With Him
Melancholic Serenade: Longing for a Love That Belongs
Lyrics
Back before I even knew you
Reflecting on a time before knowing the person being addressed in the lyrics.
You were creepin' on my mind
Thinking about the person even before officially meeting them.
Took some courage just to meet you
Expressing the courage it took to approach and meet the person.
Wound up further down the line
Ended up in a situation or relationship that progressed over time.
Now I see you on the weekends
Currently observing the person during weekends.
With your fingers intertwined
Noticing physical closeness with the person, possibly holding hands.
I'll be singing my old songs
Singing old songs, indicating a nostalgic or reflective mood.
While you dance with another guy
Witnessing the person dancing with someone else.
So I'll just down another bottle
Coping with emotions by consuming alcohol.
And I'll think about how I'll see you tomorrow
Contemplating the prospect of meeting the person again tomorrow.
And I'll just play another vinyl
Engaging in a comforting activity like playing vinyl records.
As I sing myself to sleep, oh why'd you have to be with him
Expressing sadness and questioning why the person is with someone else.
The days are getting longer by the minute
Feeling time dragging on, possibly due to the anticipation of seeing the person.
Cuz I'll wait for you and me
Expressing patience and willingness to wait for a relationship to develop.
And I know my time's awastin'
Acknowledging that time is passing, but hopeful about the potential relationship.
But I know what we could be
Believing in the potential of a romantic connection with the person.
So I'll just down another bottle
Continuing to use alcohol as a coping mechanism for emotions.
And I'll think about how I'll see you tomorrow
Thinking about the future encounter with the person while consuming alcohol.
And I'll just play another vinyl
Seeking solace in the act of playing music before bedtime.
As I sing myself to sleep
Singing oneself to sleep, indicating a form of self-soothing or catharsis.
So I'll just down another bottle
Repeating the pattern of using alcohol to cope with emotions.
And I'll think about how I'll see you tomorrow
Anticipating the next encounter with the person while under the influence.
And I'll just play another vinyl
Continuing the routine of finding comfort in music before sleep.
As I sing myself to see, oh why'd you have to be with him
Reiterating the sadness and questioning the choice of being with someone else.
