Bowling for Soup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or maybe its just that my bed has grown
I never noticed it before but you were there
So how was I to know
That this single bed
Was always meant for two
Not just anyone
And now your halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind
Nothin' seems to fill the hole
That I have since you left my side
You'll always be my little girl
Though I can't hold you tonight
And now your halfway round the world
And I'm just a day behind
I wake up in the night
I turn around and find that you're not there
I just like to watch you sleep and lay by you
I love to feel you near
I think I'm going crazy
Everyday confusion starts to grow
I never noticed it before
But you were there so how was I to know
That this single bed
Was always meant for two
Not just anyone
It was meant for me and you
In the song "Belgium" by Bowling for Soup, the lyrics are about missing someone who is far away. The singer of the song is feeling small and alone since their partner left. The singer describes their bed feeling too big for just one person, and they realize that it was meant for them and their partner. The loneliness is also felt when the singer wakes up in the middle of the night to find that their partner is not there. They miss the comfort of having them close by and watching them sleep.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as it emphasizes the distance between the singer and their partner. The singer is just a day behind their partner, who is halfway around the world. The absence of their partner has left a hole in their heart that cannot be filled by anything else. The singer acknowledges that their partner will always be their little girl, but they can't hold them tonight.
The song is a bittersweet exploration of the emotions of missing someone who is far away. It captures the feelings of loneliness and longing in a way that is relatable to many people. The lyrics are delivered with heartfelt emotion, making the song a powerful expression of love and loss.
