Where You Are
Orson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the crazy me and the devil by my side
Well, I just can't help but crack a smile every now and then
And I'm just wondering where you are tonight
Back when we knew everything too much for our own good
The world was ours and all we had was time
We didn't make it all the way we did the best we could
Oh, never knew where we were going
Storming every single moment of every day
Oh, never had any way of knowing
There'd be any chance, it could all just go away
God knows how you drag out the best and worst in me
I could never stop you I never even tried
Maybe I've already been the best I'll ever be
And I'm just wondering where you are tonight
Oh, the wind just keeps on blowing
And I'm losing track of ships that pass me by
Oh, are you doing any better?
Are you somewhere lost inside the same big sky?
That picture of the both of us, it didn't quite turn out
We never really found the perfect light
The final drops of summer slipping through the magic hour
And I'm just wondering where you are tonight
I'm just wondering where you are tonight
Are you somewhere out there?
The song "Where You Are" by Orson is a wistful reflection on nostalgia and the passing of time. The lyrics center around the singer reminiscing about a past relationship and wondering where their former partner is now. The first verse sets the scene with a faded picture of the two of them, and the singer acknowledges that they can't help but smile when they think about the crazy times they had together. However, there's an undertone of sadness and longing, as the singer is clearly missing their ex and wondering what they're up to.
The second verse adds more detail to the memories that the singer is recalling - they remember feeling invincible when they were young and reckless, believing that the world was theirs for the taking. But even though they didn't make it all the way, they did the best they could, which speaks to a sense of acceptance and closure regarding the end of the relationship. Still, the singer can't shake the feeling of wondering where their ex is now and what they're doing.
The chorus amplifies the theme of uncertainty and the passage of time, with the singer feeling lost and adrift as the wind keeps blowing and ships pass them by. They wonder if their ex is doing any better than they are, and if they're similarly lost in the vastness of the sky.
Overall, "Where You Are" is a bittersweet and introspective song that captures the contradictions of looking back on a failed relationship - the happy memories mingling with the sense of loss and regret.

A picture of the two of us, I don't remember
I can't seem to recall the moment when we took a picture together
When the crazy me and the devil by my side
Back then, I was wild and reckless and always making bad decisions
Well, I just can't help but crack a smile every now and then
Despite everything, I still find myself happy sometimes
And I'm just wondering where you are tonight
I can't help but think about where you are right now
Back when we knew everything too much for our own good
We were young and naive and thought we had all the answers
The world was ours and all we had was time
We felt like we could do anything and had all the time in the world
We didn't make it all the way we did the best we could
We didn't achieve everything we wanted, but we gave it our all
Oh, never knew where we were going
We didn't have a clear direction or plan for the future
Storming every single moment of every day
We were constantly experiencing intense emotions and actions
Oh, never had any way of knowing
We had no idea what the outcome of our decisions would be
There'd be any chance, it could all just go away
We didn't realize that everything could disappear so suddenly
God knows how you drag out the best and worst in me
You have a way of bringing out both the positive and negative sides of me
I could never stop you I never even tried
I always let you do what you wanted and never attempted to intervene
Maybe I've already been the best I'll ever be
I may have already peaked and achieved my greatest potential
And I'm just wondering where you are tonight
I can't help but wonder about your current whereabouts
Oh, the wind just keeps on blowing
Time continues to march on incessantly
And I'm losing track of ships that pass me by
I'm having difficulty keeping track of opportunities and people that come into my life
Oh, are you doing any better?
I hope that you are doing well
Are you somewhere lost inside the same big sky?
I wonder if you are struggling with the same uncertainty and confusion as I am
That picture of the both of us, it didn't quite turn out
The photo of us together didn't come out perfectly
We never really found the perfect light
We never quite had the right circumstances for a flawless moment
The final drops of summer slipping through the magic hour
The last moments of summer are fading away during the most beautiful part of the day
And I'm just wondering where you are tonight
I can't help but think about where you are right now
I'm just wondering where you are tonight
I'm just curious about your location and well-being
Are you somewhere out there?
I hope that you are still out there and doing well

This is one of the most underrated songs during the 00. It sucks that they didn't get bigger than they deserved.
