Lyrics of “Love Me like You Do”

In the first verse, the narrator realizes that she’s falling crazily infatuated (or, in love perhaps) with the addressee.

She acknowledges in the second verse that there’s some level of fear associated lớn her lover, yet she chooses to lớn overlook it. Why?

In the third & final verse, we come across the phrase “fading in, fading out“, which apparently translates khổng lồ the narrator being so high or dazed from the extreme pleasure derived from intimate activities with the addressee. In the eyes of the narrator this experience is akin lớn almost being in paradise.

She then proceeds khổng lồ refer khổng lồ every inch of the addressee’s skin lớn “a Holy Grail” that she must find.

In the bridge, the narrator (who is thoroughly intoxicated by the love/lust she has for the addressee) gives the addressee the green light to bởi as he pleases with her.
