Even When
Joshua Bassett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night, I've been counting the days
I see your face almost every night
'Cause I just wanna be there when you wake
Sure, maybe, Salt Lake is not close
Denver always seems so far away
But I'm still breathing you in deep
But I hope you know that we're still close
Because
The best part is knowing there's something in my dreams that always make me smile, it's you
Even when you and I are worlds apart, I hold you in my heart
The best part is knowing there's someone in my life that makes it all worthwhile
Even when I'm a thousand miles away, I wish that I could stay with you
It's you
When I don't know what to do, no I'm
I shouldn't fear, 'cause I'm
Never givin' up, never givin' up on you, baby
I wish that you were here
There's no need to be blue
Because
The best part is knowing there's something in my dreams that always make me smile, it's you
Even when you and I are worlds apart, I hold you in my heart
The best part is knowing there's someone in my life that makes it all worthwhile
Even when I'm a thousand miles away, I wish that I could stay with you
It's you
You, you, with you
You, you, it's you, with you
I wish that I could stay with you
It's you
In Joshua Bassett's song "Even When/The Best Part," the lyrics express his strong feelings towards someone he cares about deeply, even when they are physically separated. The first verse focuses on how he thinks of this person every night and longs to be there when they wake up. He acknowledges that they may be far apart geographically, but their connection remains strong. The chorus highlights the best part of their relationship, which is knowing that this person is always with him in his dreams, regardless of the distance between them. He acknowledges the person's significance in his life, and even though he may be far away, he wants nothing more than to stay close to them.
The second verse emphasizes that he doesn't know what to do without them and that he will never give up on them. He reiterates that he wishes they could be together and that there's no need to be unhappy because he feels their connection is strong. The repetition of "it's you" in the chorus emphasizes that the person he is referring to is the one who makes it all worthwhile.

Nini's Part:
I think of you when the wind blows
I see your face almost everywhere
Sure, maybe Salt Lake is not close
But I'm still breathin' you in the air
Because
The best part is knowin' there's somethin' in my dreams that always makes me smile, it's you
The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life that makes it all worthwhile
It's you
When I don't know what to do
Know I'm never givin' up, never givin' up on you, baby
There's no need to be blue
Because

The best part is knowin' there's someone in my life that makes it all worthwhile
It's you
You, you,

every night i’ve been counting the days
cause i just wanna be there when you wake
denver always seems so far away
but i hope you know, that we’re still close
