Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We never done
Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day
Part time love is life round here
We never done
Now we're at square one
And we waited too long
We never done
Part time love is life round here
We never done
Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day
Part time love is life round here
We never done
Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day
Part time love is life round here
We never done
Now we're at square one
And we waited too long
So we're back to square one
So we're back to square one
Part time love is life round here
We never done
Part time love is life round here
We never done
Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day
Part time love is life round here
We never done

Part time love
We never done
Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day
Part time love is life round here

The lyrics to James Blake's song Life Round Here appear to explore the concepts of love and being stuck in a rut. The line "Part time love is life round here" suggests that the characters in the song are not fully committed to each other or to their relationship, and that they may only see each other or have fleeting moments of connection. The repetition of the phrase "We never done" at the end of each verse reinforces this sense of being stuck in a cycle, unable to move forward or fully commit.
The line "Everything feels like touchdown on a rainy day" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the highs and lows of the relationship. A touchdown represents a peak moment of achievement or success, while a rainy day could be seen as a setback or a struggle. Thus, the line suggests that even the small moments of connection between the characters feel like both a victory and a challenge.
The repetition of the phrase "Now we're at square one / And we waited too long / So we're back to square one" at the end of the song suggests that the characters have gone through this cycle before, and that they may have missed their chance to make a real commitment. The repetition of the phrase "Part time love is life round here" throughout the song reinforces this sense of hopelessness and repetition.
Overall, the lyrics to Life Round Here paint a picture of a relationship that is stuck in a cycle of half-hearted commitment and missed opportunities, unable to move forward or fully commit.
