Since You've Been Gone
Neversay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's so much to be happy about
In this life what a wonderful chance
We have to work hard, play hard
And maybe even find yourself a girl
And make some romance
So don't you think it'd be so lame
To get all crazy drunk
And start a fight?
We'd much rather dance with some girls
So if you want to fight
Get the heck outta here you stupid fool!


Please don't kill us
We're just the aquabats
We're just trying to have
A little fun
Ha ha ha ha
So if you want to fight
We can duke it out
Just please don't kill us
With your gun


We're all just peaceful little aquabats
We would never take a life
We don't want to fight
But if we must,
Please be cool,
No guns or knives.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Neversay's song Since You've Been Gone convey a message of positivity and enjoying life's offerings, rather than giving in to senseless violence. The first verse emphasizes the wonderful opportunities that life presents us such as working hard, playing hard, and finding love. It urges the listener not to spoil it all by getting drunk and starting a fight, but rather appreciate it by dancing with girls. The second verse is more direct and pleading - as the band identifies themselves as "peaceful little aquabats" who only want to have fun. They implore the listener not to resort to violence and weaponry, asserting that they would never take a life, but they will also protect themselves if they must. The song incorporates elements of rock and ska, and the lyrics are delivered with a light-hearted tone and humorous interjections, which adds to the overall optimism and uplifting message.

Here's the thing
We started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah
Since you been gone

You're dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long till I called you mine
Yeah, yeah
Since you been gone

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I picture me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get what I want
Since you been gone

How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
Since you been gone

How come I've never heard you say
I just want to be with you?
Guess you never felt that way

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get what I want
Since you been gone

I love how Aubrey and Chloe are genuinely impressed with Benji's performance at 2:27 and it doesn't look like fake applause

@anonymouslearner2454

Indeed on paying more attention, I realized these movies are very wholesome in subtle ways...

@mystix1979

he sounded like evan from dear evan hansen on that bit

@shaheenbekk

@Mystix Ψ i have no clue if you're joking or not but he is the same actor that plays evan for both the movie and the original broadway performance
