always i'll care
Jeremy Zucker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving down the interstate
I've never felt so far away
Leaving hardly hurts at all
I'm sorry that I never call

Often I get exhausted
Trying regardless to be enough
Is it selfish not to be selfless
When all I can help is to open up?

I'll be better than I was before
Despite every text of yours ignored
Will you call me still, just to hear my voice?
I swear, always, I'll care

(I'll care)

Flipping through our photographs
Those moments never seem to last
Listening to self control
Those feelings that you'll never know

Leave me, it's never easy
I've had a lifetime to be alone
If you let me, when it gets heavy
Know I'll never let you be all alone

I'll be better than I was before
Despite heavy texts of yours ignored
Will you call me still, just to hear my voice?
I swear, always




Always
Always, I'll care

Overall Meaning

The song "always, i'll care" by Jeremy Zucker is a heartfelt and emotional track about a relationship that has seen better days. The lyrics describe an individual who is driving down the highway, feeling distant and alone. This could be a metaphor for the relationship itself, with the distance representing the emotional distance between the two individuals. The singer remarks that leaving is not difficult and that they are sorry for not calling. This suggests the singer is struggling with their own issues and is feeling guilty for not being more present in the relationship.


The next verse contains some self-doubt and contemplation. The singer admits they are exhausted from trying to be enough and wonders whether it's wrong not to be selfless. The line "when all I can help is to open up" suggests that the singer is aware that they need to communicate better and be more vulnerable. The chorus sees the singer vow to be better than before and to care more, despite having ignored previous texts. The singer hopes that the other individual will call them just to hear their voice and reassures them that they will always care.


The bridge sees the singer flipping through old photographs and reminiscing on the past. They acknowledge that those memories never seemed to last, which could be suggesting that the relationship was fleeting and wasn't built to withstand the test of time. The singer then mentions "self control" and the "feelings you'll never know." This could be suggesting that the other individual wasn't aware of the internal struggles the singer was going through, leading to misunderstandings and miscommunication. The final line of the chorus is repeated three times, emphasizing the singer's commitment to caring for the other individual, no matter what.
