Twice
James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Twice the intended
In my single bed
For far too long
We've been far too distant
I'm glad you made the descent
We've got the benefit
Of being friends
And the rest
Is the best but we know
It's not the be all and end
Never regretted
Any time we spent
Never gave me
A night laid awake
Wondering what we meant
And I won't pretend
To have it figured out
I'm aware
It's not forever
But it's perfect for now
You've got your problems
And I try to help
Yes I'm familiar
I've struggled with myself myself
I know it's commoner
To go for wealth
But my wish above all else




Is that you love yourself
It's that you love yourself

Overall Meaning

The first verse of James' song "Twice" describes a scenario in which the two lovers have not been close for a long time. James expresses his happiness that his partner has finally come back, and they can enjoy the benefit of being friends while being in a relationship at the same time. However, James acknowledges that their relationship may not last forever but what they have is perfect for now. He assures her by saying that he never regrets any time they have spent together, and he has never been left wondering what he meant to her.


In the second verse, James addresses the fact that he loves her despite her problems, and he tries to help. He indicates that he is familiar with the struggles of self-acceptance and understands what it feels like to struggle with oneself. James suggests that although it is more common to go for material wealth in life, his ultimate wish for his love is that she loves herself. By loving herself, it will benefit their relationship and allow them to grow closer.
