Watch Over
Lucy Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a long time tell me is this what you're looking for
It's a long time, heard it all before
It's a long time tell me is this what you're looking for
I know just how it feels to be there
One step too far and it's on your mind
Your heart it falls like you do
I'll walk away if you follow me
We're so far from what we know could be
Lights from your house watch out over me
And we had
You let me go right from the start
Inwards you fall and it's on my mind
It was just like you asked for
You know that it was know that it was
I'll walk away if you follow me
I'll walk away if you follow me
We're so far from what we know could be
Lights from your house watch out over me
And we had
And we had
I got now you had it all
Can you feel it now it's gone
Is it what you thought it was
Can you really stop it now
It's a long time heard it all before
It's a long time tell me is this what you're looking for
It's a long time heard it all before
It's a long time tell me is this what you're looking for
It's a long time what you're looking for
It's a long time what you're looking for
It's a long time what you're looking for
It's a long time tell me is this what you're looking for
The lyrics of Lucy Rose's song "Watch Over" convey a sense of longing for clarity and communication in a relationship that has gone through previous cycles of heartache and frustration. The repetition of "It's a long time, heard it all before" suggests a weariness with the struggles that have characterized the relationship thus far. The singer seeks clarification and honesty from their partner, asking "Tell me, is this what you're looking for?" The reference to feeling "One step too far" indicates a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty in the relationship, with the heart being equated to a physical object that falls and hurts when things don't go well.
Despite the challenges, there is a sense of hope in the song, with the repeated refrain "I'll walk away if you follow me" suggesting a willingness to work things out and move forward together. The final lines leave the listener with a sense of uncertainty and doubt, as the singer wonders if what they had really meant anything and if they can ever truly move on from it.
Overall, "Watch Over" is a complex and emotionally resonant exploration of the difficulties of communication, trust, and love in a relationship.
