Every Moment
Jamestown Story Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all we ever wanted
So how did this friend to me become my enemy
Haunting me with days that you're gone
Oh where, oh where
Could my angel be
I told you I loved you
I hope that you wake up and come back to me
Cause I'm tired to miss every moment
Smile, ur smile still paints every room that you've
Ever walked in
Breath, I can't breath when the air taste so different
To me
Oh where, oh where
Could my angel be
I told you I loved you
And then set you free
I hope that you wake up and come back to me
Cause I'm tired to miss every moment
All the times that we had
All the nights that we shared
All the things we would do
All the thinking of you
Every hour that we gave
All the plans that we made
Now ur gone and my world
Has been spinning backwards since
Spinning backwords since
Spinning~
Oh where, oh where
Could my angel be
I told you I loved you
And then set you free
I hope that you wake up and come back to me
Cause I'm tired to miss every moment
I hope that you wake up and come back to me
Cause I'm tired to miss every moment
I'm so tired to miss every moment
The song "Every Moment" by Jamestown Story explores the theme of loss and longing. The lyrics describe the singer's regret of letting go of someone they loved, only to realize how much they miss them after they're gone. The first stanza establishes the bittersweet irony of time - something they had in abundance with their loved one but now it's the very thing tormenting them. The line "Haunting me with days that you're gone" is a poignant representation of how someone's absence can be more palpable than their presence. The chorus repeats the sentiment of missing their loved one in every moment, making the longing even more intense.
The second stanza portrays the impact the loved one had on the singer's life. Their smile and presence filled every room and their absence made everything different. The use of "breath" instead of "breathe" could be intentional as the singer feels like they're suffocating without their loved one. The repetition of "oh where, oh where / could my angel be" adds a touch of innocence to the lyrics, like a child yearning for something they lost. The final stanza laments all the good times they shared and how their world has been thrown off balance since their loved one left. The line "spinning backwards since" is a powerful image of how the singer feels lost and disoriented without their loved one.
Overall, the song encapsulates the universal feeling of regretting something only after it's gone. The singer's desperate plea for their loved one to come back adds to the emotional weight of the song. The slow and melancholic melody complements the lyrics, further emphasizing the sadness and longing in the song.
