Just Like That
Tangled Hair Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just like that
Things will change
I assured you
Like I do
Memory lapse
A change of mind
Perfect timing
Hard to find
It's like you never left
It's like you never went away
In this environment
We'll always miss your face
And I know where you are
I hear this room's decay
And you don't need to hide
I see you clear as day, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just like that
Things will change
I assured you
Like I do
Memory lapse
Or change of mind
Perfect timing
Hard to find
Just like that
Things will change
I assured you
Like I do
Cheers to you




Behind the lense
It's a shame that every picture is missing a James

The final verse adds a bittersweet note to the song, with the mention of "missing a James" in every picture. This could be interpreted as a reference to a specific person who has passed away, or simply as a reminder that even in happy moments, there may be a tinge of sadness for what or who is missing.
