Whenever I Do
Embracing Solitude: A Melodic Journey Through Love's Complexities
Lyrics
Well I don't need no one
Expressing independence, stating not needing anyone.
Except when I do
Contradicting the previous line, acknowledging the occasional need for someone.
And that's when that no one
Highlighting that in times of need, the desired person is undefined ("no one").
Is someone like you
Identifying the specific person needed in those moments (the listener).
Nothing seems shaped to fit
Reflecting on the lack of perfect fits in life.
I remember the times we'd sit
Recalling shared moments of idleness with the listener.
Doing nothing 'cept watch TV
Describing a simple yet enjoyable pastime of watching TV together.
And that seemed alright to me
Expressing contentment with the mentioned activity.
But I don't want no one
Reiterating the desire to be alone except when feeling down.
Except when I'm blue
Acknowledging the need for companionship during blue moments.
And that's when that no one
Stating that the preferred company during such times is the listener.
Is someone like you
Reinforcing the idea of the listener being the right person in moments of sadness.
Lying there every night
Expressing a sense of discomfort or dissatisfaction during nights.
I'm wondering why nothing seems right
Questioning why things feel wrong or incomplete.
Now all my songs are blue
Linking the emotional state to the color blue, suggesting sadness.
Just at the thought of you
Conveying that thoughts of the listener evoke sadness in the singer.
I held you tight
Recalling an intimate moment of holding the listener tightly.
Tight in these arms
Describing physical closeness in the singer's arms.
Dear then you said goodbye
Recounting the listener saying goodbye, implying separation.
Now you're not here
Emphasizing the absence of the listener in the present.
Well, I dream every night
Expressing a recurring dream about the listener catching the singer's tears.
You'll catch my tears
Symbolizing emotional pain through tears.
But I know
Acknowledging the impossibility of recreating the past.
Can't be the same
Admitting that things won't be the same as before.
Won't feel the same
Anticipating a different emotional experience.
I'll take the blame
Taking responsibility for the changed dynamics.
Cause it's all the same
Asserting that the outcome is consistent despite changes.
In the end
Summarizing that, in the end, everything is the same.
When I think of someone
Reflecting on thoughts of someone in general.
Whenever I do
Acknowledging the inevitability of thinking about the listener.
The face that I long for
Expressing a longing for the listener's face in those thoughts.
Turns out to be you
Discovering that the face longed for in thoughts is that of the listener.
