How'm I Doing
Eric Nam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're the one I call when I'm
Thinkin bout nothing at all you're
You're the one I need when
I'm feeling good about anything I think
You're the one I reach for
When I wanna celebrate something
You're the one I look for
In everything everywhere and I

Oh I'm doing my best
It don't always work
Cause I get distracted
And I know it hurts
Cause you love so easy
And you put me first
And so while I have you

I'm tryna be the man you need
I'm tryna be keep you next to me
Oh I'm tryna be
The one you call
The one you reach
For anything at all
Oh yeah

Oh, how'm I doing
Oh, how'm I doing

Oh I'm tryna be
The one you call
The one you reach
For anything at all
Oh yeah

You're the one I want when I'm
Losing myself in a moment
You're the one I'd run for
Oh I'd step into traffic I know that
You'd be at my front door
Fighting for me
Like you fought for me so many times

Oh I'm doing my best
It don't always work
Cause I get distracted
And I know it hurts
Cause you love so easy
And you put me first
And so while I have you


Oh I'm tryna be the man you need
I'm tryna be keep you next to me
Oh I'm tryna be
The one you call
The one you reach
For anything at all
Oh yeah

Oh, how'm I doing
Oh, how'm I doing

Oh I'm tryna be
The one you call
The one you reach
For anything at all
Oh yeah

So can I
Be the one you call when you're
Thinking bout nothing
And can I
Be the one you reach for
When you haven't been sleeping at all




Can I be
Can I be the one

Losing myself in a moment
I feel lost in my thoughts


You're the one I'd run for
You're the one I'd rush to


Oh I'd step into traffic I know that
Even if it meant stepping into the street amidst cars


You'd be at my front door
You would be by my side


Fighting for me
Defending me


Like you fought for me so many times
As you have done on several occasions


So can I
May I


Be the one you call when you're
Can I be the person you call when


Thinking bout nothing
Your mind is empty


And can I
May I


Be the one you reach for
Can you choose me to be the person you rely on


When you haven't been sleeping at all
When you are unable to sleep


Can I be
Will you let me be


Can I be the one
The person

You're the one I need when I'm
Feeling good about anything I think

When I wanna celebrate something
You're the one I look for
In everything, everywhere and I
Oh, I'm doing my best, it don't always work
'Cause I get distracted and I know it hurts
'Cause you love so easy and you put me first
And so while I have you, oh

Oh I'd step into traffic I know that
You'd be at my front door
Fighting for me like you fought for me so many times
Oh, yeah
Oh, I'm doing my best, it don't always work
'Cause I get distracted and I know it hurts
'Cause you love so easy and you put me first
And so while I have you
