## **Theme**

Jesse is most likely singing about his current girlfriend Devon Carlson who seems to be a huge support in his music work. Jesse says he has never been loved as much as he is now. The quality of this feeling can be overwhelming to Jesse. If we consider his past love experiences, we understand that it is not easy for him.Jesse may be used to being in control. In previous relationships, such as the one with Anabel Englund, which ended in 2014, he had to fend for himself and take full responsibility for himself and his loved one. Now it feels as if the power dynamics has shifted to the wrong side and he is no longer capable of controlling the entire relationship.This may be because he feels that the loved one is out of his reach. Jesse is referring to her relationship with drugs. Psychotherapy, otherwise known as counseling, is psychological therapy designed to help the patient understand their problems and overcome their fears. Jesse says his girlfriend can understand him and help him through difficult times more than any counseling session. [2]

## **Lyrics**

Move to the city with me

I don't wanna be alone

(Don't wanna be alone)

You're too pretty for me

Baby, I know (it's true), yeah

You look better when you first wake up

Than anybody else I've fucked

Baby, I got good luck with you

I didn't know we'd get so far

And it's only the start

Baby, you got me worried (ayy)

Your love is scaring me

No one has ever cared for me

As much as you do

Ooh, yeah, I need you here, oh

Your love is scaring me

No one has ever cared for me

As much as you do

Ooh, yeah, I need you here

Drivin' through the city with me

Just watchin' you glow

I'm in the passenger seat, you're in control

(It's on you now) Mhm

You look better every day, I swear

Really, it's a little unfair

Baby, I'm star-struck by you

Didn't know we'd get so far

And it's only the start

Baby, you got me worried (ayy)

Your love is scaring me

No one has ever cared for me

As much as you do

Ooh, yeah, I need you here, oh

Your love is scaring me

No one has ever cared for me

As much as you do

Ooh, yeah, I need you here

If we fall apart, maybe it wasn't meant to be

If we fall apart, it was our favourite dream

Ooh, ooh, ahh-aaah

Your love is therapy

No drug can give me clarity

As much as you do (as you do, baby)

Ooh, yeah, I need you here (I need you here)

Your love is scaring me (no one)

No one has ever cared for me (ooh, baby)

As much as you do

Oooh (hey, yeah), yeah, I need you here (oh-oh, oh-oh)

Ooh, ooh, ahh

(Yeah, yeah, I need you, baby)

Yeah

(Ooh ooh, I need you) [3]
