Then There Was You
Discovering Light in Life's Shadows: Then There Was You
Lyrics
oh
Expression of surprise or realization.
i found myself in trouble again
Acknowledgment of being in trouble once again.
when all i really needed was a friend
Desire for friendship and support.
it was bleak
Depiction of a difficult or challenging situation.
if these dirty walls could speak
Imagining the walls witnessing and revealing vulnerability.
they'd show you what it means to be weak
Indication that vulnerability is a display of weakness.
then there was you
Introduction of a positive turning point – "you" entering the picture.
i finally got a reason to smile
Finding joy and a reason to smile in the presence of "you."
i got someone to hold on to
Discovering someone to hold on to, possibly for emotional support.
then there was you
Reiteration of the positive impact of "you" on the narrator's life.
i got myself a reason to live
Finding a reason to live with the presence of "you."
i got myself someone to give to
Having someone to give to, indicating a reciprocal relationship.
i come alive
Feeling a revitalization or awakening in the presence of "you."
the slighest touch, your crooked smile
Noteworthy positive qualities of "you" – a touch and a smile.
the darkest days are all but gone for a while
Dark and difficult days are temporarily overcome.
i feel new
Sensation of being renewed or reborn.
got a whole new look on life
Gaining a new perspective on life.
i'm through with worries
Letting go of worries and anxieties.
cause now there's you
Attributing this positive change to the presence of "you."
then there was you
Reiteration of the transformative impact of "you."
i finally got a reason to smile
Continued joy and reason to smile with "you."
i got someone to hold on to
Maintaining a source of support in "you."
then there was you
Reaffirmation of the positive influence of "you" on life.
i got myself a reason to live
Finding a renewed purpose in life with "you."
i got myself someone to give to
Having someone to give to, completing a fulfilling connection.
