Here With Me
Milo Meskens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will you come visit me at home
Tell me stories of different times
I'll stick to water but you'll get wine
When you promised to be the girl
Looks in my eyes but sees the world
Could you have seen us ending here
'cus I, I will never know
Why the distance grows
Like this
I'm no longer in your heart
But you were always in my art
And I might find somebody new
No I won't find another you
'cus I, I will never know
Why the distance grows
And I have never shown
How much, it means to me
What you mean to me
You could be here with me
You could be here with me
You could be here with me, tonight
In Milo Meskens's song Here With Me, the artist is contemplating the consequences of a failed relationship. The lyrics are reflective of someone who feels like they have lost out on something special and are now wondering what could have been. In the opening lines of the song, Milo sings about growing old and being alone, asking if the person he is addressing in the song would come to visit him at home and tell him stories. This is a poignant moment that highlights how important this relationship is to him and how much he fears losing it completely.
The second verse is more introspective, with the artist questioning whether the other person in the relationship could have foreseen its end. He reflects on how they promised to be the girl who looked in his eyes and saw the world, but despite this, they still ended up broken down and in tears in the rain. The chorus then repeats the line "I will never know why the distance grows," emphasizing the pain and regret that come with the end of a relationship.
The final verse of the song is a plea to the other person to come back to him, as he realizes that they were always in his art and will never find another person like them. The song ends with Milo singing "You could be here with me" repeatedly, emphasizing the themes of loss and longing that run throughout the song.
Overall, Here With Me is a powerful and emotional song that deals with difficult themes of loss and regret. It is a reminder of how important it is to cherish the people we love and hold onto them while we still can.
