"Grapejuice" almost seems like a little dream of Harry spending time with his favorite person and a good bottle of wine, what grapejuice really is, to hide away from the stress of his daily life. He dreams of escaping from his hectic life with just his lover and “a bottle of rouge” (red wine).
Grapejuice
Harry Styles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(One, two)
Yesterday, it finally came, a sunny afternoon
I was on my way to buy some flowers for you (ooh)
Thought that we could hide away in a corner of the heath
There's never been someone who's so perfect for me
"Give me somethin' old and red"
I pay for it more than I did back then
There's just no gettin' through
Without you
A bottle of rouge
Just me and you
Sittin' in the garden, I'm a couple glasses in
I was tryna count up all the places we've been
You're always there, so don't overthink
I'm so over whites and pinks
I pay for it more than I did back then
There's just no gettin' through
Without you
A bottle of rouge
Just me and you
1982
Just me and you
There's just no gettin' through
The grape juice blues

In "Grapejuice", Harry Styles sings about a sunny afternoon spent expressing his love for someone special by buying them flowers and sharing a bottle of red wine, reminiscing about their travels together. The lyrics seem to convey the excitement and anticipation leading up to a romantic encounter, where he looks forward to spending time with his lover, deeply appreciating and cherishing their bond. However, the song also alludes to the singer's feelings of insecurity and hesitation as he reflects on their relationship, suggesting that he may be holding back from expressing his love fully.
The chorus of the song, "There's just no getting through without you, a bottle of rouge just me and you," highlights the idea that it is only in the presence of his companion that he feels truly alive and happy. The focus on the "grape juice blues" at the end of the song seems to invoke a sense of melancholy, perhaps referencing how the fleeting moments of joy shared with a loved one can also bring a tinge of sadness at the thought of them eventually coming to an end.
Overall, "Grapejuice" portrays a sentimental and wistful tone, with Harry Styles showcasing his ability to craft poignant lyrics that touch on the complexity of human emotions and relationships.

Yesterday, it finally came, a sunny afternoon
After waiting for a long time, a sunny afternoon finally arrived
I was on my way to buy some flowers for you (ooh)
I was going to buy flowers to present to you
Thought that we could hide away in a corner of the heath
I had the idea that we could hide in a secluded area of natural landscape
There's never been someone who's so perfect for me
I have never found someone as ideal as you
But I got over it and I said
But I moved on from the thought and expressed
"Give me somethin' old and red"
that I wanted to buy something that is old and colored red
I pay for it more than I did back then
The cost of it has increased since the last time I bought it
There's just no gettin' through
I just can't get over it
Without you
Without you beside me
A bottle of rouge
A bottle of red wine
Just me and you
Only you and I
Sittin' in the garden, I'm a couple glasses in
Sitting in the garden, having had a few glasses of wine
I was tryna count up all the places we've been
I was attempting to recall all the places we have visited together
You're always there, so don't overthink
You are always present, so don't worry too much
I'm so over whites and pinks
I am tired of the colors white and pink
1982
The year 1982, with no specific significance mentioned
The grape juice blues
The feeling of sadness I experience when I'm without you, symbolized by grape juice

The whole album feels so nostalgic. While listening to it, it feels like i'm in an old house and the songs were playing from a very far place, you can't pinpoint where it plays and feels like its in your head. You touch the old stuff you left, the collected dust, the tables and cloth draped around the furnitures. The smell of soil and old wood emanating in the whole place. It feels like it. I love the album and now it got me thinking why it was named "Harry's House". It literally took me to places.
@werenothingbutyouwantnothi6843
I think nobody could top this explanation for Harry's House. You nailed it
@Little_15
For me it feels like perfect soundtrack for the one in a lifetime journey. Driving the car and listening to those smooth sounds...
@broadwayzjm5257
This is such a good description. Also I feel like the house is by the beach.
@Tedsterr_
For me it feels like sitting and reading in an old empty house, next to the beach with the windows open. Curtains blowing in the wind and sun shining through the door and windows. A large fan blowing and old radio playing this song. 💕
@harmanjeetkaur8301
