Lyrics
editThe song is based on two lovers in a long distance relationship, where McCoy says they're on the same sphere despite 3 months apart, while Mraz sings the lines 'Never let go of me, Hold tight, It's gonna get hard to breathe" in an emotional hook. The song also features many references to the 1998 film Titanic, i.e. "loose lips sink ships, that's what someone told me, but this boat can stay afloat as long as you hold me".
Music Video
editThe music video was premiered on October 11, 2013. The video was filmed in New York City.[1]
