JR. THOMAS AND THE VOLCANOS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you're gone
All the tears in my eyes they wont desappear
But you're gone
I thought maybe one day
You and I were gonna be like in the old days
Can we do it again
Every memory's a movie that we both made
It makes me sick to think it through
Tell me why
You don't miss it the way I do
Don't tell me that
You don't miss
All those nights
Those memories
Stucked up in mi mind every night and day
But you're gone
All the tears in my eyes they wont desappear
But you're gone
Everything you said
Everything I said
Ohhh
Stucked up in my mind everynight and Day
But you're gone
I thought maybe one day
We'll be ready to forget about this hole thing
But, tell me that it's okey
To keep waiting for you or just keep on going
Don't tell me that
You don't miss
All those nights
Those memories
Stucked up in my mind every night and day
But you're gone
All the tears in my eyes they won't desappear
But you're gone
Everything you said
Everything I said
Ohhh
Stucked up in my mind every night and day
But you're gone
Ohhh
Stucked up in my mind every night and day
But you're gone
(Gone)
(Ohhh)
Stucked up in my mind everynight and day
But you're gone
All the tears in my hear they wont desappear
But you're gone
Everything you said
Everythign I said
Ohhh
Stucked up in my mind everynight and day
But you're gone
Ohhh
Stucked up in my mind every night and day
But you're gone
The lyrics of Jr. Thomas & The Volcanos's song Til You're Gone speak of the importance of love and its role in defining who we are as individuals. The opening lines, "You're nobody till somebody loves you, You're nobody till somebody cares" highlight the value that we place on validation and affection from others. While material wealth and accolades may be impressive, they cannot replace the warmth and security that love provides. This sentiment is further emphasized in the lines "You might be king, you might possess, the world and its gold, But gold won't bring you happiness, when you're growing old". The idea that success and status are not enough to bring true joy and fulfillment is a recurring theme in many songs in the soul genre, and is echoed in this tune.
The lines "The world still is the same, You'll never change it, As sure as the stars shine above" suggest that while we may strive for and achieve great things, the world remains a constant and unchanging place. We, as individuals, do not have the power to alter this fact. The ultimate message of the song, however, is one of hope and encouragement. "You're nobody till somebody loves you, So find yourself somebody to love" is a call to action, a reminder that while external achievements may be impressive, they cannot replace the importance of interpersonal relationships and connections.
