"Lean on you" brings us a better understanding of what it looks like to pursue someone for whom you have high hopes. As the listener we can understand the level of desire the artist has for the other person. There's a genuine sense of hope when the artist talks about trusting the other person with her heart.

The chorus of the song sums up the overarching theme beautifully when it says, "If I hold on, baby, would you hold me back would you hold on too / If I needed more than you could give, would you make that move / Cause if I lean in, honey would you tell me I can lean on you." The chorus adds even more depth, helping the listener to feel the full impact of the song.

The tone of the song is heartfelt and authentic. It captures the excitement and the vulnerability that comes along with love and all of its new possibilities. The tone helps solidify the mood of the song, which is uplifting and hopeful. We can easily gather the enthusiasm Abbie Redheart has towards the situation at hand.
