United State of Mine
The Baseballs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The room was a crowd but it felt like we were only ones
Where have you been hiding
Your love providing
Now I'm all out of time, I'm all out of time
To know that you are mine, know that you are mine
Coz when I realized
Now I'm all out of tune, I'm all out of key
The day I realized
You left me for America
for America
I wake up in the evening a I reach for your hand in my bed
I try to figure out why your side is made and cold instead
I wish that you'd confided
And not try to hide it
Now I'm all out of time, I'm all out of time
To know that you are mine, know that you are mine
Coz when I realized
You left me for America
Now I'm all out of tune, I'm all out of key
The day I realized
You left me for America
And all the words you said are empty now
Just like my dreams they come back to haunt me
And if our paths cross once again my dear
I'll hanging on till I see you
Now I'm all out of time, I'm all out of time
To know that you are mine, know that you are mine
Coz when I realized
You left me for America
No, no, no
Now I'm all out of tune, I'm all out of key
The day I realized
You left me for America
The Baseballs's song "United State of Mine" is a heartbreaking tale of a person left behind by a loved one who moved to America. The song starts with the singer being blinded by the lights that marked the end of a show they attended with their loved one. Despite the crowd, it felt like the only two people in the room. However, the singer wakes up later, reaching for their lover's hand, but only finding a cold, empty bed. They wish their partner had confided in them instead of hiding the decision to leave, leaving the singer feeling out of time and out of tune without them. The lyrics show the singer's heartbreak, loneliness, and longing for their lost love.
Furthermore, the song also suggests that the singer's hopes of reliving their love with the memories, dreams, and the possibility of their paths crossing again. However, as the song progresses, he comes to the realization that their love is lost, and all the words spoken were merely empty promises. The singer is left alone, out of time and key, bitter that his partner left him for America.
Line by Line Meaning
Blind by the lights when the music died and we show was done
We were so caught up in the event and the atmosphere that we didn't notice when the music stopped and the show ended.
The room was a crowd but it felt like we were only ones
Although the room was filled with people, we only saw each other and felt like we were the only ones there.
Where have you been hiding
I'm curious as to why I haven't seen or heard from you.
Your love providing
Were you providing your love to someone else?
Now I'm all out of time, I'm all out of time
I don't have any more time to be with you.
To know that you are mine, know that you are mine
I'm sad that I didn't get to confirm if you belonged to me.
Coz when I realized
I didn't understand earlier, but now I do.
You left me for America
You left me to go to America and I miss you.
Now I'm all out of tune, I'm all out of key
Without you, nothing seems to fit right and I'm unhappy.
The day I realized
The precise moment I understood.
I wake up in the evening a I reach for your hand in my bed
At night, I instinctively look for you next to me.
I try to figure out why your side is made and cold instead
I'm perplexed as to why your side of the bed is empty and cold.
I wish that you'd confided
I would have preferred it if you had told me the truth.
And not try to hide it
Instead of keeping secrets from me.
And all the words you said are empty now
The things you said to me no longer hold any meaning after you left me.
Just like my dreams they come back to haunt me
Like my nightmares, the memories of you stay with me and torment me.
And if our paths cross once again my dear
If we ever meet again in the future.
I'll hanging on till I see you
I will hold on to the hope of seeing you again.
No, no, no
I am expressing my sadness and disbelief that you left me.
