Every Other Way
BT; BT & Jes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it strained, when I call you
Or do you think, that I might forget
oh your love, is radiating
The farther away
I go.

Do you count, on me now
And do you wait, up for me all night
I wish I could run, to you when you need me
You know I can't be far
for long

[Chorus]
Heart don't fail me now
Cause there is no time to waste
Don't shut me out, we shouldn't wait another dayâ?¦
I've searched for you, on my hearts high speed chase
Hear me out, may be the only chance to say




Hold me now
I've said it Every Other Way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Every Other Way" are a pleading call for reassurance and affection. The singer of the song is asking their lover if their love is still strong, if they still believe in it and if they will be there for them when they need it. The first lines illustrate the insecurity of the singer, who is worried that their love might not be enough or might not be reciprocated. The reference to the radiant love emphasizes the fact that the love they share is strong and beautiful, but also distant, as the singer seems to be away.


The second verse shifts to a more proactive approach; the singer is asking if their lover is waiting for them and if they can count on them. The longing to be close to each other is palpable in the wish to run to the other when they need them. The chorus is a plea not to waste any time, to hold on tight, and to communicate honestly. The line about the "hearts high speed chase" captures the urgency and intensity of the emotions at play. The final line, "I've said it Every Other Way," seems to suggest that the singer has tried to express their love and feelings in different ways but that this might be the last chance to get it right.


Overall, "Every Other Way" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the complexities and doubts of being in a romantic relationship.

Such an inspiring piece of music, brilliantly produced too. Jes is a fabulous singer/writer too. Everything this guy touches is gold. Pretty much the benchmark to which I aspire.

@OfficialJES

I thank you so much John for that!! x <3

@BWcapture

It is extremely unique. It's one of those songs that I can hear a hundred times but every time I come back to it sounds almost as fresh as the first time.
