Song Meaning

Hulvey turns a string of rapid-fire affirmations into a conversation with God, and the hook keeps circling back to a question that sounds almost too good to accept: "Can it be true? You love me how you do?" The verses tally what that love has settled, with a checklist refrain of "You on it, check / You worth it, check / You're perfect, check" that treats God's character as something already proven rather than hoped for.

Between those checks sits plain confession. He admits to carrying a lot on his chest, to handing his burdens over, and to a pride that rises "too high" before God calls it out and still sees him "the same." Another verse looks outward at people the world tries to crush and at the choice to turn the other cheek, with the foundation named as solid. The closing image, "It's cold in this city / So I'll be your light," shifts from receiving love to carrying it into hard places.

The wonder of being loved without having to fake or front echoes Romans 8:38-39 and the line in 1 John 4:19 that we love because He first loved us. The song leaves the question open on purpose, and lets repetition do the persuading.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

The truth is you matter so much to me
I'll never let you go, you stay close to me
I don't wanna lose you
I just wanna choose you
Handing my burdens to you
I ain't gotta fool you
Seeing right through you
Even in the pain see the true you
Really got passion
Never been flashy
Never need a man to approve you
Seen the world try to crush you
But you show love to 'em
Turn your cheek when they bruise you
Slide through the east and the west
With a lot on my chest
But I know that you got me yeah
Walk in this world full of death
With a pep in your step
The foundation is solid, yeah

You on it, check
You worth it, check
You're perfect, check
Reflection (Let's go)
Can it be true? Ooh
You love me how you do? Ooh
Can it be true? Ooh
You love me how you do? Ooh

Can it be true? Ooh
Can't lead these sons and daughters without you, yeah
Your heart is pure, this water so brand new (Brand new)
Ain't gotta fake or front, I'll fight the truth with you
Consumed by you
Keeping the flame, yeah (Yeah)
Do nothing in vain, yeah
I get up too high, you calling my pride
You see me the same, yeah

Okay, you on it, check
You worth it, check
You're perfect, check
Reflection, check

Can it be true? Ooh
You love me how you do? Ooh
Can it be true? Ooh
You love me how you do? Ooh (Love me how you do)

Ay, okay, you on it, check
Worth it, check
Perfect, check
Reflection, check
You on it, check
Worth it, check
Perfect, check
Reflection, uh

Can it be true? Ooh
You love me how you do? Ooh
Can it be true? Ooh
You love me how you do? Ooh

It's cold in this city
So I'll be your light
And when I find you with me
I will hold you, I will hold you
