Every Other Way
BT feat. 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 BT feat. JES's song Every Other Way express the need for love, affection and the longing to be close to someone. The singer questions whether the person they're talking to feels a strain between them or thinks that they might forget about their love. The lover’s warmth and love is compared to radiating light which grows stronger, the farther away the singer goes.


The singer then asks whether the person relies on them, and waits up for them all night. They wish they could be there for their lover whenever they need them. The singer acknowledges that they can’t stay away for too long because they need the warmth and love of their partner. The chorus then talks about the importance of not wasting time, not shutting out the singer, and not waiting another day. The singer pleads for the chance to be heard, for the chance to say what needs to be said because it may be the only opportunity they have. They want to be held tight because they’ve expressed their needs and desires to their lover in every way possible but they haven't been able to find their partner.


In conclusion, Every Other Way is an emotionally charged song that describes the love and longing for a lover’s affection. The singer's heartfelt plea for love and being heard by the lover in what could be the last chance puts the listener into a vulnerable state of mind. The heart-wrenching chorus reflects the sincere emotion of the vocalist, empowering the song’s message tenfold. In a sense, Every Other Way is a song about risking and overcoming the fear of showing vulnerability in order to open up to receive and give affection.

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.

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.
