Song Meaning of “Ticklish” by Candy Hearts
‘Ticklish’ by Candy Hearts is a song about the overwhelming feeling of being in a relationship with someone who you can’t ever really get enough of. The lyrics describe the intense feeling of being in love, and the thrilling anticipation of the moments before being reunited with the loved one.
The song begins with the very physical feeling of anticipation, ‘I’m so ticklish when you come near.’ This is followed up with the idea of longing, ‘touch me, and I just want you to stay’ and the idea of someone being the source of comfort, ‘you make me feel like I’m okay.’
The chorus goes on to describe the ways in which one’s feelings intensify with the presence of the loved one, ‘the further you go the closer I am.’ This leads to the realisation of just how much the loved one means to the narrator, ‘you are my sunshine in a jar.’
The song goes further to describe the lover’s ability to make the narrator feel like ‘I just might fly away in your arms.’ It conveys the idea that one’s emotions can easily become out of control in the presence of the one they love, and though it can be overwhelming, it’s an experience that they never want to let go of.
