Ne-Yo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my flight got cancelled wouldn't stop raining
So two days three flights later I touchdown
But there was trouble with you family and now your outta town
And I don't like it no this ain't cool
Feelin like there's something just don't want me near you
The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like everyday is something new
Baby the world keeps getting in the way
With you is where I wanna be but it just won't let me
Cause it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
And now were in the same state
But I be in the studio workin extra late (5 in the morning)
And finally I get to leave (I'm comin home to you)
But by the time I get there your already fast asleep
And I don't like it no this ain't cool
Feelin like there's something just don't want me near you
The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like everyday is something new
Baby the world keeps getting in the way
With you is where I wanna be but it just won't let me
Cause it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
And I don't like it no this ain't cool
Feelin like there's something just don't want me near you
Baby The world keeps getting in the way
Trying to get to you but it seems like everyday is something new
Baby the world keeps getting in the way
With you is where I wanna be but it just won't let me
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Said it keeps getting in the way
Keeps getting in the way
Ne-Yo's "In the Way" describes a frustrating situation in which external obstacles seem to continually block the singer's attempts to be with his loved one. The lyrics suggest that the singer is doing everything he can to be with his partner, but external forces beyond his control--such as rain, cancelled flights, and conflicting work schedules--prevent him from doing so. The repetition of the line "The world keeps getting in the way" emphasizes the idea that the singer feels powerless against these forces. The inability to be with his loved one brings a sense of unease and frustration, as the singer feels like there is something that does not want him near his partner.
The song portrays a situation that many people can relate to in today's fast-paced world, where work and other commitments can easily take over a relationship. It highlights the feeling of helplessness when external factors seem to prevent one from being with the person they love. Overall, the song highlights the importance of communication, flexibility, and perseverance in maintaining a relationship.
