The poem explores the speaker's feelings of vulnerability without their partner and their need to be together. It describes their hearts as being tied together like ships on the ocean. While love can be hard, the speaker isn't afraid of it because their partner makes them stronger. They apologize for admitting their need for their partner but say that not being with them leaves them feeling weak.

Drifting, weightless Waves cry/ try to break it I'd do anything to save/said it Why is it so hard to save it?
My heart, your heart
Sit tight like bookends Pages between us/use Written with no end So many words we're not saying/ crying Don't wanna wait 'til it's done/gone You make me strong
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care, I'm not scared of love/ laugh 'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong/strong That you make me strong?
Think of how much
Love that's been wasted People always/ ways Trying to escape it Move on to drop/stop their heart breaking But there's nothing I'm running from You make me strong/ wrong
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care, I'm not scared/ care of love 'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong?
So, baby, hold/hope on to my heart, oh
Need you to keep me from feeling/falling apart I'll always hold on 'Cause you make me strong
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care, I'm not scared of love 'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong?
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care, I'm not scared of love 'Cause when I'm not/ don’t with you, I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong? That you make me...
I'm sorry if I say, "I need you"
But I don't care, I'm not scared of love 'Cause when I'm not with you, I'm weaker Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong That you make me strong?
