Just to Be Near You
Whispers of Longing: Unveiling the Essence of 'Just to Be Near You'
Lyrics
When the wind blows, it blows
Wind symbolizes change or uncertainty; it comes and goes unpredictably.
When it goes, it goes
Life's transient nature; things happen and then pass.
Sends the dust devils flying
Dust devils represent turmoil or chaos in one's life.
In your mirror.
Reflection on challenges or disruptions in the rearview mirror of life.
When the cotton trees
Cotton trees symbolize nature applauding or acknowledging.
Applaud the summer breeze
Summer breeze, a pleasant moment; silver leaves falling indicate grace.
The silver leaves fall at your feet
The beauty of nature surrounds, alluding to a desire to be close.
Just to be near you.
Everything in nature seems to gravitate towards being near the person.
Maybe you'll look back
Reflecting on the past, hoping for a pause in difficulties.
When the dirt stops flying
Anticipation of a moment of clarity when troubles settle.
And see that my whole world is dying
The realization that the speaker's world is suffering without the person.
Just to have you back again.
Expressing a strong desire for the person's return despite challenges.
When the winter rain
Associating rain with the speaker's emotions; it only seeks closeness.
Hits your window pane
Symbolic of challenges trying to enter the person's life for closeness.
You know it only wanted in
Recognition that challenges or emotions only want to be close.
Just to be near you.
Reiteration of the theme that everything desires proximity to the person.
When the moon hangs low
Reference to the moon, symbolizing the speaker's contemplation.
I wonder if you know
Wondering if the person is aware of the impact they have on the speaker.
Even the night falls at your feet
Nightfall, normally a time of rest, also seeks closeness in this context.
Just to be near you.
Emphasizing that even the night desires to be close to the person.
And the nighttime voices
Nocturnal sounds express longing and sorrow for the person's absence.
Are moaning and sighing
Comparing nighttime voices to crickets, both expressing a desire for return.
Sounding like the crickets crying
Implies a sense of yearning, echoing the crickets' cries for the person.
Just to have you back again.
Reiterating the strong desire to have the person back in the speaker's life.
