To Be With You
Nineties Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can picture it so clearly
I'll be alone
Writing something like 'For Emma, Long Ago'
And it'll turn out like shit
And I'll never finish it

I've made my decisions and I've dug my own grave
Every word that I chose don't have the power I wish it gave
When I get so god damn lonely
I'll make a fool out of me

I swear I'll text you every day 'til you block me
Fuck, how much did it suck to be with me?





I love you so unhealthily

Overall Meaning

The song To Be With You by Nineties is an emotional track that is driven by the feelings of loneliness and regret. Throughout the song, the singer expresses his emotions about his current state of being and how he thinks he has dug his own grave. He talks about how he is alone, writing something that would turn out to be a mess and that he would never finish it. This could represent a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness that the singer is experiencing. He has a vision of what he wants to do but he does not believe in himself enough to bring it to fruition.


The lines "I've made my decisions and I've dug my own grave, Every word that I chose don't have the power I wish it gave" capture the melancholic essence of the song perfectly. The singer seems to have made mistakes in his life and as a result, feels trapped and helpless. He intends to text the person he loves every day, but he feels like that too would be inadequate. The lyrics convey the idea that sometimes we make decisions that we might later regret, and it can be challenging to change the course of our lives once we have set them into motion. The song is a poignant reminder that it's important to take risks and follow our hearts, even if it's difficult or uncomfortable.


Overall, To Be With You is a song that explores themes of isolation, unrequited love, and regret. Its lyrics capture the pain and sadness of feeling alone and powerless, and its melancholic melody mirrors the weight of those emotions. The singer's vulnerability and honesty make for a poignant, relatable track that speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost, alone, or unsure of themselves.

Here the liryc...
Have a nice day guys..

You said you'd never lie
But you did it anyway
So how am I supposed to feel when
You said, "It's so real," to my face?
And you said you'd make a promise
But a promise never stays
So how am I supposed to act when
It's just how it is nowadays?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear, we kinda fell in love with the pain
And I'm scared we don't even know the right way

[Chorus]
Wish I loved you in the 90s
'Cause I know that we would work
Say wrong place, wrong time
Should've been alive
Bet it wouldn't hurt
If I had loved you in the 90s
Back when life wasn't a blur
Say right guy, right vibe
Wouldn't have to try
Bet it wouldn't hurt
If I had loved you in the 90s
If I had lovеd you in the 90s


What happened to thе guy picking up the girl?
And now you speed down the highway
And don't care to say a word
And my head is kinda dreamy
I imagine it with you
I'm alone, record on
Lookin' at this guy like '92, oh-oh-ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear, we kinda fell in love with the pain
And I'm scared we don't even know the right way

[Chorus]
Wish I loved you in the 90s
'Cause I know that we would work
Say wrong place, wrong time
Should've been alive
Bet it wouldn't hurt
If I had loved you in the 90s
Back when life wasn't a blur
Say right guy, right vibe
Wouldn't have to try
Bet it wouldn't hurt
If I had loved you in the 90s
If I had loved you in the 90s


Wish I loved you in the 90s
'Cause I know that we would work
Say wrong place, wrong time
Bet it wouldn't hurt
