Ohio
Skyler Lyrics

As I look around
The singer is surveying their surroundings

I realize that everything's so gray
The singer sees dullness and a lack of vibrancy in the world

And it's not that much
The observations being made are not significant

Not that much...to say
The artist feels a lack of communication is possible

I miss you so bad
The artist longs for someone who is not present

I feel like my life is incomplete
Without the person they miss, the singer feels there is something missing from their life

But it's not that much
Despite their intense longing, the singer does not feel they have much to say

Out of my way
The artist is determined and focused on a goal

I'm gonna give it to you anyplace
The artist is willing to try anything to achieve their goal

And I need you here with me
The artist needs the person they miss to be present

So out of my way
The singer will overcome any obstacle to get to their goal

And I miss you
The artist reiterates their longing for the absent person

The nights are so long
The singer experiences time passing slowly and tediously

There's nothing but time to sit and think
The singer has ample opportunity for contemplation

And regret the day
The singer has a specific event or moment they feel remorse for

That you left
The person they miss has departed

I never meant a thing to you
The artist reflects on their past relationship with the absent person and feels unimportant in their eyes

You won't come back to me
The singer feels resigned to the fact that the person they miss will not return

But now I know that everything that's good must end
The singer recognizes the transitory nature of pleasant experiences

And nothing turns out like I planned
The artist expresses disappointment and frustration at how things have turned out

And though I know my heart will mend
The artist is optimistic about their ability to recover from heartbreak

I wish I got that second chance now
The artist expresses regret at not being able to try again with the absent person

Please don't...
The singer makes a plea to someone, potentially the absent person

The stars to shine on your face
The artist ascribes celestial beauty to the absent person

I will wait for the stars to shine on your face
The singer will endure in the hopes of a reunion in the future

I will wait
The singer is committing to waiting for the absent person to return
