these days
77 Jefferson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the predicament I'm in these days
Sometimes it gets real tough but we find a way
Cause I needed your love before yesterday
But for now if you make me smile I guess I'll stay

Cause the feeling I get when I'm loving you girl
Don't walk out that door, cause I'll miss you more
Don't wanna see you cry no because I love you
And thats all I got to say
Cause I tell you I love you but then you say it's too late
Can't handle rejection, dont wanna hear you say
Cause I need ya, I wanna please ya
But if you're gonna let me go, then you gotta let me know but ok
cause I don't wanna hear you say that's the only way
I miss it when you used to kiss me,
i miss the way you used to hug me

I miss the way you used to say
You told me that you loved me
Falling in and out of love with you
Baby is what I hate to do
Can't stand this pain no more
Can't stand to see you walking out that door
Baby I need your love everyday

And I never wanna see our situation change

But it gets so hard to be with you
When we are just feeling both oh so used
Cause this is the predicament I'm in these days
Falling in and out of love with you
Sometimes it gets real tough but we find a way

Baby is what I hate to do
Cause this is the predicament I'm in these days

Falling in and out of love with you

Sometimes it gets real tough but we find a way
Baby I need your love everyday
And I never wanna see our situation change

But it gets so hard to be with you
When we are just feeling both oh so used
Cause I tell you I love you but then you say it's too late
Can't handle rejection, don't wanna hear you say
Cause I need ya, I wanna please ya
But if you're gonna let me go, then you gotta let me know but ok
Cause I don't wanna hear you say that's the only way
I miss it when you used to kiss me,
I miss the way you used to hug me
I miss the way you used to say
You told me that you loved me
Cause this is the predicament I'm in these days
Falling in and out of love with you
Sometimes it gets real tough but we find a way
Baby is what I hate to do
Cause this is the predicament I'm in these days




Falling in and out of love with you
Sometimes it gets real tough but we find a way

It’s all meant to be,
All the pain & struggle..

Beautiful light that’s defined/expressed uniquely in each individual’s momentary experience,
Living & breathing, connected with all relation.

learning to love until it’s time to pass thru.
