Every Other Way
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

The chorus reflects the urgency of the situation, emphasizing that there is no time to waste and that they shouldn't wait for another day.

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.
