The song "Tell Me Something" by Joan Shelley is about a person who is offering themselves to their love interest. The person is willing to do anything to make their love interest happy and asks them if there is anything they want from them. The person is ready to face any challenge with their love interest and is willing to be there for them through any storm. Despite this willingness, the person is still unsure about the future. They wonder if they will always be alone, and if it will take a while for their story to play out. The person sees that their love interest's eyes look distant but their arms are still able, suggesting that they may be hesitant to fully commit to the relationship. The person then urges their love interest to take them to bed and shake them to their knees to find a piece of each other. The person's open arms are warm and welcoming, but they also assert that they will get their way. Overall, "Tell Me Something" is a song about being vulnerable and offering oneself to love, despite the uncertainty and fear that comes with it.
