Lyrics

It's hard

Expressing difficulty or challenges.

Where you leave me

Addressing the emotional impact of departure.

Well it ain't easy being where I'm from

Highlighting the challenges of the speaker's origin.


I told you that I would come back from the city

Committing to return from the city.

But you wouldn't wait for me to come back home

Expressing disappointment in the listener not waiting.


(It's you)

Referring to the listener (possibly a significant other).

Well I wouldn't wait for another one

Indicating the speaker's lack of patience for another person.

It's hard to be two when you're missin' one

Describing the difficulty of maintaining a relationship when one is absent.


I'm here

Affirming the speaker's presence and availability.

If you need me

Offering support if needed.

I know it ain't easy, being where you're from

Acknowledging the challenges of the listener's origin.

Remember, you'd hike to the top of the city

Recalling a past commitment or effort by the listener.

And I couldn't wait for you to come back home

Expressing anticipation for the listener's return.


(It's you)

Referring again to the listener (possibly emphasizing importance).

Well I couldn't wait for another one

Reiterating impatience for someone else.

And it's hard to be two when you're missin' one

Describing the challenge of being incomplete without someone.

And it's hard to stick together when you miss someone

Highlighting the difficulty of maintaining unity when someone is absent.
