I Get Lonely
Shade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feels so close now, baby
I'm so close to getting on out!
You've heard my story now, honey
From my side and now I think it's time
To chase that dark away
Too long, been hiding away
I can taste it now
I think I finally can say
That I can get over it
Been lying to myself
Been awful to myself, 'cause I've been down
But I can get out of this
Save my soul from hell
Be better to myself
'cause I'm not down
No, not anymore
How long has it been?
Has the sun been out all this time?
Let's chase it every day
Now the ice is melting away
Breathe that oxygen
So pure, my it blows me away
And I taste it now
So loud, I'm ready to say
That I can get over it
Been lying to myself
Been awful to myself 'cause I've been down
But I can get out of this
Save my soul from hell
Be better to myself
No, I'm not down
No not anymore
And as for all the love that I gave ya
I know deep down inside it won't go to waste. Yes, I hope
You take it forward
Into the life you'd like to lead
Let the pain and pity be
Every sorry, might have been
On the back of a new leaf
To someone you couldn't bare to leave




Onwards and upwards,
Pay it forward

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics express a sense of anticipation and determination. The singer feels like they are on the verge of moving on from their past and leaving it behind. They acknowledge that they have shared their story with someone, probably a romantic partner, and now they believe it's time to overcome the darkness that has been weighing them down. They have been hiding away for too long and can now taste the freedom that lies ahead.


The second verse continues the theme of personal growth and self-improvement. The singer admits to lying to themselves and treating themselves poorly while they were in a difficult place emotionally. But now they feel empowered to overcome their struggles and save their soul from a metaphorical hell. They vow to be better to themselves and declare that they are no longer down, indicating a newfound optimism and strength.


The chorus reinforces the message of resilience and determination. The singer reflects on the passage of time and wonders if they have been missing out on the joys of life while in their dark state. They express a desire to chase the sunlight and embrace each day with enthusiasm. The ice melting away symbolizes the thawing of their emotional burdens, and they feel a renewed sense of vitality and purity.


The final verse takes a slightly different direction, focusing on the love the singer has given to someone else. They reassure the recipient of their love that it won't go to waste. Instead, they encourage the person to take that love and carry it forward into the life they want to lead. They suggest letting go of pain and self-pity and starting fresh on the back of a new leaf. The lyrics convey a sense of generosity and a belief in the power of paying it forward, encouraging the listener to move onwards and upwards, creating positive ripples in their own life and the lives of others.

She's like the lonely shade of blue
Counting down the hours
Till the bell rings after school
So she wrote that night
Don't fall in love with her she said
Don't fall in love, don't fall in love
Timing of questions on his mind tore their world apart
Now the riddles keep him up
So he wrote that night
Don't fall in love with him he said
Don't fall in love, don't fall in love
I said
Don't you want to disappear?
Would you do it again, oh, Would you take me back?
I said don't you, baby won't you, baby don't you
Would you live it again?
She's like the mystery unsaid
Chasing every rose
With a daydream in her hand
Still holding on
Don't fall in love with her she said
Don't fall in love
Don't fall in love
I said
Don't you want to disappear?
But you did it again, oh, Would you take me back?
I said don't you, baby won't you, baby don't you
I said don't you, baby won't you, baby don't you want to do it again
Don't, don't, don't you want to do it again?...
She's like the lonely shade of blue
Counting down the hours
Till the bell rings after school
So she wrote that night
Don't fall in love with her she said
Don't fall in love, don't fall in love
