Always
Daniel Caesar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, baby
There will always be space for you and me
Right where you left it
And just maybe
Enough time will pass
We'll look back and laugh
Just don't forget it
And maybe I'm wrong
For writing this song
Losing my head over you

And I'll be here
'Cause we both know how it goes
I don't want things to change
I pray they stay the same, always
And I don't care
If you're with somebody else
I'll give you time and space
Just know I'm not a phase
I'm always, ways, ways
Always, ways, ways
I'm always, ways, ways

Pretty lady, used to walk with me
Down Bloor street, oh, what a time
And I still remember the fussin', the fightin, the fuckin', the lyin'
So fine, you'll always be mine

And maybe I'm wrong (hey babe, you could)
For writing this song (write me a song)
Losing my head over you

And I'll be here
'Cause we both know how it goes
I don't want things to change
I pray they stay the same, always
And I don't care
If you're with somebody else
I'll give you time and space
Just know I'm not a phase
I'm always, ways, ways
Always, ways, ways
I'm always, ways, ways

Always, count on it, sure as the stars in the sky
Always, you can count on it, sure as the sun will rise




Always, my love for you ain't goin' nowhere
Always, I will be here

This song started playing on my phone accidentally when I visited my grandpa at the hospital for the last time. The line “I don’t want things to change” echoed through my head as I held his hand for the last time. Every time I listen to this song my chest aches, but it simultaneously makes me feel closer to my dear grandpa. I’ll always love him and I really appreciate Daniel for writing this masterpiece.

@goldengoddess7469

I’m so appreciative and glad we still have artist like you Daniel!❤

@Carbangul

hi! if you love daniel and this song as much as I do and are looking for new songs to vibe to, I found this the other day that I would reccomend to anyone who wants to cry, lol. here it is and enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytHVLmATj18

@janryorceo877

This song helped me to carry on after confessing my love to the person who doesn’t love me back. This song reminds me the acceptance of the fact that when you sincerely love the person, you’re not asking for reciprocation of the love you’re hoping for. You give them ample time and space to decide. And respect their decision no matter what. Wish you all the best, Ced. Cheers! 🥂

@chummymanuel5653

so genuine, hoping na mahalin ka rin niya, walang impossible kuys hehe <33

It shouldnt be that hard, dont give them time & space, just simply leave & go no contact. You're gonna waste your time & ruin your future relationships by lingering on to someone who doesnt want you. In fact by ignoring them & no longer giving them your attention, they might end up missing ur attention & realized what they missed out on, but even if they do that, you gotta be strong enough not to fall for the trap. It wont ever work out so save yourself some time & energy. If you keep being there for her, she's just gonna continue to use you for emotional support while she dates other guys & make you feel like shit. That aint love.
