I Got You
Olivia Lunny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now the sun is going down, down, down
Too much silence in this room right now
'Cause you're not here with me
And I'm freaking out
'Cause you're the only one who calms me down

When I call you
You talk me out of the fear that I'm feeling
And I lose
The scream in my mind no one else is hearing
Only you know how

When the days are dark
And the nights are blue
It's okay, I got you
When the times get hard
And you need me too
It's okay, I got you
I got you

I got you
I got you
I got you
When the days are dark
And the nights are blue
It's okay, 'cause I got you

Nothings said
But I know somethings wrong
Look in your eyes and see the blinds are drawn
And you can tell me what's been going on
You don't always have to be so strong

When the days are dark
And the nights are blue
It's okay, I got you
When the times get hard
And you need me too
It's okay, I got you
I got you

I got you
I got you
I got you
When the days are dark
And the nights are blue
It's okay, 'cause I got
'Cause I got you

Yeah, you talk me out of the fear that I'm feeling (Ya)
And the scream in my mind no one else is hearing
What I'm hearing
'Cause only you know how

When the days are dark
And the nights are blue
It's okay, 'cause I got you
When the days are dark
And the nights are blue
It's okay, 'cause I got
'Cause I got you





'Cause I got, 'cause I got you (I got you)
'Cause I got, 'cause I got you

However, the chorus assures the listener that it's okay because the singer has their back. When the days are dark, and the nights are blue, it's okay because they got your back. The lyrics paint a picture of the bond shared between two individuals, and how one person can be the calming presence for the other when they're in distress.

The song ends on a positive note with the singer reiterating that they have their loved ones back, no matter how hard things may get.
