About You
Betty & The Bandits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the snow is falling in July
When I don't need to breathe to be alive
That's when I'll stop thinking 'bout you
When you play with fire and don't get burned
When I fall in love and don't get hurt
When I'm not missing everything we were
That's when I'll stop thinking 'bout you
What do I do? I'm still waiting for you
I'm just praying, but I don't believe in
Miracles, like how I felt before
I had nothing more than a feeling
What do I do? I'm still waiting for you
To come crawling to bed like you used to
That's when I'll stop thinking 'bout you
When the sun burns out and the stars are dead
When your voice ain't running through my head
When I fill the void here in my bed
That's when I'll stop thinking 'bout you (stop thinking 'bout you)
You're everywhere, you're in my blood
In every stranger, every song I love
You're in my dreams, you're all I see
Yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah
What do I do? I'm still waiting for you
I'm just praying, but I don't believe in
Miracles, like how I fell before
I had nothing more than a feeling
What do I do? I'm still waiting for you
To come crawling to bed like you used to
That's when I'll stop thinking 'bout you
That's when I'll stop thinking 'bout you
You're everywhere, you're in my blood
In every stranger, every song I love
You're in my dreams, you're all I see
Yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah
You're everywhere, you're in my blood
In every stranger, every song I love
You're in my dreams, you're all I see
Yeah yeah, ah yeah yeah
What do I do? I'm still waiting for you
I'm just praying, but I don't believe in
Miracles, like how I felt before
I had nothing more than a feeling
What do I do? I'm still waiting for you
To come crawling to bed like you used to
That's when I'll stop thinking 'bout you
The lyrics of "About You" by Betty & The Bandits reflect the deep emotional turmoil of someone who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The singer describes a longing for a time when they can finally stop thinking about their former lover. The repetition of the phrase "That's when I'll stop thinking 'bout you" emphasizes the pervasive nature of the thoughts and memories that continue to haunt them.
The singer expresses a sense of disbelief and hopelessness as they wait for a change that may never come. The reference to not believing in miracles suggests a loss of faith in the possibility of a reconciliation or the healing of their heartache. Despite their skepticism, there is a yearning for the past, for the familiarity and comfort that the relationship once provided.
The imagery of natural and cosmic phenomena, such as snow falling in July or the sun burning out, conveys the idea of impossibility and finality. The longing to fill the void left by their absence illustrates the deep emotional impact of the separation and the struggle to find solace or closure.
The repeated refrain of "You're everywhere, you're in my blood" portrays the inescapable presence of the ex-lover in every aspect of the singer's life. The memories and remnants of the past relationship are deeply ingrained in their being, making it difficult to move forward. The final plea for the other person to return and the acknowledgment that only then can they truly stop thinking about them encapsulates the sense of longing and unfinished business that permeates the lyrics.

To come crawling to bed like you used to
To return to the intimacy we once shared
