What Else
J. Crist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the morning
In the evening
But you need a warning
I'd like to see you
It's a last ditch
C'mon you gotta
Ain't sayin' there's not a catch
It's the only way
Can't fake I know how
Is that all you're gonna let me say?
I'd like to see you
Don't you miss it?
I lied again today
And now I wish that
You'd believe me when I need to
You should be weary, I would if I were you
Can I come along?
I can't take the strain
Now what else is wrong?
Should I take the blame?
I'd like to see you
In the morning
In the evening
But you need a warning
I'd like to see you
Don't you miss it?
Light again today
Now I wish that
You'd believe me
When I need to
You should be weary, i would if I were you
Can't I come along?
I can't take the strain
Now what else is wrong?
Sure, I'll take the blame
Come on out now
It's the only way
Can't fake I know how.
Is that all you're gonna let me say?
You got things to do
So, what else is new?
Won't you give me some?
Bring it back for me
Won't you come and see?
You're the only one
So, what else is new? [Repeat: x2]
You got things to do
So, what else is new?
Won't you give me some?
Bring it back for me
Won't you come and see?
You're the only one x3

I'd like to see you
I desire to spend time with you
In the morning
At the start of the day
In the evening
At the end of the day
But you need a warning
You require advance notice
It's a last ditch
It's a final attempt
C'mon you gotta
Come on, you must
Ain't sayin' there's not a catch
I am not implying there are no downsides
Well, come on out now
Please come out now
It's the only way
It's the sole solution

I cannot pretend I know how to handle this
Is that all you're gonna let me say?
Are you not willing to let me express myself any further?
Don't you miss it?
Do you not yearn for it?
I lied again today
Today, I told a falsehood again
And now I wish that
And currently I desire that

You would trust me when it is important
You should be weary, I would if I were you
You should be cautious, as I would if I were you
Can I come along?
May I join you?
I can't take the strain
I cannot handle the pressure

What other issues are there?
Should I take the blame?
Should I accept responsibility?
Light again today
Today, I was frivolous again
You got things to do
You have tasks to accomplish
So, what else is new?
What else is different from usual?
Won't you give me some?
Will you not share some with me?
Bring it back for me
Return it to me
Won't you come and see?
Will you not visit me?
You're the only one
You are the sole person
