Weekends
Amy Shark Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ban me from sleeping pills and codeine
I'm at my best, just even knowing
You're coming around, you're coming around
You switch from vodka, lime and soda
And I hate every girl that's ever known ya
And you know a lot about me, it's more than I can stand

Only on weekends we feel the love
Only on weekends this happens to us
Only on weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you

And I took your number quicker than my next breath
I call your house phone just to listen, to hear what your life might sound like
What your life might sound like

Only on weekends we feel the love
Only on weekends this happens to us
Only on weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you
Only on weekends we feel the same
Only on weekends is what we do
Only on weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you

There's a place for us
There's a tiny little room for two
And it's crystallised in my mind, that tiny little room
With you
Only on weekends

Only on weekends we feel the love
Only on weekends this happens to us
Only on weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you
For anyone else, but you
Only on weekends




Only on weekends
On weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Amy Shark's "Weekends" reveal a complicated relationship between the singer and the subject of the song. The opening lines suggest that the singer has struggled with addiction, and that the subject has taken an active role in helping them stay sober. The line "I'm at my best, just even knowing / You're coming around" implies that the singer values the subject's presence and support, even if they don't always see eye-to-eye.


As the song continues, the singer expresses jealousy and possessiveness towards the subject, revealing a deep emotional connection. The lines "And I hate every girl that's ever known ya / And you know a lot about me, it's more than I can stand" suggest that the singer is scared of losing the subject's attention or affection. However, the chorus reveals that this intense love is limited to the weekends, and that the singer is unable to sustain it throughout the week.


The repeated line "Only on weekends we feel the love / Only on weekends this happens to us / Only on weekends I have no room for anyone else, but you" reinforces the idea that this relationship is fleeting and temporary. The bridge of the song paints a vivid picture of a cozy, intimate space that the singer shares with the subject, but the specificity of the location (a "tiny little room for two") underscores the fragility and impermanence of their bond. Overall, "Weekends" is a poignant exploration of the fear, envy, and longing that often accompany intense romantic attachments.

@bigtux11

I love how direct and open she is about her problems and her neediness. Who wants a lover that is constantly detached, cold and aloof? Not I. Give me someone who values love. Someone like Amy Shark.

@Dain_Bramaged

Amen.
