Haven
Novo Amor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll count down the days, don′t say that you wouldn't too
'Cause I heard the rain, as I felt you coming loose
And I heard my name, it broke my head in two
I′ll celebrate on the day that I get the news
I′ll count down the ways, I'll be wishing that I was you
But I can′t correlate the way you move
The lyrics to Novo Amor's song Haven are highly emotional and filled with longing. The first verse, "I'll be late, but I could make it all up to you," suggests a possible distance or lack of connection between the singer and the person they are addressing. They are acknowledging that they have been absent or neglectful, but they believe they can make it up in some way. The next line, "I'll count down the days, don't say that you wouldn't too," implies that this person also feels a sense of longing and anticipation, suggesting that they may be separated by circumstances beyond their control. The singer then describes the moment they realized that the person they care about was slipping away from them, saying "I heard the rain, as I felt you coming loose / And I heard my name, it broke my head in two." These lines create a vivid image of the singer's despair at the loss of this person, implying that they were unaware of how much they cared about them until it was too late.
The second verse of the song continues the theme of longing and regret, with the singer saying "I'll celebrate on the day that I get the news / I'll count down the ways, I'll be wishing that I was you." This line suggests that the singer is waiting for some kind of confirmation or declaration of love from the other person, and that this news will be a cause for celebration. However, the next line, "But I can't correlate the way you move," shows that the singer is still struggling to understand this person and what they want. They feel as though they are only able to understand part of who this person is, and that they are missing something crucial. The final line of the chorus, "So I'll stay half away, and I'll guess that it'll do," suggests resignation to this situation, that the singer will settle for understanding only part of this person, rather than risking more hurt by trying to understand them fully.

I'll count down the days, don′t say that you wouldn't too
I'll patiently wait for the day we can be together again, and I know you would do the same
'Cause I heard the rain, as I felt you coming loose
As I sensed you slipping away, I also heard the sound of the rain falling outside

When you called out my name, it tore me apart inside
I′ll celebrate on the day that I get the news
When I finally receive good news, I'll be overjoyed
I′ll count down the ways, I'll be wishing that I was you
I'll dream of being in your shoes, and imagine all the ways I would experience life differently
But I can′t correlate the way you move
I can't seem to understand why you do the things you do
So I'll stay half away, and I′ll guess that it'll do
I'll keep myself at a distance and try to make do with what I have, even if it's not quite enough

I’ll be late, but I could make it all up to you
I’ll count down the days, don’t say that you wouldn’t too
‘cause I heard the rain, as I felt you coming loose
and I heard my name - it broke my head in two.
I’ll celebrate on the day that I get the news
I’ll count down the ways, i’ll be wishing that I was you
but I can’t correlate the way you move
so I’ll stay half away, and i’ll guess that it’ll do.

Imagine falling asleep in the warm autumn grass with this song playing in the background. The cool mountain air gently blowing down your face. Imagine the silent rustling of the leaves as the sun slowly set. The sky turning orange and slowly becoming purple as you leave all your worries away.
