How Long
JELLY ROCKET Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How long
I haven't seen you for a while
How long
Since the day we met

Cause you
Are the only one for me
And you
Are the only one I see

So would you please
Don't you runaway from me
Or baby
You disappear
I'll be drown in my tears

Cause you
Are the only one for me
And you
Are the only one I see

Do you know
That I wrote this stupid song for you
And do you know
That I miss you so

Cause you (ooh)
Are the only one for me
And you (ooh)
Are the only one
The only one

Cause you
Are the only one for me (for me)
And you (you)
Are the only one I see (the only one I see)

Baby I think you should know
That I miss you so
And I
And I want you right here

I'll never ever let you go
So please
Please don't go




How long
I haven't seen you for a while

The opening lines of the song, "How long / I haven't seen you for a while / How long / Since the day we met," create a sense of distance and separation between the singer and the person they are addressing. The repeated refrain, "Cause you / Are the only one for me / And you / Are the only one I see," conveys a deep sense of love and devotion towards this person.

How long, I haven't seen you for a while
นานแค่ไหน ที่ฉันไม่ได้พบเธอ How long, since the day we met
นานแค่ไหน ตั้งแต่วันที่เราพบเจอ
Cause you are the only one for me
เพราะเธอคือคนเดียวสำหรับฉัน
And you are the only one I see
และเธอคือคนเดียวที่ฉันมอง
So would you please, don't you runaway from me
ดังนั้นอย่าหนีฉันไป
Or baby if you disappear, I'll be drown in my tears
ที่รัก ถ้าเธอหายไป ฉันจะต้องจมอยู่ภายใต้น้ำตา
Cause you are the only one for me
เพราะเธอคือคนเดียวสำหรับฉัน
And you are the only one I see
และเธอคือคนเดียวที่ฉันเห็น
And will you know, that I wrote this stupid song for you
และเธอจะได้รู้ว่า ฉันได้เขียนเพลงโง่ๆนี้ให้เธอ
And do u know, that I miss u so
และเธอจะได้รู้ว่าฉันคิดถึงเธอ
Cause you are the only one for me
เพราะเธอคือคนเดียวสำหรับฉัน
And you are the only one, the only one
และเธอคือคนเดียว แค่คนเดียว
Cause you are the only one for me
เพราะเธอคือคนเดียวสำหรับฉัน
And you are the only one I see
และเธอคือคนเดียวที่ฉันมอง
Baby I think you should know that I miss u so
