Nobody but You
L.J. Reynolds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't sleep, I'm lonely
If only you were here to lay with me, lay with me
Long days, and longer nights don't feel right
If you're not here by my side, by my side

I'm thinking of running away
Into your arms to a place
Where I know that I'm gonna stay, gonna stay
People with so much to say
But I'm only hearing the words
That you left me with on that day, on that day

'Cause I don't really care for
No, I don't really care for, nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby, no
The only one I'm there for
No, I don't really care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby

Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you
Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you

Lately, I'm faded, it's hazy
Won't you come and clear my mind, clear my mind
I won't be, safe tonight
When you're the only comfort in my life, oh in my life

I'm thinking of running away
Into your arms to a place
Where I know that I'm gonna stay, gonna stay

'Cause I don't really care for
No, I don't really care for, nobody but you
Nobody, nobody but you baby, no
You're the only one I'm there for
The only one I care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you, baby

Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you
Nobody but you, you, you, you, you, you

Nobody, nobody baby
Nobody, nobody baby
Nobody, nobody baby, baby, baby

'Cause I don't really care for
No, I don't really care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you baby, no
You're the only one I'm there for
The only one I care for
Nobody but you
Nobody but you baby

Line by Line Meaning

I can't sleep, I'm lonely
I am feeling lonely and unable to sleep


If only you were here to lay with me, lay with me
If only you were here with me, I could have slept by your side


Long days, and longer nights don't feel right
The days are long and the nights feel even longer without you around


If you're not here by my side, by my side
I feel incomplete without you around me


I'm thinking of running away
I am considering seeking solace in your arms


Into your arms to a place
I long to be in your embrace and find peace


Where I know that I'm gonna stay, gonna stay
I want to be with you forever


People with so much to say
There are a lot of people around me but their words don't mean anything to me


But I'm only hearing the words
I am only paying attention to the words you said to me


That you left me with on that day, on that day
I am still holding on to the words you said to me on that day


'Cause I don't really care for
I don't care about anyone else but you


Nobody but you
You are the only one that matters to me


The only one I'm there for
You are the only person I am truly there for


Lately, I'm faded, it's hazy
My life feels unclear and uncertain lately


Won't you come and clear my mind, clear my mind
I need you to come and give me clarity


I won't be, safe tonight
I won't feel safe tonight unless you are here with me


When you're the only comfort in my life, oh in my life
You are the only source of comfort in my life


Nobody, nobody baby
No one else matters except for you


Nobody but you
Only you matter to me
