Where You Been
Michael Barr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you easy 'cause I'm way too young
I fell asleep again on medicine and sun
I want to way in all my fun
She needs to never leave
I'd rather stay and grieve

I fell in love with me
I try it all with you
Nobody wants me here
I never wanted to care

I forgive... Get it now

Is there something you need?
Is there something i don't want
I wish that they would just let me be
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know (whoa)

I'd say right here where you been
I've been lost looking for where you live
I've been up all night 'bout where you been
Where you been.

I love you easy 'cause I'm way too young
You used to call me tang
Brought up by my first name
You know which way that I would run
You sold me countless friends
Created my dead end

I fell in love with me
I tried it all with you
Nobody wants me here
I've never wanted to care

I forgive... Get it now
I forgive... Get it now now now.

Is there something you need?
Is there something i don't want
I wish that they would just let me be
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know (whoa)

I'd say right here where you been
I've been lost looking for where you live
I've been up all night 'bout where you been
Where you been.

I love you easy 'cause I'm way too young
I love you easy 'cause I'm way too young




I love you easy 'cause I'm way too young
I love you easy 'cause I'm way too young

Overall Meaning

Michael Barr's song "Where You Been" is a track that showcases the emotions of a young and restless individual who is dealing with the pain of loneliness and seeking love in all the wrong places. In the opening lines of the song, he confesses his love to his lover easily because he is too young and inexperience in the ways of the world. He falls asleep under the influence of medication and sunlight while trying to escape his fears and sadness.


Barr also discusses how he has fallen in love with himself, having tried everything with his partner but nobody wants him. He forgives his partner but also questions whether there is anything he needs or doesn't want. It seems he desires some freedom from the constant noise and interference of the people around him.


The repeated chorus of "I love you easy because I'm way too young" highlights the overall theme of the song - a young person trying to navigate their way through life and love. This song may be seen as an introspective look at the experience of overwhelming emotions and loneliness among young adults.

Damn, I wish Michael come back to his project

@ihatejamon

Bro this you might now want it but this needs to get out there this is so good.. I saw the interview where you drove by the old recording studio, I wondered what happened to you man and I am shocked if not blown away with what you have done with your time, you've reflected on your actions and learned something it's obvious you found yourself a path and to be honest it sounds amazing as fuck, what other bands or people say doesn't matter they are just another grain of sand along the beach of life and all have their own opinion and I know from experience money doesn't make someone a bad or good person it's in each individual person and their choices and actions. Well done my friend you have another fan, I respect your choices and support you in your music and artistic views

@ricardofame7041

SO GOOD MICHAEL .
