And Then You
Greg Laswell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how my thoughts they let me down
And how my thoughts they spin me 'round
And how my thoughts they let me down
And how my dreams they spin me 'round
And how my dreams they let me down
And how my thoughts they spin me 'round
Then there's you
Then there's you
Then there's you
Then there's you
And how my love it spins me 'round
And how my love it's let me down
And how my thoughts they spin me 'round
And how my thoughts they let me down
Then there's you
Then there's you
Then there's you
Then there's you
You know I know that you know
I've written it on myself if you can't tell
With a melody that climbs and then falls, then falls, then falls
Without you, without you
How my days they spin me 'round
And how today it sets me down
And how my days they spin me 'round
And how today it sets me down
Alongside you
Alongside you
Alongside you
The lyrics to Greg Laswell's song "And Then You" speak to the tumultuous nature of the singer's thoughts and dreams, and how they have let him down in the past. The repetition of lines like "how my thoughts they spin me 'round" and "how my dreams they let me down" emphasize the cyclical nature of these experiences. However, throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of hope and comfort, represented by the repeated refrain of "then there's you." Despite the chaos and disappointment in his life, the singer finds solace and stability in his connection to this other person.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the singer's love for this person, and how it too can be overwhelming and painful at times. The line "how my love it spins me 'round" reflects the all-encompassing nature of this emotion, but once again, the repeated refrain serves as a grounding force that helps to balance out these feelings. The final verse brings things back to the present moment, acknowledging both the unpredictability of life and the comfort that can be found in sharing it with someone else. Ultimately, the song seems to suggest that while life can be chaotic and uncertain, having someone to go through it with makes all the difference.
