Gratitude
Enrosehouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I told you all my secrets
And you put your hand in mine
They say in life, in love, the road is never smooth
But when you called me baby
I thought I'd found my truth
Well I'm moving on
Time keeps moving on
It was not enough
Cause now you're gone
I need you closer, so much more
Babe you gravitate my body like nothing else before
But it's raining up in New York, while I'm stuck in LA
I didn't want to leave you, but I knew you'd never stay
So I'm moving on
Time keeps moving on
All I could do
Was thank God for you
Now that you're gone
And I'm moving on
Time keeps moving on
Do I cross your mind
Once in while
Since I've been gone?
The lyrics of Enrosehouse's song "Gratitude" tell a story of love, loss, and moving forward. The first verse expresses the feeling of being emotionally awakened when the singer shares their deepest secrets with their beloved. The line "Honey you lit me up inside" signifies the joy and vulnerability that comes with opening up to someone. The connection between the two is further emphasized when they hold hands, symbolizing unity and intimacy.
However, the lyrics also acknowledge the inevitable challenges that come with love. The line "They say in life, in love, the road is never smooth" highlights the common understanding that relationships face obstacles and hardships. This notion is further explored when the singer realizes that their love wasn't enough to keep the relationship intact. The chorus reveals that the beloved has left, and the singer is left yearning for them to come back. The lyrics convey longing and desire for their presence, emphasizing the gravity of their connection by stating that the beloved "gravitates" their body like nothing else before.
The song takes a melancholic turn in the second verse as the singer reflects on the circumstances that led to their departure. They mention the physical distance between them, with the rain symbolizing their emotional state and the separation between New York and LA representing the figurative distance between their hearts. Despite not wanting to leave, the singer understood that the beloved would never stay, implying that the relationship was doomed from the start.
The song's recurring theme is about moving on. The singer acknowledges that time keeps moving forward and they must do the same. They express gratitude for the experience and the love they shared, recognizing that gratitude is all they can offer now that the beloved is no longer present. The final lines leave the listener wondering if the singer still occupies the beloved's thoughts in their absence.
Overall, "Gratitude" is a bittersweet song that explores the complexities of love and the importance of appreciating the impact someone has had on your life, even if they are no longer by your side.

Honey you lit me up inside
You brought happiness and light into my life
When I told you all my secrets
When I trusted you enough to share my deepest secrets
And you put your hand in mine
You showed affection and support by holding my hand
They say in life, in love, the road is never smooth
It is commonly known that life and love often have challenges
But when you called me baby
But when you referred to me as 'baby'
I thought I'd found my truth
I believed I had discovered my ultimate reality or meaning
Well I'm moving on
Now I am continuing with my life
Time keeps moving on
The passage of time continues to advance
I loved so much
I had such strong feelings of love
It was not enough
However, my love was insufficient
Cause now you're gone
Because you are no longer here with me
I need you closer, so much more
I yearn for your presence and affection even more intensely
Babe you gravitate my body like nothing else before
Darling, you attract and draw me in physically like never before
But it's raining up in New York, while I'm stuck in LA
However, there is rain in New York while I am feeling trapped in LA
I didn't want to leave you, but I knew you'd never stay
I did not want to depart from you, but I understood that you would never remain
So I'm moving on
Thus, I am progressing forward
All I could do
The only thing I was capable of doing
Was thank God for you
Was expressing gratitude to God for your presence in my life
Now that you're gone
Now that you are no longer here
Do I cross your mind
Do I ever come to your thoughts
Once in a while
Occasionally
Since I've been gone?
Since I have been absent from your life?
