When
Tennessee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
But a river of our words keeps us apart
I could make the first move and hold you
Or let time tick and take your heart
The barrier is strong, the fences are tall
We'd rather stand our ground
Than start to fall
But then we move, we move in closer
I feel your warmth, your hand, your whisper
The movie's happy ending
Heartbeats that are blending
When we move, we move in closer
We lay there and I watch you as you go
Let the anger be much bigger than the love
We both reach out a hand and make it so
We choose what days to come are made of
We take a tiny step, and speak the softest words
Too many corners we've been round
To stop and loose it all
But then we move, we move in closer
I feel your warmth, your hand, your whisper
The movie's happy ending
Heartbeats that are blending
When we move, we move in closer
When we move, we move in closer
The lyrics of Tennessee's song "When" tell a poignant story of two individuals who are emotionally disconnected yet desire to bridge the gap between them. The first verse depicts a sense of distance and separation due to unspoken words and hesitation to take the first step towards each other. Despite their physical proximity, a metaphorical river of words keeps them emotionally apart, highlighting the barrier they need to overcome to connect.
The second verse emphasizes the internal struggle and fear of vulnerability that prevent them from initiating intimacy. The mention of standing one's ground instead of risking a potential fall suggests a reluctance to open up and expose their emotions. However, as the song progresses, there is a gradual shift towards a willingness to break down the barriers and take a leap of faith towards closeness.
The chorus signifies a moment of realization and mutual effort to come closer to one another. The warmth, touch, and whispers exchanged symbolize a newfound intimacy and connection that transcends the initial hesitations. The reference to a "happy ending" and blending heartbeats conveys a sense of emotional harmony and unity as they finally move towards each other.
The final verse reflects a decision to let go of past grievances and prioritize love over anger. By reaching out their hands and deliberately choosing to shape their future together, they acknowledge the importance of communication and mutual understanding in fostering a deeper connection. The mention of speaking soft words and taking tiny steps signifies a gradual progression towards closeness, despite the challenges they have faced.
Overall, the lyrics of "When" encapsulate the emotional journey of two individuals navigating through barriers and uncertainties to reach a point of genuine closeness and connection. Through vulnerability, communication, and a willingness to take risks, the song portrays the transformative power of love and the beauty of moving closer to one another despite the obstacles in their path.

THIS is the last target I really wanted to land. We needed another elite OT to beef up this O-line for the Nico years. It'd be great if we could get another DB and DL, but otherwise I think we've rounded out the important needs in this class if we land Warren. Hope those crystals are clear!

Jeffrey Lawson
YES..we need these 4&5stars especially on OL and DL both in 2024/2025 for the much needed depth going into the new 12 team CFP. We need to have as much depth in ordef to compete into the post season during the CFP's..this is the best way to win championships during the playoffs..GBO

This is the most fun I’ve had following the Vols since I was on campus at Gibbs Hall during the Dooley years. I always enjoyed interacting with the players and coaches at the Varsity Inn. I graduated from UT in 2013. I can’t imagine how fun it must be to have Heupel and that staff around. There is a reason UT is getting a reputation for being the fun school. Heupel expects everyone to work really hard and also have fun. It really is great to be a Tennessee Vol! 🍊🍊🍊
