You
Joanne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak, I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
Now I'm relaxed, I can't be sure
And I think you're so mean
I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life and
I think I'm scared
I think too much
I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone, baby you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
And I bet you need - more than you mind
And I think you're so mean
I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life
I think I'm just scared that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone, baby you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean
I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life and
I think I'm scared
Do I talk too much?
I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone, then maybe it's time to come home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone
hell baby you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of something me
In everything in you
Something in me
Everything in you




Something in me
...In you

Overall Meaning

In this song, Joanne appears to be reminiscing about her past relationship and how it has ended, indicating that she has already lost the person and that they are already gone. She seems frightened, and as she looks around her empty surroundings, she realizes that the once prosperous place has crumbled. She suggests that her partner thinks she's weak for still having affections for them, but she believes that it is them who are misguided. She feels like they're already at the verge of heading out, and all that remains is for them to open the door and leave.


Joanne believes that they are mean to each other and that they must try to patch things up. She also thinks that she needs this relationship, but is afraid of the idea of losing too much control, overthinking everything, and that scares her. With the last verse, she takes a step back and wonders if she's been overbearing or perhaps it's just her perception, as she contemplates the little part of herself that she sees lingering in the other person.
