Melodye and Jack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything was good 'till you came through
Then I turned around, you were gone, and I lost a friend
Now what can I do
Don't look at the clouds 'till the sky turns blue
'Cause the rain's gonna come and wash those days away
What if I told you my biggest fear was that you wouldn't come back again
And everyone who's living here would never know unless it happened to them
A broken sunset on the trail I choose
A sunny day on the longest of June
And I just spent the whole thing in my room
Playin' sunny days
Let's sail away
To a time where time stops just for fun
I can't tell you
Everything was good 'till you came through
Then I turned around, you were gone, and I lost a friend
Now what can I do
Don't look at the clouds 'till the sky turns blue
'Cause the rain's gonna come and wash those days away
I can't tell you
Everything was good 'till you came through
Then I turned around, you were gone, and I lost a friend
Now what can I do
Don't look at the clouds 'till the sky turns blue
'Cause the rain's gonna come and wash those days away
The lyrics of Melodye and Jack's song "Tell You" speaks about losing a friend after they fell in love with them. The singer acknowledges that everything was going well until the friend came into their lives and abruptly left. They are left to deal with the pain of losing not just a lover, but a friend as well. The singer is fearful that their friend will never come back, and they will be left with the heartbreak forever. They want to go back to a time where their days were carefree and filled with sunshine, where they could escape the sadness that comes with losing a friend. The singer advises not to focus on the clouds and to wait until the sky turns blue because the storm will eventually pass.
The lyrics also portray a sense of confusion and disbelief in the aftermath of the friendship's end. The sunset on the trail they once shared is broken and not as beautiful as it once was, and time seems to have lost its meaning. The singer spends most of their time playing sunny days, suggesting that they are trying to escape the reality of what has happened, but they can't seem to get away from the pain.
The song's emotional depth and common theme of losing friends after falling in love with them is relatable, making it an easily recognizable and memorable song.

I can't tell you
I am unable to reveal
Everything was good 'till you came through
Life was perfect before you entered
Then I turned around, you were gone, and I lost a friend
You left me alone, and I lost a companion
Now what can I do
What am I supposed to do
Don't look at the clouds 'till the sky turns blue
Avoid looking for trouble
'Cause the rain's gonna come and wash those days away
The bad times will pass
What if I told you my biggest fear was that you wouldn't come back again
My biggest worry is you not returning
And everyone who's living here would never know unless it happened to them
No one will understand until they experience it
It feels like nothing in the world is true
Everything seems unreal
A broken sunset on the trail I choose
My chosen path has led to disappointment
A sunny day on the longest of June
The perfect day
And I just spent the whole thing in my room
I wasted it indoors
Playin' sunny days
I was reliving happier times
Let's sail away
Let's escape reality
To a time where time stops just for fun
To a moment of true joy
I can't tell you
I am unable to reveal
Everything was good 'till you came through
Life was perfect before you entered
Then I turned around, you were gone, and I lost a friend
You left me alone, and I lost a companion
Now what can I do
What am I supposed to do
Don't look at the clouds 'till the sky turns blue
Avoid looking for trouble
'Cause the rain's gonna come and wash those days away
The bad times will pass
I can't tell you
I am unable to reveal
Everything was good 'till you came through
Life was perfect before you entered
Then I turned around, you were gone, and I lost a friend
You left me alone, and I lost a companion
Now what can I do
What am I supposed to do
Don't look at the clouds 'till the sky turns blue
Avoid looking for trouble
'Cause the rain's gonna come and wash those days away
The bad times will pass
