If I need you, will you save me?
Will you pull me out when nobody's left here?
Love's drained out, I feel nothing
Will you save me? Will you save me?
If I need you, will you save me?
Will you pull me out when nobody's left here?
Love's drained out, I feel nothing
Will you save me? Will you—
I know, that's how I want it
I'm chasing peace on the road
What's up, Ted Lasso?
What if the laughter fades someday?
And what's the speedo say?
After the crash it's too late
I'm no Picasso
It's not cool when I overthink
Why do you stay with me
Even when I'm steering wrong?
When I lose my grip
I wanna run straight to you
If I need you, will you save me?
Will you pull me out when nobody's left here?
Love's drained out, I feel nothing
Will you save me? Will you save me?
If I need you, will you save me?
Will you pull me out when nobody's left here?
Love's drained out, I feel nothing
Will you save me? Will you—

SONG MEANING

Rettest Du Mich (German for Will you save me?) is Mark Forster’s heartfelt SOS. Over a pulsing beat he keeps asking the same urgent question: “If I need you, will you pull me out when no one else is around?” The repetition feels like waves of self-doubt crashing in. He name-drops pop-culture (Ted Lasso), art (Picasso) and speedometers (Tacho) to show how scattered his mind is, then confesses that laughter can vanish, crashes can happen and he is no perfect masterpiece. In those vulnerable moments, love seems to have drained away and he feels nothing.

Yet the song is not just gloom. By turning to someone he trusts, Forster highlights the power of unwavering support. The chorus becomes a rallying cry for unconditional friendship: staying by a person’s side when they misnavigate, lose their grip or break apart. In short, the track is a catchy pop reminder that even when our inner compass fails, a true companion can still steer us back to safety—and that asking for help is anything but weak.
