Let's Stay Together

The speaker expresses deep love and a wish to build a life with someone. At first, the relationship feels renewing and joyful: the loved one makes the speaker feel “brand new.” The feeling then develops into a promise of lasting commitment, including through both happy and difficult times.

Several phrases show this devotion. “Come running to” means the speaker wants to be someone their partner can turn to for comfort or help. “Stay together” is more than simply being in the same place; here, it means continuing the relationship and facing life as a couple. The contrast between “good or bad” and “happy or sad” emphasizes that this promise is meant to hold across changing circumstances.

The repeated request to stay together sounds confident, but the questions about why people break up and then make up suggest some awareness that relationships can be uncertain. The speaker says they cannot deceive their partner and imagines remaining together, yet the lyrics do not explain whether there is a specific conflict or fear behind these lines. They can be heard both as a joyful declaration of love and as a sincere plea for lasting closeness.
