Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Yeah
Yeah
If only
Things could've been different
What should I say
Other than I wished that you stayed
The things that I felt
The time we spent
The things I wished I didn't say
If only things could've been different
It hurts I still got these feelings for you
What can I say
I'm a fool for love
I still think of what we could've been
Each day your still on my mind
Reminiscing of the good times
I'll always care for you
I just want to say
Girl I wish things
Would've worked out
The way we planned out
But it's okay
It's alright
Let's enjoy this night
But it's okay
It's alright
We had a good time
But it's okay
It's alright
Everything will be alright
It's okay
It's alright
Girl I'll be alright
Here we go again
And again
Back to fighting again
We break up to make up
Knowing we can't make our minds up
Why are we here now
What are we doing
Drinking to ease the pain
Knowing nothing will change
These feelings are strong
Waiting for the day there gone
Each day your still on my mind
Reminiscing of the good times
I'll always care for you
I just want to say
Girl I wish things
Would've worked out
The way we planned out
But it's okay
It's alright
Let's enjoy this night
But it's okay
It's alright
Let's just enjoy this night
Girl I wish things
Would've worked out
The way we planned out
But it's okay
It's alright
Let's enjoy this night
The song "It's Alright" by Blue is about a couple who have had their fair share of fights and disagreements, but despite all that, they still deeply care for each other. The song seems to start with regret, as the singer wishes things could have been different between him and his partner. He goes on to say that he still has feelings for her, but knows that they can't seem to make up their minds about their relationship.
The chorus brings a sense of acceptance, as the singer acknowledges that things may not have gone as planned, but they can still make the most of their time together. He recognizes that they had a good time, despite the ups and downs, and that everything will eventually be alright.
The second verse talks about the cyclical nature of their relationship, where they break up and make up, all while feeling like they can't change anything. Despite the pain, they still hold onto their memories of the good times they shared. The singer repeats that he just wishes things could have worked out, but ultimately, he is okay with the present moment, and they should enjoy their time together.
Overall, the lyrics express a bittersweet sentiment about a relationship that was not perfect, but the singer is willing to make the most of it and cherish the memories they have.
