Where Do I Go From Here
England Dan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lying on a bed of leaves
Watching clouds up through the trees
You said our love was more than time
But it's colder now
The trees are bare and the nights are long
I can't get warm since you've been gone
And I can't stop singing sad songs
(chorus)
Where do I go from here?
Tell me where do I go from here
You said you'd take me through the years
So where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
Tell me where do I go from here
You said you'd take me through the years
So where do I go from here?
Lover's plans
Like falling leaves on windy days
Flutter past and then fly away
I thought I know you oh so well
And I need you now
I need to feel you in the night
I need you smiling so warm and bright
I wish my mind could let you go
(repeat chorus)
The lyrics to "Where Do I Go From Here" by England Dan reflect a sense of longing and loss after a romantic relationship has ended. The opening lines set a nostalgic and melancholic scene, with the singer lying on a bed of leaves during autumn, watching clouds through the bare trees. At one point, the love shared between the singer and their partner was considered timeless and enduring. However, now that the days have grown colder and the nights longer, the absence of the partner leaves the singer unable to find warmth or solace. They find themselves caught in a cycle of sadness, unable to stop singing sad songs that reflect their heartbreak.
The chorus serves as a plea for guidance and direction. The singer is lost and unsure of where to go from here after the ending of the relationship. They had been promised by their partner that they would experience a journey together through the years, but now they are left wondering about their next steps. The repetition of the plea emphasizes the deep sense of confusion and desperation felt by the singer.
In the second verse, the singer compares lover's plans to falling leaves on windy days, fleeting and easily carried away. They express a sense of familiarity with their partner, feeling like they knew them well. The need for their presence is overwhelming, especially during the night. The singer longs to feel their partner's warmth and brightness, wishing they could let go of their memories and move on.
