40 Kinds of Sadness
Ryan Cabrera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Two days chasing me around
I go crazy when you're outside of my world
When you're outside of my world
No sounds singing me to sleep

I don't want the room to breathe
Just be with me...
Just be with me!

I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you're gone
And i know you're just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It's not enough
My eyes are waiting at the door
Just like every time before
Time flies so slow...
Time flies so slow!

[Chorus]
I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you're gone
And i know you're just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It's not enough

It's not enough, I don't know why
It's not enough, I miss you all the time
And I know you kinds like it.

[Chorus]
I feel.. yea.. 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you're gone
i know you're just around the corner




But just around the corner is not enough
It's not enough

Line by Line Meaning

Two days chasing me around
You are constantly in my thoughts and I cannot escape your presence


I go crazy when you're outside of my world
Your absence affects me in a negative way and causes me to feel unstable


When you're outside of my world
When we are not together or communicating, I feel like you are not a part of my world


No sounds singing me to sleep
Without you, I cannot find comfort or tranquility


I don't want the room to breathe
I am uncomfortable with space between us and want to be close to you


Just be with me...
I desire your company and presence


Just be with me!
I am begging you to spend time with me


I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
Your absence causes me intense emotional pain and suffering


I feel the same thing always happens when you're gone
Whenever you leave, I experience the same pain and sadness without fail


And i know you're just around the corner
I am aware that geographically you are close, but emotionally you feel far away


But just around the corner is not enough
Merely being near me is not sufficient to ease my emotional pain


It's not enough
I am still suffering from your emotional absence, despite your proximity


My eyes are waiting at the door
I am waiting for you to arrive, eagerly anticipating your presence


Just like every time before
This is a recurring experience for me, constantly waiting for your return


Time flies so slow...
The time spent apart from you feels like an eternity


I don't know why
Despite my efforts, I cannot explain why I am so affected by your absence


I miss you all the time
My longing for you persists constantly


And I know you kinds like it.
I have a feeling that you enjoy the effect you have on me


I feel.. yea.. 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
Your absence causes me an incredibly wide range of sadness and pain

Two days chasing me around
I go crazy when you're outside of my world
When you're outside of my world
No sounds singing me to sleep

I don't want the room to breathe
Just be with me...
Just be with me!

I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you're gone
And I know you're just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It's not enough
My eyes are waiting at the door
Just like every time before
Time flies so slow...
Time flies so slow!

[Chorus]
I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you're gone
And I know you're just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It's not enough

It's not enough, I don't know why
It's not enough, I miss you all the time
And I know you kinda like it.

[Chorus]
I feel.. yea.. 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you're gone
I know you're just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It's not enough

I totally feel 40 kind of sadness by listening to this and knowing that this was almost a decade ago and than nowadays the ¨hit¨ artist are people like justin bieber who has NEVER had such a great pop song like this one! I just wanna go back to the moments where Ryan Cabrera, Jesse McCartney, Teddy Geiger, etc were the it boys of pop music! Nostalgia...
