There She Goes
Jimmy Demers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Terry Coffey, Donnie Demers)

So she said this time it's real
Wish I didn't have to feel
Cause it's tearing me apart inside for sure
Wish I knew just what I could say
Would it matter anyway?
Could I love her any more?

There she goes
There she goes
Breaking my heart, and I know that she knows
There she goes
There she goes
Taking my life with her there she goes

I feel lost and so confused
Feeling restless, feeling used
What's the point in crying tears won't bring her back
Years of sunsets are down the drain
Now my world is filled with pain
Guess this story fades to black

There she goes
There she goes
Breaking my heart, and I know that she knows
There she goes
There she goes
Taking my life with her there she goes

Now I lay awake at night without you
Maybe, baby...
That you just might call and say you're on your way?
But am I fool to keep believing that you'll come back here
And that life will be the same as yesterday?

There she goes
There she goes
Breaking my heart, and I know that she knows
There she goes
There she goes
Taking my life with her there she goes

There she goes
There she goes
Breaking my heart, and I know that she knows

There she goes




There she goes
Taking my life with her there she goes

Overall Meaning

The song "There She Goes" by Jimmy Demers is a heartbreaking ballad about lost love and the pain that comes with it. In the opening verse, the singer says that the woman he loves has told him that this time their relationship is real, but he wishes he didn't have to feel because it is tearing him apart inside. He wonders if he could love her any more and if it would matter anyway. The chorus is a repetition of "There she goes, breaking my heart, and I know that she knows, taking my life with her there she goes."


In the second verse, the singer is feeling lost and confused, and he doesn't see the point in crying because it won't bring her back. He had years of sunsets with her, but now his world is filled with pain, and he suspects that their story fades to black. In the bridge, the singer admits that he lies awake at night without her, hoping that she will call and say she's on her way, but he wonders if he is a fool for believing that life will be the same as yesterday.


The song is a poignant representation of heartbreak and the longing for lost love. It speaks to the experience of many people who have been in a relationship that they believed was real and then lost it, leaving them feeling lost and confused.

I was a guest last week at the Special Olympics 50th Anniversary in Chicago. Jimmy did an impromptu performance for athletes and families and friends. It was amazing. You could have heard a pin drop. His sincerity for everyone there was the real deal. The guy has a gift for sure.

Jimmy, YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST!!!! I LOVE YOU AND THIS SONG IS PERFECT... especially for me! :) Thank you for this. I should have listened to you a long time ago; but I fell in love with "The Devil's Advocate" and now THERE SHE GOES. How fortunate for me that I was left with my heart still beating. You are a star Jimmy, thank you for making days more brighter and the nights more beautiful... your time is NOW! Eric J. Hackett
