The Way I Feel
R. Shand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A nobody's gonna make it easy
Left out when I want to be inside
As it's all goin' down
(Your love) your love is enough to feed me
(Held up) held up for another evening
(Lord knows) lord knows I could use the freedom
For waiting around when I need you
Who are we to fall to pieces baby (oh baby oh)
Worked so hard to see things through
(See it through, see it through)
Who are we to question each other mama (ohhh)
I know what it takes to make it right for you
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
(This life) this life there's no surprises
(So good) so good well I can't defy it
(So true) so true that I want to try it
All without making a sound
(Hooked up) hooked up in a situation
(I'm down) I'm down with the invitation
(New love) new love and a revelation
For keeping my head to ground (oh)
Who are we to fall to pieces baby (oh baby oh)
(Oh baby oh baby)
Worked so hard to see things through
(See it through, see it through)
Who are we to question each other mama (oh)
I know what it takes to make it right for you
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
Here I come, here I come
Here I come, here I come (talk too much)
Here I come, here I come
Here I come, here I come
Here I come, here I come (talk too much)
Here I come, here I come
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
The lyrics of R. Shand's "The Way I Feel" explores the challenge of navigating a romantic relationship in the face of obstacles that threaten to tear the lovers apart. The song begins with the singer waking up to the realization that nobody is going to give him an easy ride towards achieving his desires. He notes that he often feels left out when he yearns to be included, and despite the difficulties he faces, your love is enough to feed him. The singer expresses a longing for freedom, which he believes will enable him to fulfill his goals. He recognizes that waiting around for someone can be a difficult undertaking, but he needs them by his side.
The chorus questions the fragility of relationships and how easy it is to fall apart. However hard it may seem, the singer is willing to work tirelessly to see the relationship work. He is committed to understanding his partner's needs and is willing to do whatever it takes to make things right. He recognizes that while things may not always be rosy, they can work with some effort.
The song's bridge affirms the idea of cherishing the things that matter while acknowledging the challenges we face. The verses reveal the singer's commitment to working towards his dreams despite the challenges he faces. The questioning of the relationship is an indication of his willingness to persevere despite the challenges.
