Here Without You
Jay Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
And a thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
And you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl
It's only you and me
The miles just keep rolling
As the people leave their way to say hello
And I've heard this life is overrated
And I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby
And you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
And you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl
It's only you and me
Everything I know
And anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls
And when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
And you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl
It's only you and me
The main themes explored in Jay Smith's song "Here Without You" are heartbreak, loss, and the longing for a lost love. The lyrics describe the aftermath of a difficult breakup, and the feelings of loneliness and separation that follow. The singer has been separated from his lover for a hundred days and feels older, colder and unable to look at their relationship in the same way. The miles that separate them disappear in his dreams, and he cannot stop thinking about his lost partner. The chorus repeats this lonely sentiment, with the singer confessing that his lost love is still on his mind, even when they are apart.
The second part of the song takes a more hopeful tone. The miles roll on as people come and go, and the singer hopes that life will get better as they move on. The chorus is repeated again with no change, emphasizing the lingering pain of the separation. But then the final verse suggests that no matter what happens, the singer's love for his lost partner will remain. Even though everything may be lost, his love for this person will always be with him.
Overall, "Here Without You" is a poignant and emotional track that deals with the universal experience of loss and the power of love to transcend separation and distance.
Line by Line Meaning
A hundred days have made me older
I have aged a lot since the last time I saw you
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
Since I laid my eyes on your beautiful face
And a thousand lies have made me colder
I have become less trusting because of all the lies I have heard
And I don't think I can look at this the same
I don't think I can view things in the same way
But all the miles that separate
Despite physical distance
They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I feel closer to you when I dream of you
I'm here without you baby
I am physically separated from you
And you're still on my lonely mind
I constantly think of you and feel lonely without you
I think about you baby
You are always on my mind
And I dream about you all the time
You always show up in my dreams
And you're still with me in my dreams
Even in my dreams, I feel like you are near
And tonight girl
Right now, in this moment
It's only you and me
There is no one else in my thoughts
The miles just keep rolling
The distance between us continues to increase
As the people leave their way to say hello
People pass by me, greeting and leaving, but you are not here
And I've heard this life is overrated
Many people say that life is not as great as it is hyped up to be
And I hope that it gets better as we go
I hope that our lives will get better as we continue on
Everything I know
All that I understand and am familiar with
And anywhere I go
No matter where I am
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
Although it may be difficult, my love for you will remain strong
And when the last one falls
When everything else fails
And when it's all said and done
When everything is over and done with
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
My love for you will still be present despite any challenges
