Josh A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But myself
But I still need somebody
Can you help
Just need your arms around me
I'm so glad you found me
It's like you call me just when you need me
It only makes sense when you're underneath me
It's like you call me just when you need me
It only makes sense when you're underneath me
Oh oh but the love was never real
But I'll never go back home
I don't want to
I don't need to
Gotta learn how to be alone
We don't need to make this complicated
Baby its getting late
And I know you're sick of waiting
I cant trust nobody
But myself
But I still need somebody
Can you help
Just need your arms around me
I'm so glad you found me
It's like you call me just when you need me
It only makes sense when you're underneath me
Oh oh but the love was never real
It's like you call me just when you need me
It only makes sense when you're underneath me
Oh oh but the love was never real
I cant trust nobody
But myself
But I still need somebody
Can you help
Just need your arms around me
I'm so glad you found me
The lyrics to Josh A's song Real convey the struggle of the artist in navigating his relationships. While he acknowledges that he can't trust anyone but himself, he still craves human connection and asks for help in finding it. He finds solace in physical intimacy with someone who seems to only seek him out when they need him. Despite this, he realizes that their love was never real and he must learn to be alone. The lyrics paint a picture of a conflicted individual who can't completely give up on love but is wary of getting hurt.
The chorus of the song is particularly striking, with its repetition of the phrase "It's like you call me just when you need me, It only makes sense when you're underneath me, Oh oh but the love was never real." This section of the song seems to highlight the importance of physical connection to the artist, even if it's not based on genuine love. He recognizes that he's being used but in some ways, it's preferable to being alone. Ultimately, this song explores the complexities of human relationships and how they can leave one feeling lost and confused.
