JJ Heller - When I'm With You Lyrics
Lyrics
When I hold you
In my arms, love
Somethin' changes
It's the strangest feeling
The things that
Use to matter
They don't matter
To me
When I see you
And you're smilin'
How my heart aches
So full it is about to break
You make me believe in love
I could never count all the ways
That you change me, baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you
When I hear you
And you're cryin'
It resonates, dear
In a place I didn't know was there
You make me believe in love
I could never count all the ways
That you change me, baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you
Beautiful, baby
You're sweeter than strawberry pie
Just like the morning
Your smile brings the sun that shines
I could never count all the ways
That you change me, baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you
I could never count all the ways
That you change me, baby
Every day the sky is a deeper shade of blue
When I'm with you

Meaning & Inspiration
JJ Heller's "When I'm With You," released on April 30, 2021, is a profound exploration of how love can reshape our perspective and elevate our understanding of the world. The song doesn't dwell on the specifics of a relationship's origin, but rather immerses us in the transformative power experienced within it. Heller captures a sentiment echoed throughout Scripture: that genuine connection can fundamentally alter our priorities and awaken a deeper appreciation for life itself. The lyrics speak to a profound shift where earthly concerns fade in significance when contrasted with the presence of a loved one. This resonates with the biblical call to focus on what is eternal rather than fleeting, as seen in Colossians 3:2, which urges believers to "set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." The feeling of joy and even ache experienced when witnessing a loved one's happiness or sorrow mirrors the empathy and shared burdens encouraged in Romans 12:15: "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep." Heller's assertion that this presence "makes me believe in love" is particularly striking. It suggests a rediscovery or deepening of faith in love's existence and power, a testament to how Christ-like love, when experienced in human relationships, can point us towards the ultimate source of love. The imagery of the sky deepening in color and the sun shining brightly due to this person's presence speaks to how love can enhance our sensory and emotional experience of God's creation, making the ordinary extraordinary. This is akin to Psalm 19:1, which states, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." Ultimately, "When I'm With You" is a beautiful testament to the spiritual and emotional renewal that can occur within loving relationships, suggesting that such connections, when aligned with divine principles, can indeed bring us closer to understanding the boundless love of God.
