Love Song For Karen
Sam Hart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Karen when you don't pick up the phone
I think about the possibility that
Aliens have taken you
And I would have to walk this world alone
Wondering if you were happier
Up there in the stars so shining bright
And in this San Francisco light
You cut through the morning fog
Hold my hand until we are inside
Until we feel alive again
All is said and done
There's one thing that I know it's

[Chorus]
I need to be with you
It's all that I am all I wanna be
And I can never be without you
Heads together stuck like glue
Forever two in one and one in two
Heads together stuck like glue
Forever two in one and one in two

When our body parts begin to
Turn to nuts and bolts
Our two hearts won't realize that
They are getting old
If there comes a day when my
Robotic arms can't hold you in your sleep
I know we'll find ourselves
Together in the deep





Chorus x 2

Line by Line Meaning

Karen when you don't pick up the phone
When you don't answer my call, I worry that something may have happened to you.


I think about the possibility that Aliens have taken you
My mind starts to imagine all the possible reasons why you may not be answering my calls, like being abducted by aliens.


And I would have to walk this world alone Wondering if you were happier Up there in the stars so shining bright And in this San Francisco light
If you were really gone, I would be left with the constant thought of wondering if you were happy with the aliens, and I would be alone in this world, missing you while looking at the stars or wandering around San Francisco.


You cut through the morning fog Hold my hand until we are inside Until we feel alive again
You are the one who lights up my life and makes the world look brighter. I need your hand on mine to feel alive.


All is said and done There's one thing that I know it's
If everything else fails, there is one thing I am sure of.


I need to be with you It's all that I am all I wanna be And I can never be without you Heads together stuck like glue Forever two in one and one in two Heads together stuck like glue Forever two in one and one in two
I cannot imagine living without you. I want to be with you always, together as one without ever being separated.


When our body parts begin to Turn to nuts and bolts Our two hearts won't realize that They are getting old
As we age and our bodies start to fail us, our love will remain the same, not noticing the passing of time.


If there comes a day when my Robotic arms can't hold you in your sleep I know we'll find ourselves Together in the deep
Even if the worst-case scenario happens, and I become a machine, and I can't hold you anymore; we will still be together in some other form- beyond this world.


Chorus x 2
The chorus is a reaffirmation of my love and commitment to you, Karen.

I'm a Karen and I'm getting bombarded by negative Karen things online all the time now. I found this while searching for something positive about being a Karen today. I love this! Thank you!

I think I've listened to this song at least 150 times, and it still hasn't gotten old. The melody is so catchy, but I don't mind when it gets stuck in my head :)

...This is fantastic. You are so talented. Sitting here wondering where the rest of you guys are in the world. Keep it up, bought your music on iTunes, making me tear up.

I love how your lyrics are kind of absurd and leaning towards comedy but you keep the seriousness of them. Silly lyrics made deep and heart filled. It's quite amazing and it's a good source of inspiration for me. My lyrics tend to lean towards comedy when i write but now i know that i can keep that but still make it a serious song. Thank You, you've given me hope that i can still write songs. Seriously, thank you!
