Love Me Like You by The Young Escape

Love Me Like You is sung by the sibling band The Young Escape featuring rapper

Nobigdyl. The Young Escape is a brother and sister Christian band that is fairly new to music.

They released their first single Good Life in October of 2017, and have released three other

songs along with a remix of Good Life. Love Me Like You is their newest song that debuted

August 3rd of 2018. They have yet to release a full album, but they have teased many times they

are coming out with one before the end of 2019. I discovered them from my brother last summer

and have loved their music ever since. Their unique pop sound with a electronic edge is what

drew me to them to begin with. As a Christian myself, I love finding bands like The Young

Escape who remain true to their backgrounds and sing the style of music I like.

In the first and second line of the chorus, McKenna, The lead singer of the band, writes

"even in the middle of the night even when my heart can't see the light" which is a metaphor

because your heart can not see. This is meant to convey that we will not understand why

everything happens the way it does, but even in our darkest times He is still there. This same

meaning is found in a different lyric in the third line of verse two she says "When the skies are

falling all around me." The Young Escape uses repetition with the theme throughout the song to

convey their deeper message to the listener that no one will love you like Jesus. It shows this by

repeating “Nobody's gonna love me like you” in the chorus twice. In three different lines, she

portrays the theme again through more repetition in the second line of both the first and second

chorus "even when my heart can see the light", in the 4th line of the chorus "even when the

oceans pull me out", and in the third line of verse 2 "when the skies are falling all around me."

These tools that they use, are important to the integrity of the song

The words in the song convey that God's love never runs away when things get hard.

That his love will never break because He always keeps His promises. The Young Escape is

trying to tell the audience that no matter what situation someone may be in, they are not alone.

He knows our emptiness and the struggles we face and yet He still gives us His perfect real love

that will never end. That people don’t have to rely on their circumstance to fill themselves up.

When we think something doesn't make sense and everything has fallen out of place, that no one

can fall out of God's love. Nobody is going to love you like Him.

Love Me Like You by The Young Escape Lyrics

You take my fear and make me fearless

You give me strength when I have none
You know my failures and my secrets
And I know I stand on perfect love

[Pre-Chorus: McKenna Johns]

Over and over again
You show me I can't be shaken
I won't be taken
Out by the waves and the wind, I know

[Chorus 1: McKenna Johns]

Even in the middle of the night
Even when my heart can't see the light
I could find a million reasons why it's true
Even when the oceans pull me out
I know that You're with me even now
You're the only love I've found that's true
Nobody's gonna love me like You
Nobody's gonna love me like You

[Verse 2: McKenna Johns]

You fill me up when I feel empty

You give me more than enough
When skies are falling all around me
You follow me with perfect love

[Chorus 1: McKenna Johns & nobigdyl]

Even in the middle of the night
Even when my heart can't see the light
I could find a million reasons why it's true
Even when the oceans pull me out
I know that You're with me even now
You're the only love I've found that's true
Nobody's gonna love me like You
Nobody's gonna love me like You
You take my fears and make me fearless

[Bridge: nobigdyl]
I was in a rut, I had given up, it was in my blood
I would trade it all for shame when You give me love
I took Your words and made a riddle with that
Then I cried a river and You went and built a bridge over that (Bridge over that)
Rainstorms, rainbow, You brought the Skittles to that
You gave me love when I had none, yea it's simple as that

[Chorus 2: McKenna Johns]

Nobody's gonna love me like You
Nobody's gonna love me like You
Nobody's gonna love me like You
Nobody's gonna love me like You
Nobody's gonna love me like You
