Always You
Lou Ruiz feat. Jillian Edwards Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been, here before
I was so satisfied but I tried and I still want more
Your silence feels so loud
And the voices are closing and choking I can't make a sound
We're running in circles pretending to be alive
And we know why
All of the times that I have fallen in and out of really loving you
And all of the moments I have wasted with my eyes closed looking for the truth

I knew it was you
And always you
You've got me, it's So unfair
But I wouldn't trade it for anything anywhere
Stumble, lost my way
And I keep coming back, with the promise that I'm gonna stay
We're running in circles, fighting for our lives
And we know why
All of the times that I have fallen, in and out of really loving you
And all of the moments I have wasted, with my eyes closed looking for the truth
We knew it was you
Always
Fighting for our freedom (freedom)
Dying to find a way(dying to find a way)
I'm Holding to the only thing I knew(I'm holding to the only thing I knew)
All of the times that I had fallen in and out of really loving you
All of the times that I had fallen in and out of really loving you
And all of the moments I had wasted with my eyes closed looking for the truth
I knew it was you
And all of the moments I had wasted with my eyes closed looking for the truth
I knew it was you
Always you(always you)
Yeeaahh
I knew it was you

I knew it was
Always you

The opening lines of the song reveal that the singer has been in this situation before, where they thought they were satisfied with their love life, but eventually, the craving for more never goes away.

The singer admits that they have been running in circles, pretending to be alive, for only one reason, love. They have known all along that it is their heart's desire that they are fighting for, and each time they fall, they know it is for the same reason - always you.

The chorus brings out the essence of the song, where the singer talks about falling in and out of love and wasting precious time searching for the truth, only to realize it's always been their lover. They acknowledge that their emotions are beyond their control, and all they can do is hold on tightly to the love they know. The bridge highlights the struggles they have gone through to be together, fighting for their freedom and dying to find a way to be together, but through it all, they have always known that it's "always you." The lyrics, coupled with the soulful melody and Jillian Edwards' stunning voice, make it a song that speaks to everyone who has ever been in love.
