Blues
Eddplant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I could have spent with you
When no-one’s got a thing to say
That beats what you must say to pull me through
You’ve only got to nod your head or take my hand
And everything’s alright
I’m wishing you were here right now
To take away my blues tonight
I know that I’ve been busy lately
I don’t mean to push your love away
I’m trying to be there for you
Have time for you at least once every couple of days
But your eyes say “I miss you”
And your lips say “Goodnight”
I just want you tell me we’ll be alright
Yeah, we’ll be alright
Alright

I'm thinking 'bout the time I spend alone
Reflecting on the moments where I’ve been without you
That I could have spent with you
Contemplating on the missed opportunities I had to be with you
When no-one's got a thing to say
During the moments where words fail to express emotions
That beats what you must say to pull me through
Nothing can compare to the comfort and relief I feel from hearing your voice
You've only got to nod your head or take my hand
The smallest actions of yours can make all my worries disappear
And everything's alright
With you by my side, everything seems okay
I'm wishing you were here right now
Longing for your presence at present
To take away my blues tonight
To relieve me of my sadness in the night
I know that I've been busy lately
Acknowledging that I’ve been preoccupied recently
I don't mean to push your love away
Not intending to distance myself from your love
I'm trying to be there for you
Making the effort to be available for you
Have time for you at least once every couple of days
Devoting a portion of each day to spend time with you
But your eyes say 'I miss you'
Sensing the emotions you’re holding back through the sadness in your eyes
And your lips say 'Goodnight'
As you bid farewell to me for the night with a simple 'Goodnight'
I just want you tell me we'll be alright
Needing reassurance from you that everything will be okay
Yeah, we'll be alright
Agreeing with the reassurance that we will overcome any obstacles together
