Without You
Oh Wonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Skies above they radiate me
Lift up, carry the love
Do you know?
That I've been out of my mind
This slow life I'm waiting for you
To swing me all of your line
Since I've been walking solo
Dreaming you were back home
I find getting down low
Hide until tomorrow
Come back into the good life
Lose these hazy love lies
I've been chasing my mind
Lonely in the cold nights
'Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Step out into the dark
Where were you when I was trying
To lift up, carry the love
Do you know?
That I've been closing my eyes
Love me slow, hallucinating
Swinging me all of your light
Do you know?
Since I've been walking solo
Dreaming you were back home
I find getting down low
Hide until tomorrow
Come back into the good life
Lose these hazy love lies
I've been chasing my mind
Lonely in the cold nights
'Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Hold me close when it's over
Life goes slow loving sober
Feel my bones getting older
Sadness grows when you're cold
'Cause I am one step heavy and two steps high
Hold it steady with you by my side
One step heavy and two steps high
Two steps high
'Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
The lyrics to Oh Wonder's "Without You" portray the singer's feelings of loneliness, sadness, and desperation in the absence of the person they love. The opening lines, "Step out into the sun/Skies above they radiate me/Lift up, carry the love/Do you know?" depict the singer's yearning to be with the person who brings light into their life. The singer then reveals that they've been feeling out of their mind in their solitary existence, waiting for their loved one to return to them, and hoping to be swept away by their affection. The lines, "Since I've been walking solo/Dreaming you were back home/I find getting down low/Hide until tomorrow" illustrate the singer's feelings of isolation and the impulse to retreat from the world when feeling alone.
In the chorus, the singer emphasizes their feelings of being lost and incomplete without their loved one. The lines, " 'Cause I'm kicking up stones without you/Can't pick up the phone without you/I'm a little bit lost without you/Without you" reveal the singer's inability to move forward without their loved one and their desperation to be reunited. The bridge, "Hold me close when it's over/Life goes slow loving sober/Feel my bones getting older/Sadness grows when you're cold" depicts the fear of growing old and becoming isolated, as well as the relief and comfort that comes with being in the arms of the one you love.
Overall, the lyrics to "Without You" convey a deep sense of loss, loneliness, and longing for the singer's loved one. The vivid imagery and emotional language used throughout the song make it easy for listeners to relate to the universal experience of missing someone.
Line by Line Meaning
Step out into the sun
Leaving my comfort zone and facing the brightness of life
Skies above they radiate me
The beauty of nature has a positive impact on me
Lift up, carry the love
Taking the love I have with me and spreading it around
Do you know?
Asking someone if they understand my feelings
That I've been out of my mind
Feeling crazy and disoriented because of my emotions
This slow life I'm waiting for you
My life feels like it's moving in slow motion and I'm waiting for someone to come back
To swing me all of your line
Having someone come back into my life and shower me with their affection
Since I've been walking solo
Since I've been alone and not with that person
Dreaming you were back home
Imagining that person coming back to me
I find getting down low
Feeling sad and low when I'm alone
Hide until tomorrow
Wanting to hide from my feelings until the next day
Come back into the good life
Asking someone to come back and make my life good again
Lose these hazy love lies
Stop pretending to love someone when I know it's not true
I've been chasing my mind
Thinking too much about the situation and it's affecting me mentally
Lonely in the cold nights
Feeling lonely when it's dark and cold outside
'Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Feeling lost and directionless without that person by my side
Can't pick up the phone without you
Feeling like I can't function without that person's support
And I'm digging down holes without you
Feeling like I'm digging myself into a deeper emotional hole without that person's help
Can't be on my own without you
Feeling like I need that person around to feel comfortable on my own
Hold me close when it's over
Asking for comfort when things end
Life goes slow loving sober
The pace of life feels slow when I'm not being reckless with my love
Feel my bones getting older
Feeling the weight of emotional pain and how it affects me physically
Sadness grows when you're cold
Feeling sadder and more alone when that person is distant or unresponsive
'Cause I am one step heavy and two steps high
Feeling the push and pull of my emotions
Hold it steady with you by my side
Needing that person to help stabilize my fluctuating emotions
Without you
Emphasizing how much I rely on that person and how lost I feel without them

Step out into the sun
Skies above they radiate me
Lift up, carry the love
Do you know?
That I've been out of my mind
This slow life I'm waiting for you
To swing me all of your line
Do you know?
Since I've been walking solo
Dreaming you were back home
Hi-fi getting down low
Hide until tomorrow
Come back into the good life
Lose these hazy love lies
I've been chasing my mind
Lonely in the cold nights
'Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Step out into the dark
Where were you when I was trying
To lift up, carry the love?
Do you know?
That I've been closing my eyes
Love me slow, hallucinating
Swinging me all of your light
Do you know?
Since I've been walking solo
Dreaming you were back home
Hi-fi find getting down low
Hide until tomorrow
Come back into the good life
Lose these hazy love lies
I've been chasing my mind
Lonely in the cold nights
'Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you, oh
Hold me close when it's over
Life goes slow loving sober
Feel my bones getting older
Sadness grows when you're cold
'Cause I am one step heavy and two steps high
Hold it steady with you by my side
One step heavy and two steps high
Two steps high
'Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you

I love this song so much, here's the lyrics if anybody needed them like I did:
Step out into the sun
Skies above they radiate me
Lift up, carry the love

That I've been out of my mind
This slow life I'm waiting for you
To swing me all of your line
Do you know?
Since I've been walking solo
Dreaming you were back home
I find getting down low
Hide until tomorrow
Come back into the good life
Lose these hazy love lies
I've been chasing my mind
Lonely in the cold nights
Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Step out into the dark
Where were you when I was trying
To lift up, carry the love
Do you know?
That I've been closing my eyes
Love me slow, hallucinating
Swinging me all of your light
Do you know?
Since I've been walking solo
Dreaming you were back home
I find getting down low
Hide until tomorrow
Come back into the good life
Lose these hazy love lies
I've been chasing my mind
Lonely in the cold nights
Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Hold me close when it's over
Life goes slow loving sober
Feel my bones getting older
Sadness grows when you're cold
Cause I am one step heavy and two steps high
Hold it steady with you by my side
One step heavy and two steps high
Two steps high
Cause I'm kicking up stones without you
Can't pick up the phone without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
And I'm digging down holes without you
Can't be on my own without you
I'm a little bit lost without you
Without you
