Never Seen The World
Alex Hall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never seen it like this
I haven't seen the sunshine in a while
But I do right now
I can see for miles like I never could
I don't need to look back
'Cause it'll never be half as good
As it is right now
Why don't we just stay a while and waste a little time?
Listen to the radio and hold each other tight
Talk about whatever, everything under the moon
I've never seen the world
I've never seen the world
The way I see it with you
There's something in the air
There's something in your touch
You set my heart on fire
Oh, I'm gonna burn up
Before I get enough
So why don't we just stay a while and waste a little time?
Listen to the radio and hold each other tight
Talk about whatever, everything under the moon
I've never seen the world
I've never seen the world
The way I see it with you
You're rose-colored glasses
That I love looking through
You're the moment before it passes
That I keep holding onto
So, why don't we just stay a while and waste a little time?
Listen to the radio and hold each other tight
Talk about whatever, everything under the moon
I've never seen the world
I've never seen the world
The way I see it with you, mm
The way I see it with you
Alex Hall's song "Never Seen The World" is a romantic ballad that is about the joy of being with someone special and appreciating the world around you. The singer starts by reflecting on how he has been down this road countless times before, but he has never seen the world in the way he sees it now. The reason for this is because of the woman he is with. He hasn't seen the sunshine in a while, but he does right now because he is with someone who makes him feel warm and happy inside. He can see for miles like he never could before because he is looking at the world through the lens of love.
The chorus of the song is an invitation to the woman to stay with him and waste a little time. They can listen to the radio, hold each other tight, and talk about anything and everything under the sun. He has never seen the world the way he sees it with her, and that is a testament to how special she is to him. There is something in the air and in her touch that sets his heart on fire. He knows that he is going to burn up before he ever gets enough of her, but that is okay because he doesn't want the moment to end.
The bridge of the song is a beautiful metaphor that compares the woman to rose-colored glasses. She is something that he loves looking through because she makes everything more beautiful and vibrant. She is also the moment before it passes that he keeps holding onto because he never wants to let her go. The song ends with another invitation to stay with him and enjoy the world as they see it with each other.
Overall, "Never Seen The World" is a beautiful love song that captures the feeling of falling in love with someone and seeing the world in a completely new light because of their presence.

ALEX HALL ft. VINCE HILL (2020) – NEVER SEEN THE WORLD (Traducción en español)
I've been down this road a thousand times
He recorrido este camino un millar de veces
I've never seen it like this
Nunca lo había visto así
I haven't seen the sunshine in a while
No he visto la luz del sol en un tiempo
But I do right now
Pero lo hago ahora mismo
I can see for miles like I never could
Puedo ver hasta muy lejos como nunca pude
I don't need to look back
No necesito mirar atrás
'Cause it'll never be half as good
Porque nunca será ni la mitad de bueno
As it is right now
De como es ahora mismo
Why don't we just stay a while and waste a little time?
¿Por qué no nos quedamos un rato y perdemos un poco el tiempo?
Listen to the radio and hold each other tight
Escuchemos la radio y abracémonos fuerte el uno al otro
Talk about whatever, everything under the moon
Hablemos de lo que sea, todo bajo la luna
I've never seen the world, I've never seen the world
Nunca he visto el mundo, nunca he visto el mundo
The way I see it with you
De la manera que lo veo contigo
Thеre's something in the air
Hay algo en el aire
Thеre's something in your touch
Hay algo en tu toque
You set my heart on fire
Prendes fuego a mi corazón
Oh, I'm gonna burn up
Oh, voy a consumirme
Before I get enough
Antes de tener suficiente
So why don't we just stay a while and waste a little time?
Así que ¿por qué no nos quedamos un rato y perdemos un poco el tiempo?
Listen to the radio and hold each other tight
Escuchemos la radio y abracémonos fuerte el uno al otro
Talk about whatever, everything under the moon
Hablemos de lo que sea, todo bajo la luna
I've never seen the world, I've never seen the world
Nunca he visto el mundo, nunca he visto el mundo
The way I see it with you
De la manera que lo veo contigo
You're rose-colored glasses
Eres las gafas de color de rosa
That I love looking through
A través de las que me encanta mirar
You're the moment before it passes
Eres el momento antes de que pase
That I keep holding onto
Al que sigo aferrándome
So why don't we just stay a while and waste a little time?
Así que ¿por qué no nos quedamos un rato y perdemos un poco el tiempo?
Listen to the radio and hold each other tight
Escuchemos la radio y abracémonos fuerte el uno al otro
Talk about whatever, everything under the moon
Hablemos de lo que sea, todo bajo la luna
I've never seen the world, I've never seen the world
Nunca he visto el mundo, nunca he visto el mundo
The way I see it with you, mmm
De la manera que lo veo contigo, mmm
The way I see it with you
De la manera que lo veo contigo

Lyrics: Alex Hall - Never Seen the World (feat. Vince Gill)
[Verse 1]
I’ve been down this road a thousand times
I’ve never seen it like this, I haven’t seen the sunshine in a while
But I do right now
I can see for miles like I never could
I don’t need to look back 'cause it’ll never be half as good
As it is right now
[Chorus]
Why don’t we just stay a while and waste a little time
Listen to the radio and hold each other tight
Talk about whatever, everything under the moon
I’ve never seen the world, I’ve never seen the world
The way I see it with you
[Verse 2]
There’s something in the air, there’s something in your touch
You set my heart on fire, oh I’m gonna burn up
Before I get enough
[Chorus]
Why don’t we just stay a while and waste a little time
Listen to the radio and hold each other tight
Talk about whatever, everything under the moon
I’ve never seen the world, I’ve never seen the world
The way I see it with you
[Bridge]
You’re rose colored glasses that I love looking through
You’re the moment before it passes that I keep holding on to
[Chorus]
So why don’t we just stay a while and waste a little time
Listen to the radio and hold each other tight
Talk about whatever, everything under the moon
I’ve never seen the world, I’ve never seen the world
The way I see it with you
