Gonna Be Alright
Leah Haywood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a one way ticket to my new life
Gonna miss you, but I know I'll be fine
If it get's too much I'll just drop you a line
When tommorrow comes and you're still on my mind
Any time that I should feel alone
And I'll close my eyes and I know that I'm gonna be alright.
Walking streets and watching passers by
Doing too much coffee and not enough sleep
And I wonder will I make it here
But I'm happy thinking of you endlessly
When tomorrow comes and you're still on my mind
Any time that I should feel alone
I'll remember that you loved me so
And I'll close my eyes and I know that I'm gonna be alright.
(At night) At night when silence closes in
And thoughts of you begin
Gonna dream those tears away ooohhh
Anytime that I should feel alone
I'll remember that you loved me so
And I'll close my eyes and know that I'm gonna be alright
*Repeat to Fade*
The lyrics of Leah Haywood's song Gonna Be Alright tell the story of a woman who is leaving her old life behind to start anew. She asks her lover to say goodbye to her and give her a kiss before she embarks on this new journey. She has a one-way ticket and knows that she will miss him, but she is confident that she will be alright because love never really fades away. If she ever feels alone or overwhelmed, she'll just drop him a line. She walks down the streets, watching passerby, drinking too much coffee, and not getting enough sleep. She wonders if she'll make it in this new city, but she thinks of him endlessly, and it makes her happy. At night, when the silence closes in, and thoughts of him begin to creep up, she dreams those tears away.
The chorus of the song is a reminder to herself that she will be alright. Even when she feels alone, she remembers that he loved her, and this gives her strength. She'll close her eyes and know that she will be alright.
The theme of the song is moving on but still cherishing what was before. It's about the pain of leaving behind someone you love but also the hope of starting something new. The lyrics are very relatable to anyone who has had to leave their old life behind and move on to something new.
