She
Eric Roberson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up, reached over and noticed that she's not here
If last night was a dream, then life is so unfair
I dug my head in the pillow and suddenly smelled her hair
As I heard her footsteps coming back up the stairs

(Chorus)
She - reminds me that it's alright
She - reminds me that I'm alive
She - reminds me that it's ok
To feel - to feel this way (oh)

I reached out to her and she just slid right in (oh)

The only thing I could ever want is that this never end (oh)
She laid her face under mine so she could breathe my air (oh)
Just in case she drifts to sleep she know I'm there

She - reminds me that it's alright
She - reminds me that I'm alive




She - reminds me that it's ok
To feel - to feel this way

Overall Meaning

The first two lines of the song "I woke up, reached over and noticed that she's not here/If last night was a dream, then life is so unfair" immediately set the tone for the song, conveying a feeling of emptiness and loss. The singer seems to be waking up alone and realizing that the person he is missing is not there with him. He contemplates the possibility that what happened the night before might have been just a dream, which would make him even more sad as he is left with nothing but the memories of the person he longs to be with. The next two lines of the song "I dug my head in the pillow and suddenly smelled her hair/As I heard her footsteps coming back up the stairs" lead the listener to believe that she has just left the room but is coming back.


The chorus of the song is the strongest point in the lyrics, both melodically and lyrically. The word "she" is repeated several times and seems to be the source of the singer's comfort and happiness. It is a reminder to him that things are okay and that he is alive, despite the emptiness he feels when she is not there. It is a nod to the power of love and companionship, particularly when someone is going through a tough time or feeling lost. The final verse of the song "She laid her face under mine so she could breathe my air/Just in case she drifts to sleep she knows I'm there" echoes this sentiment of love and companionship. The singer longs to be close to the person he loves, and to be able to take care of them and make them feel safe and protected.
