Be There
A Drop in the Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And though no words are coming out
I see your mouth move instead
Her friends have gone home now
It's late and the sun's down
And she's left with everything
No light love, no air love,
No rescue to be found love
But not with the scam boys
She knows they see her eyes
And they wouldn't understand
I want to be there with you
And I want to be there with you
Time's running on my mind
Give my time, give your time,
Give up time to waste time
Her friends have gone home now
It's late and the sun's down
And she's left with everything
I want to be there with you
And I want to be there with you
More a drop in the gray lyrics
In "Be There," A Drop in the Gray delivers an emotional ballad about unrequited love. The opening lines of the song, "Oh I'm talking in my head, and though no words are coming out, I see your mouth move instead," highlight the singer's feeling of isolation and introversion. It is as if she wants to express her feelings, but for some reason, she cannot.
The second verse sheds light on the singer's current state. Her friends have left, and she is left with her thoughts and emotions. The lyrics, "Oh, I'm drowning in your arms. No light love, no air love, no rescue to be found love," portray her helplessness in her current situation. Despite being close to her loved one, she feels there is no way out.
However, she refrains from reaching out to the "scam boys" around her as they wouldn't understand her feelings. She wants to be with her love interest and keep time still, as she feels that time is running out, and she needs to be with him.
Overall, "Be There" is an emotionally resonant song about unfulfilled love and the desire to be with someone who may not reciprocate those feelings.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh I'm talking in my head
I'm having a conversation in my own mind
And though no words are coming out
I'm not actually saying anything out loud
I see your mouth move instead
I'm trying to interpret your nonverbal cues to understand what you're saying
Her friends have gone home now
The people who were with her earlier have left for the night
It's late and the sun's down
It's nighttime
And she's left with everything
She's alone with her own thoughts and feelings
Oh i'm drowning in your arms
I'm completely overwhelmed by my emotions when I'm with you
No light love, no air love,
I feel like I can't breathe or see clearly when I'm with you
No rescue to be found love
There's no one who can help me escape these intense feelings
But not with the scam boys
I don't want to be around people who are fake or insincere
She knows they see her eyes
She can tell that they're looking at her in a way that makes her uncomfortable
And they wouldn't understand
They don't have the emotional depth or insight to comprehend what she's going through
I want to be there with you
I crave the emotional intimacy and connection that I feel when I'm with you
Time's running on my mind
I feel like I'm wasting time or not making the most of the time I have
Give my time, give your time,
I'm willing to invest time in this relationship if you are too
Give up time to waste time
Even if our time together doesn't always feel productive or meaningful, it's still worth it to me
I want to be there with you
I want to be close to you and share my life with you
And I want to be there with you
I long for the emotional closeness and connection that I feel when I'm with you
