The Lumineers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I ain't nobody's problem but my own
Said I ain't nobody's issue, don't you come around, baby, I don't miss you at all
Ain't nobody's problem but my own
Well I found myself a place
Every smile that you waste
Every other careless look you ever tossed aside
That I can't go on loving you
And that's the truth
It don't feel good, but, honey, it feels right
'Cause, I ain't nobody's problem but my own
Said I ain't nobody's problem but my own
Said I ain't nobody's issue, don't you come around, baby, I don't miss you at all
Ain't nobody's problem but my own
Well of love I've had my share, I got plenty of people really willing to care
At times I might get wicked in my pride
But I smoked that mountain air, honey, I've been here, and I've been there
At times I might get lonely, honey, I don't cry
'Cause, I ain't nobody's problem but my own
Said I ain't nobody's problem but my own
Said I ain't nobody's issue, don't you come around, baby, I don't miss you at all
Ain't nobody's problem but my own
There's times at night when it's cold outside, the moon don't shine, the winds are crying
I wonder if you're at home and you might let me back inside
We can huddle up by the old stove, we can kindle up some burned out coals
And we can love ourselves like the days of old
Said no, no, no, no, no
'Cause, I ain't nobody's problem but my own
Said I ain't nobody's problem but my own
Said I ain't nobody's issue, don't you come around, baby, I don't miss you at all
Ain't nobody's problem but my own
Well, I ain't nobody's problem but my own
Said I ain't nobody's problem but my own
Said I ain't nobody's issue, don't you come around, baby, I don't miss you at all
Ain't nobody's problem but my own
In their song Ain’t Nobody’s Problem, The Lumineers express the idea of being self-reliant and moving on from a past relationship. The singer declares that he is no longer somebody’s problem or issue, and that he doesn’t miss the person he used to be with. He has found a place where he feels content and is confident in his decision to let go of the relationship, even though it doesn’t always feel good. The lyrics also hint at the idea of longing for the past, but ultimately rejecting the idea of going back to what is familiar and comfortable.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful with its repetition: "I ain’t nobody’s problem but my own," which emphasizes the idea of personal independence and the feeling of moving on. Overall, the lyrics are a reflection of the desire for self-reliance, independence, and the courage to move on from relationships that no longer work.

Wesley and Neyla sound so beautiful together. I don't know what it is, but the way her higher pitched singing blends with his lead just sounds so good.
