Bodyaches
Sugar & Gold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My blood flows warm and I know that it's too soon, no, not today, not today
And I'm hanging on to threads of clothes and things you left here the last time you stayed, you stayed
And t's true that it it will never be the same girl but I don't care 'cuz I'm just not that way
I can remember the taste of your sweat
I can remember the nights that we spent
I can still hear all the sounds that you make
'Cause I got the body aches, soul shakes, hit me but go easy on me, baby
Hit me with a soft clap, wake me from this long nap, go easy on me, baby
Body aches, soul shakes, hit me but go easy on me, baby
Hit me with a soft clap, wake me from this long nap, go easy on me, baby
Of all the things you shared there's only one thing I can't understand, understand
You seemed so close to me but then so far when I held your hand, I held your hand
And I wake up thinking all about the good times day after day, after day
And it's true that it will never be the same girl but I don't care 'cause I'm just not that way
I can remember the taste of your sweat
I can remember the nights that we spent
I can still hear all the sounds that you make
I don't know how much more I can take
'Cause I got the body aches, soul shakes, hit me but go easy on me, baby
Hit me with a soft clap, wake me from this long nap, go easy on me, baby
Body aches, soul shakes, hit me but go easy on me, baby
Hit me with a soft clap, wake me from this long nap, go easy on me, baby
Body aches, soul shakes, hit me but go easy on me, baby
Hit me with a soft clap, wake me from this long nap, go easy on me, baby
Body aches, soul shakes, hit me but go easy on me, baby
Hit me with a soft clap, wake me from this long nap, go easy on me, baby
I can remember the taste of your sweat
I can remember the nights that we spent
I can still hear all the sounds that you make
I don't know how much more I can take
Body aches
The lyrics to Sugar & Gold's song "Bodyaches" describe the pain of a break-up, as the singer wishes they could wake up next to their former lover one more time. They reminisce about the good times they shared, such as taste of their sweat and the sounds they made, and desperately cling to the physical reminders of their past relationship like threads of clothes and things left behind. Despite knowing that things will never be the same, they continue to hold onto memories of their former partner, and the pain of the separation manifests as physical bodyaches and soul shakes.
The repeated pleas for their former lover to go easy on them, "hit me with a soft clap, wake me from this long nap," suggest a desire to be comforted and awakened from the painful state of mourning they find themselves in. However, they also acknowledge that they are not the type to hold onto love so tightly, implying that this particular relationship was unique and especially important to them.
Overall, "Bodyaches" captures the heart-wrenching feeling of longing for someone who is no longer present, and the struggle to move on from a relationship that felt all-consuming.
Line by Line Meaning
I wish that we could wake up in the same room, time past away, away
I yearn for us to reside in the same place, not affected by the passage of time
My blood flows warm and I know that it's too soon, no, not today, not today
I feel passion but it's not yet the right time for us to be together
And I'm hanging on to threads of clothes and things you left here the last time you stayed, you stayed
I cling to remnants of your presence that you left behind when you were here
And it's true that it will never be the same girl but I don't care 'cuz I'm just not that way
I understand that things will never be identical to before, but it doesn't bother me because I don't operate that way
Of all the things you shared there's only one thing I can't understand, understand
I comprehend everything about you except for one aspect
You seemed so close to me but then so far when I held your hand, I held your hand
When I touched you, you felt both near and distant at the same time
And I wake up thinking all about the good times day after day, after day
Every day I awaken consumed by thoughts of our pleasant past experiences
'Cause I got the body aches, soul shakes, hit me but go easy on me, baby
I am experiencing physical symptoms of longing and emotional torment, please be gentle with me
Hit me with a soft clap, wake me from this long nap, go easy on me, baby
Gently awaken me from my emotional slumber and handle me with care
Body aches, soul shakes, hit me but go easy on me, baby
I am racked with physical and emotional pain, please be kind to me
I can remember the taste of your sweat
I vividly recall the sensation and flavor of your perspiration
I can remember the nights that we spent
I vividly recall the quality time we shared together
I can still hear all the sounds that you make
I still remember the sounds you made, even though we are apart
I don't know how much more I can take
I'm unsure how much more of this emotional pain I can withstand

Long live Hollister. Long live this song. Thank god I had shazam back in the day while I was walking around the store, or I would've missed out on this masterpiece
@dylanjacob6309
Always coming back to this song ❤
@rachelcaprio4359
The fact that this song only has 18,000 views is a sin. It was in heavy rotation at Hollister.... this is the biggest crime of mankind. It's mind boggling to even think that this song is so god damn underrated... :(
@szendreijozsef4851
Refreshing!!!!
