Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na
Oh, been trying to let it go
Trying to keep my eyes closed
Trying to keep it just like before
Don’t wanna tell you what it is
Oh wee it felt so serious
Got me thinking just too much
I wanna set it off, but
It’s this 1 thing that’s got me trippin
It’s this 1 thing that’s got me trippin (you did)
This 1 thing my soul may be feeling
It’s this 1 thing you did oh oh
It’s this 1 thing that caught me slippin
It’s this 1 thing I want to admit it (you did)
This 1 thing and I was so with it
It’s this 1 thing you did oh oh
Hey, we don’t know each other well
so why I keep pickin' up my cell?
Memories just keep ringing bells
Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh
Hear voices I don’t want to understand
My car keys are jingling in my hand
My high heels are clicking towards your door.
Oh oh, Oh oh, Oh
It’s this 1 thing that’s got me trippin
It’s this 1 thing that’s got me trippin (you did)
This 1 thing my soul may be feeling
It’s this 1 thing you did oh oh
It’s this 1 thing that’s caught me slippin
It’s this 1 thing I want to admit it (you did)
This 1 thing and I was so with it
It’s this 1 thing you did oh oh
Maybe I just can’t believe it
It’s this one thing you did oh oh
I can’t deny, tired of trying
Nothin' left to do but to keep on seein' you
I’m hoping you can keep a secret
For me, for me, for me
But what you did, yeah
It’s this 1 thing that’s got me trippin
It’s this 1 thing that’s got me trippin (you did)
This 1 thing my soul may be feeling
It’s this 1 thing you did oh oh
It’s this 1 thing that’s caught me slippin
It’s this 1 thing I want to admit it (you did)
This 1 thing and I was so with it
It’s this 1 thing you did oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, oh
Na, na, na, na, na
It’s this 1 thing that’s got me trippin
It’s this 1 thing that’s got me trippin (you did)
This 1 thing my soul may be feeling
It’s this 1 thing you did oh oh
It’s this 1 thing that’s caught me slippin
It’s this 1 thing I want to admit it (you did)

The song "Whispers" by Cath Baxter describes a person who is trying to let go of something or someone in their past but can't. They are trying to keep their eyes closed and keep things as they were before, when they were together. The times they spent together were carefree and they never even had to speak about anything but now that it's over, there's this one thing that is constantly on their mind. This one thing makes them trip and feel like it's catching up with them.
They don't want to admit what it is that is bothering them but it's starting to feel serious. Every time they hear their phone ring, they wish it was the person they miss. They keep thinking about what they did and how it made them feel, even though they know they shouldn't. They keep making excuses for themselves and trying to pretend like everything is okay but deep down, they know it's not. Even their car keys and high heels are clicking towards the door of the person they miss.
The chorus of the song keeps repeating "this one thing that's got me trippin'" which refers to the one thing that the person they miss did which has made them feel this way. The song implies that this person did something that changed everything and made it impossible for the singer to move on.
Overall, this song describes the internal struggle of a person who is trying to move on from someone but can't because of one thing that they did. The lyrics are simple but effective in conveying the message of the song.

♥This one comes and this one goes
So here we are across the road
In whispers, in whispers
You say: let it go, let it go home
Taking all our time we rode
Through the town where we grew old
Our stories and pictures
Oh we let them go, let them go home
Oh, whistles
Oh, I have seen your beauty grow
Where all this fades, you shine in gold
Our love will be legend
If we let it go, let it go home ♥

Our love will be legend

Damn .. it’s been 8 years now, last time i heard it my brother was around, he took his own life without us noticing that his soul was slowly fading away because he was always laughing, he was dealing with severe depression and anxiety, but it was already too late to help him, always check on your love ones you’ll never know how much they need this, rip brother you will never be forgotten. 🕊️
