Every Other Way
BT featuring 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 opening lines of "Every Other Way" deal with a common insecurity we all share - the fear of being forgotten. The singer wonders if their call is seen as a burden or if they're deemed forgettable. Despite these doubts, the singer's love continues to shine through, expressed in the line "your love is radiating". This is a testament to how strong their feelings are and how important it is to maintain the bond between them, even as distance threatens to pull them apart. This distance, however, does not reduce the urgency of their situation.


The pre-chorus deals with the singer's doubts about being enough for their partner. They wonder if their partner still waits up for them all night, and it's clear that they wish they could be there for their partner whenever they're needed. It's as if they're asking for reassurance that they're still valued and loved despite time and space separating them.


The chorus encourages our hearts to be strong and not fail us in moments of need. The stakes are too high, and there's no time to waste. The singer won't let their partner shut them out, as they've been searching for them everywhere in their heart's high-speed chase. These lines may allude to the singer trying to find their partner in other people, trying to fill the void they feel when they're apart. Ultimately, the singer pleads with their partner to hold them now, which could be seen as a plea for closeness or a need for reassurance.

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.
