Beyonce's "Die With You" Perfectly Describes Love

by Kelsie Gibson

Just when we thought she couldn't get anymore flawless, superstar Beyoncé is at it again with her new single, "Die With You." In this exclusive performance (available only on Jay Z's streaming music service Tidal) we see a whole new side of Queen Bey as she ditches her glitzy leotard and heels for a snapback and Michael Jackson T-shirt. Not only is the performance super intimate with just her, a handheld camera and a piano (yes, she plays the piano!), but at the end we get a sweet surprise as Jay Z reveals himself as the videographer. Also, and perhaps most importantly, Beyoncé's "Die With You" lyrics perfectly describe the feeling of being in love.

For one, the release of the song was perfectly timed on April 4, which is Beyonce and Jay Z's 7th anniversary. (Seriously, these two are the epitome of power couple.) Even though the meaning behind the song is obviously something super special between Mr. and Mrs. Carter — understandably so, considering the song was dedicated from Bey to Jay on their anniversary — the lyrics are still super relatable. So as you gush over how perfect Beyoncé and Jay Z are for each other, here are some lyrics from "Die With You" that perfectly describe being in love.

"I don't have a reason to cry, and I have every reason to smile"

When you're with that special someone, the only reason for crying is when they make you laugh too hard.

"I don’t have a reason to lie, when you’re already reading my mind"

You've been together for so long, you always know what the other one is thinking.

"And I don't need air in my lungs, if I can’t sing your song"

Your love is so strong, it's like a song you can't get out of your head.

"No I don't need hands, if I don't get to keep you warm"

The Beatles had it right when they came up with those simple lyrics... " I wanna hold your hand ."

"And I don't really need to be, if I can't be with you."

Sure you could make it on your own, but why live life like that when you're already happy?

"'Cause darling I wake up just to sleep with you"

You're so in love you just wanna wrap yourself up in their arms.

"And I live so I can die with you"

You can't wait to live the rest of your life with your special person.
