(Jim Webb)
« © '67 Jonathan Tree Music »
By the time you got to Phoenix I was rising
I read the note you left hanging on my door
Once again I read the words that said you're leaving
But you've left me so many times before
And at lounch I gave your best friend a call
He told me that he'd love me for so long now
He's been waiting for you to leave that's all
By the time you make Oklahoma you'll be lonely
You'll remember all the love I gave to you
You'll cry and you'll whisper I'm sorry
But it's too late cause I'd found a love that's true
The lyrics to "Phoenix" by Jackson and Yugyeom depict the emotions of someone who has experienced heartbreak and is moving on. The song tells the story of a person who has decided to leave a relationship, and the singer's reaction to their departure. The lyrics are based on Jim Webb's song, "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," but this version features a more urban pop sound, with beats that are more contemporary.
Throughout the song, the singer describes the journey of the person who is leaving. They mention that by the time the person gets to Phoenix, they will have risen, and by the time they get to Albuquerque, the singer will be at work. The lyrics suggest that the person leaving has done this before, and the singer has resigned themselves to the fact that they will likely return again in the future.
The song ends on a note of finality, with the singer telling the departing person that it is too late to come back, as they have found someone who truly loves them. Overall, "Phoenix" is a song that speaks to the experience of moving on from a relationship and finding true love.
