One May Die So Lonely
Jaymay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you walked in the room when the music was playing
When I was lost too, but in my own thoughts
And I could not find you
Tell me your story, I'm listening this time
I can get us some glasses and a bottle of wine
We can sit on the carpet, sit on the table or sit on the moon
You can reach for my hand
You can say what you like
Is just what you just can't stand
It can be your boy or a little old man, be what you want or even nothing at all
Be with me
Why not forgive us quit holding your breath
And reaching with your right hand like it's all that is left
With a knock of the door
I love all your ankles
You fall on my floor
You roll your eyes
You're so sick of this
Gave me the bracelet I placed on your wrist
You lost it and lets face it I think we both lost it
A little too bits
I know you're living in London
Cause you keep on complaining where is the sunshine, it always is raining
It's all I am hearing, skies are not clearing
Your eyes keep on tearing
You're missing New York
But do you miss me
Do you miss our talks
Do you miss our touching and our midnight walks
Do you miss the ocean
Do you miss the sand
Do you miss me at all
Nah
I have to laugh like crazy
I really think you're crazy
You might as well ask me if the hotties all hazy
If you left I still maybe have I ever laid lazy with you on the grass
Lets get something straight
Cause I really do hate
This feeling that's growing
You think you not knowing
Wherever I may run
Even if it's dumb
I love only you
You are the only one
So it really doesn't matter
If I'm sorta having fun
If your cool or even second
I get a glimpse of the sun
Whether singing on the stages or filling up the pages
Somethings undone
And the song ends here
Cause you're really not near
We haven't said a word in over a year
It just gives me hope
Like music gives you rope
To hold you right here
And I'm sorry for these lines
I'm sorry for my crimes
And I'm sorry for the oceans I sails all the times
If i ever gave you something it probably was the notion
I never gave you nothing but a very hard time
The song "One May Die So Lonely" by Jaymay is a melancholic yet beautiful track about longing and regret. The lyrics vividly describe a conversation between two people who have lost touch with each other but are reminiscing about the past. The first verse portrays the moment when one person enters a room while the music is playing and the other person is lost in their own thoughts, unable to find them. The second verse is an invitation to the other person to share their story while they both share a bottle of wine. The song creates a mood that is both intimate and pensive, adding to the feeling of nostalgia and sadness that runs throughout the song.

A little too bits
Into little pieces or fragments
I know you're living in London
I know you're currently living in London
Cause you keep on complaining where is the sunshine, it always is raining
You keep complaining about the weather in London, it's always raining and there's no sunshine
It's all I am hearing, skies are not clearing
All I keep hearing about is how gloomy and cloudy it is in London
Your eyes keep on tearing
Your eyes keep getting wet or tearing up
You're missing New York
You're feeling homesick and missing New York
But do you miss me
But do you miss me?
Do you miss our talks
Do you miss our conversations?
Do you miss our touching and our midnight walks
Do you miss the intimacy we once had and our walks at midnight?
Do you miss the ocean
Do you miss the ocean and the beach?
Do you miss the sand
Do you miss the feel of sand between your toes?
Do you miss me at all
Do you miss me at all?
Nah
No, I don't miss you at all
I have to laugh like crazy
I have to laugh hysterically
I really think you're crazy
I honestly think you're crazy or acting irrationally
You might as well ask me if the hotties all hazy
You might as well ask me if the attractive people are blurry or hard to see
If you left I still maybe have I ever laid lazy with you on the grass
Even if you left, I might still remember the lazy days we spent together lying on the grass
Lets get something straight
Let's clear something up
Cause I really do hate
Because I really hate
This feeling that's growing
This feeling that's getting stronger
You think you not knowing
You feel like you don't know something important
Wherever I may run
No matter where I go
Even if it's dumb
Even if it's stupid or senseless
I love only you
I only love you
You are the only one
You are the only one for me
So it really doesn't matter
In the end, it doesn't matter
If I'm sorta having fun
If I'm having a little bit of fun
If your cool or even second
If you're cool with it or even okay with it
I get a glimpse of the sun
I catch a glimpse of sunlight or a brighter future
Whether singing on the stages or filling up the pages
Whether I'm performing on stage or writing in my notebook
Somethings undone
There's something left undone or unresolved
And the song ends here
The song comes to an end here
Cause you're really not near
Because you're really not here
We haven't said a word in over a year
We haven't spoken in over a year
It just gives me hope
It just gives me hope that we might talk again someday
Like music gives you rope
Like music can lift you up or give you something to hold onto
To hold you right here
To keep you close to me
And I'm sorry for these lines
I'm sorry for these words
I'm sorry for my crimes
I'm sorry for the things I've done wrong
And I'm sorry for the oceans I sails all the times
I'm sorry for all the times I sailed away and left you behind
If i ever gave you something it probably was the notion
If I ever gave you anything, it was probably just an idea or a thought
I never gave you nothing but a very hard time
I never gave you anything except for a difficult time or a hard life
