. Seal suggests that the emotional security and validation he receives from his partner make other concerns seem insignificant. This sentiment is reinforced by the repeated lines, 'Show me you like it, show me excited,' which emphasize the importance of mutual enthusiasm and affirmation in their relationship.

Seal also touches on the idea of individuality within a partnership with the lines, 'Cause we're like summer and rain, You and I are not the same, That's what makes it perfect.' This suggests that their differences complement each other, creating a harmonious balance. The song ultimately conveys a message of hope and belief in the power of love to overcome challenges, as encapsulated in the lines, 'We could make believers if we dare, yeah.' Seal's soulful delivery and the song's emotive lyrics combine to create a powerful ode to the strength and beauty of a deep, loving connection.
