It's On You
Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not down to you to change the way I'm feeling
Eyes are open heart conceding
What comes from above
Is not ever enough
I see you lose your power
Getting darker every hour
I wanted to find your spark
Like the moon out from your window
Your push and pull begins slow
I’m not afraid of your dark
It's not down to you to change the way I'm feeling
Eyes are open heart conceding
What comes from above
Is not ever enough
Something in me just stopped beating
Something that you were feeding
You’re brave to pull me apart
You're brave to pull me apart
I want you to cut right through me
Crawl up so deep into me
You’re safe to look for my heart
It's not down to you to change the way I'm feeling
Eyes are open heart conceding
What comes from above
Is not ever enough
It's not down to you to change the way I'm feeling now
Eyes are rolling, heart is bleeding
What's comes from our love
Is not ever discussed, no
They don't know you
And they don't know me
To judge our long and lonely passage through night
It's not down to you to change the way I'm feeling
Eyes are open heart conceding
What comes from our love
Is not ever enough
It's not down to you to change the way I'm feeling
Eyes are open heart conceding
What comes from above
Is not ever enough
It's not down to you to change the way I'm feeling
Eyes are open heart conceding




What comes from above
Is not ever enough

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joe's song "It's On You" depict a complex and tumultuous relationship between two people. The singer seems to be experiencing emotional turmoil, with something in them "just stopped beating" and their "heart is bleeding." The other person in the relationship is seemingly causing this pain, as they are described as "losing their power" and becoming "darker every hour." Despite this, the singer still longs for a connection with the other person, wishing for them to "cut right through" and "crawl up so deep" into them.


The chorus, "It's not down to you to change the way I'm feeling," highlights the power dynamic in the relationship. The singer acknowledges that the other person is not responsible for their feelings, even as they continue to cause pain. The last line, "What comes from above is not ever enough," could refer to spiritual or divine intervention, suggesting that even outside forces cannot fix the brokenness in the relationship.

Once upon a time when R&B music was refreshing, romantic, and meaningful. It's interesting because Neyo wrote and produced this track. These guys are G.O.A.T's. Still listening 2021.

Still listening to this in 2020 🎶
