About You
Cooter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was always obvious
What was between the two of us
I was with you all the time
Everything that I adore
No girl could have anymore
But now you're never around
So I've been?
Wasting all my time without you
And spending all my days without you
I know sometimes that
It doesn't work that way

I always like to think
That you'd be back someday
It's something in the things you do
That make me so in love with you
I see how you act with me
And if you weren't with him for so long
I wouldn't have to write this song
I wish it was me you met all those years ago




That's not the way some things go
I should have been the one you got to love and know

Line by Line Meaning

It was always obvious
I knew from the very beginning that we had a special connection


What was between the two of us
Our relationship was unique and different from anything else


I was with you all the time
We used to spend a lot of time together and it meant the world to me


Everything that I adore
You were everything that I ever wanted and more


No girl could have anymore
I felt like I hit the jackpot with you and I didn't need anyone else


But now you're never around
Ever since you left, I feel like a part of me is missing


So I've been?
I've been lost and unsure of what to do with myself


Wasting all my time without you
I can't seem to do anything productive without you by my side


And spending all my days without you
Every day feels like a never-ending battle without you in my life


I know sometimes that
I understand that things don't always go as we plan them to


It doesn't work that way
Despite my wishes, I can't change what has already happened


I always like to think
I hold onto the hope that things will get better and we'll be reunited


That you'd be back someday
I long for the day when you come back into my life


It's something in the things you do
There's something special about you that I can't quite put my finger on


That make me so in love with you
I am head over heels in love with you and I always will be


I see how you act with me
The way you treat me makes me feel special and appreciated


And if you weren't with him for so long
If only fate had brought us together earlier, I could have saved you from your current situation


I wouldn't have to write this song
This song is a testament to how much I miss you and how much you mean to me


I wish it was me you met all those years ago
I often imagine what could have been if we had met earlier and fallen in love


That's not the way some things go
Unfortunately, some things are out of our control and we have to accept them as they are


I should have been the one you got to love and know
I truly believe that I am the one meant to be with you and that we would have been perfect for each other
