It's Always You
Tate Brusa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Watching ocean sunrise
Is like swimming through your green eyes
Waiting for your voice to come around
I know that we are broken
It's like walking when there's no end
Hoping to find you along the way
And I know you think it's ok, just to stand there, and fall away
You're standing there, waiting for someone to call you their own
I try and I try, hoping that you'll change your mind
But after it all
Lay with me this way, let your feelings pour away
Wanting us to be each others everything
I'm taking the long road, but I'm wondering where the time goes
Thinking back to when our love arose
You're standing there, waiting for someone to call you their own
I try and I try, hoping that you'll change your mind
But after it all
And I know, you think it's ok, just to stand their, and fall away
You're standing there, waiting for someone to call you their own




I try and I try, hoping that you'll change your mind
But after it all, but after it all, it's always you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tate Brusa's song "It's Always You" are a clear and emotional representation of the frustration and longing that comes with unrequited love. Brusa begins by describing a beautiful scene of watching an ocean sunrise which reminds him of the person he loves and their green eyes. However, it quickly becomes clear that the relationship is broken and there seems to be no solution in sight. The metaphorical representation of the situation is depicted as walking when there is no end, hoping to find the person he loves along the way.


The chorus becomes the central focus of the song with the repeated phrase "You're standing there, waiting for someone to call you their own, I try and I try, hoping that you'll change your mind". Here, Brusa portrays the pain of constantly trying to convince someone to reciprocate the love and feeling of rejection from the one you love. Despite the rejection, the song ends on a bittersweet note with Brusa hoping that his love interest will change their mind one day, as it is always them that he will love.
