Without You
The King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a hot room
septembers gloom
lick my lashes
kiss my cheeks
remembered lines in between the sheets
alone without you
someone pass the phone
shall we try to make july
you're like the sea to hold
impossible and cold
but your taste lingers on
on my hands and on my tongue
alone without you
pass the phone
someone pass the phone
shall we try to make july
shall we try to make july
when you called me at home
You said you lived on your own
just dreaming of me
When I called you at home
someone else picked up the phone
It wasn't you
The song "Without You" by The King is a melancholic track that highlights the feeling of being alone without someone special. The opening lyrics "alone without you, a hot room, September's gloom" set the scene for a hot gloomy day where the singer is missing his lover. The imagery of "lick my lashes, kiss my cheeks, remembered lines in between the sheets" suggests that the singer is reminiscing about intimate moments, trying to hold on to the memory of his partner.
In the next verse, the singer is feeling the absence of his lover even more strongly, and he urges someone to pass the phone, hinting that he wants to reach out to his partner. The lines "you're like the sea to hold, impossible and cold, but your taste lingers on, on my hands and on my tongue" convey the idea that despite the difficulties of their relationship, the singer can't forget about his lover.
The chorus repeats the theme of the verse, and the last line "shall we try to make July" expresses the longing of the singer to rekindle the romance and bring back the good times. The final verse adds a twist to the story, as the singer realizes that his efforts to contact his partner have been in vain, and he ends up talking to someone else who picked up the phone.
Overall, "Without You" is a poignant song that captures the bittersweet feelings of missing someone who is not physically present. The lyrics are beautifully crafted and evoke a sense of yearning and nostalgia, and the melody adds to the emotional impact of the song.

Tradução em Português
O que você faz quando você não fica melhor
Os braços fortes ficam fracos para segurá-la
Oh Deus, me dê força suficiente para passar por isso
Sem dormir, essa loucura está me levando para a borda e fica ali ao meu lado
Encolhida na borda
Oh Deus, tudo o que eu peço é um pouco de alívio
Apenas um momento de paz
Eu não quero viver sem você
Eu não estou pronto para viver sem você
Então, vamos dançar um pouco
Rir um pouco
Esperar um pouco mais
Porque eu não quero viver sem você, sem você
Este espinho no meu lado
Embora ele corta e me atormenta
Ele me abre os olhos
Eu nunca tinha visto tão claramente
E oh Deus, eu te agradeço
Porque você me pôs de joelhos
De volta aos meus joelhos
Eu não quero viver sem você
Eu não estou pronto para viver sem você
Então, vamos dançar um pouco
Ria um pouco
Espero um pouco mais
Sim, vamos dançar um pouco
Rir um pouco
E esperar um pouco mais
Porque eu não quero viver sem você, sem você
Ouvi outra voz do outro lado
Cantando o amor passa rápido como o inverno se torna em tempo de verão
Cantando amor passa rápido
Ouvi outra voz do outro lado
Cantando o amor passa rápido como o inverno se torna em tempo de verão
Cantando passa rápido
Então, vamos dançar um pouco
Rir um pouco
E esperar um pouco mais
Sim, vamos dançar um pouco
Rir um pouco
E esperar um pouco mais
Porque eu não quero viver sem você
Não, eu não quero viver sem você
Sem você

FOR KING & COUNTRY LYRICS
"Without You"
(feat. Courtney)
What do you do when you don't get better
Strong arms get to, get to weak to hold her
Oh God give me and just enough strength to make it through
Sleepless this madness is walking me out to the ledge
And stands there beside me shriving out on the edge
Oh God all I, all I ask is a little relief
Just a moment of peace
I don't want to live without you
I'm not ready to live without you
So let's dance a little
Laugh a little
Hope a little more
Cause I don't want to live without you, without you
This thorn in my side
Though it cuts and stings me
As opens these eyes
I've never seen so clearly
And oh God I thank you
Cause you bring me to my knees
Back on my knees
I don't want to live without you
I'm not ready to live without you
So let's dance a little
Laugh a little
And hope a little more
Yes let us dance a little
Laugh a little
And hope a little more
Cause I don't want to live without you, without you
I heard a voice from the other side
Singing "hold fast, love last"
As winter turns into summertime
Singing "hold fast, love last"
Heard another voice from the other side
Singing "hold fast, love last"
As winter turns into summertime
Singing "hold fast"
So let's dance a little
Laugh a little
And hope a little more
Yes let's dance a little
Laugh a little
And hope a little more
Cause I don't want to live without you
No, I don't want to live without you
Without you

My mom has been for a long time. I think like 4-5 years. I’m so happy she is. I promised I would never smoke or do drugs or whatever. I plan to keep that promise.

I normally never cry, but this song brought me to full on tears. My mom has stage 4 kidney disease and has to wait for someone to die to save her life, or have someone willing to get tested and be a perfect match. I never realized how I felt about her situation until I listened to this song. It brought me to question what I would do without her. My parents are divorced and if she didn’t make it I would have to stay with my dad and go to a new school and never see my old friends, my dad isn’t a Christian and he would do everything to change my belief. I wonder if she prays for just enough strength to make it through. But how she feels on the inside, I will never know. But what I do know is that I will love her as much as I can and just pray that she doesn’t leave me.
Thank you to everyone who has liked and commented. My mom got her transplant (from an AMAZING living donor) Tuesday May 18th and came home Friday May 21st, God is so good!! She is doing much better and we are praying for a speedy recovery!
