No Shade
Brooke Eden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had to walk out to let you back in
Stuck in a storm of a relationship
Lost my fire
Oh, and I forgot about me for way too long
But it's rolled on
Once you leave the clouds you're under
Ain't it funny how there ain't no rain, all clear
Why'd it take so long to leave you in the rearview mirror?
Now nobody's gonna steal my sunshine
Or turn my blue sky gray
All I know is at the end of the day
Wildflowers grow when there ain't no shade
Instead of catchin' these rays, I was catchin' your lies
Should've listened to my friends, should have known they were right
Now I'm lookin' at a love in a whole new light
'Cause I broke free, it's good to be
So far gone, so past it
They're forcastin'
There ain't no shade 'round here
Once you leave the clouds you're under
Ain't it funny how there ain't no rain, all clear
Why'd it take so long to leave you in the rearview mirror?
Now nobody's gonna steal my sunshine
Or turn my blue sky gray
All I know is at the end of the day
Wildflowers grow when there ain't no shade, oh
No shade, no shade, no shade
Now there ain't no shade 'round here
Once you leave the clouds you're under
Ain't it funny how there ain't no rain, all clear
Why'd it take so long to leave you in the rearview mirror?
Now nobody's gonna steal my sunshine (no nobody)
Or turn my blue sky gray (turn my blue sky gray)
All I know is at the end of the day
Wildflowers grow when there ain't no shade
No shade, no shade, no-oh
When there ain't no shade

How is this woman not seen as one of the TOP female country artists in 2022? Just such phenomenal powerful positive energy. She's walking serotonin, lol.
