Just Like That
The Webb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every year when this day rolls around
I think of the night we first tore up the town
And I wonder if you're laughing with your eyes glowing
Making pretty conversation with the wines flowing
I'm runnin' your place just like always
Just like always, baby

Everyday at least one time
I look at your face in the back of my mind
When you're smiling at the ocean and your eyes shining
When your hair's a red river and it's all mine
For a thousand days just like always

Maybe someday I believe we'll forget
I'll really learn to live again, I'll live without regret
Funny, isn't it? This man ain't laughing yet
Does love really last forever?
Does the ocean love the sunset every time?

I pass your street, I look both ways, so incomplete
And I think that I might see you but of course, I don't
And I wish that you would call me but I know you won't




And I love you anyway just like always
Just like always, baby, just like always, just like always

Overall Meaning

The Webb's song "Just Like That" is a nostalgic ballad about the memories of a past relationship. The singer reminisces about their time together and wonders if their former partner is still thinking of them. The song's opening lines suggest that the singer associates a specific day with memories of their former relationship. The night they first "tore up the town" is a significant memory in their mind. The singer then wonders if their partner is still enjoying life, indulging in good wine, and engaging in pretty conversation.


The second verse is more introspective and reflective. The singer thinks of their partner every day, imagining them smiling and shining, and the memory of being together. They long for the carefree times they spent together, when their partner's hair was a "red river." The singer holds onto the hope that perhaps one day, they will forget the pain and regret they feel and learn to live again. The song ends on a bittersweet note, with the singer still pining for their former partner, but accepting that they may never hear from them again.


Overall, "Just Like That" is a moving account of the pain and yearning that come with a failed romance. The lyrics are evocative and poignant, capturing the ups and downs of relationships and the unanswered questions that often linger.

Every year when this day rolls around
Whenever this day comes each year


I think of the night we first tore up the town
I remember the night we had a lot of fun


And I wonder if you're laughing with your eyes glowing
I'm curious if you're happy and smiling


Making pretty conversation with the wines flowing
Talking nicely while enjoying some drinks


I'm runnin' your place just like always
I go to your place like I always do


Everyday at least one time
At least once every day


I look at your face in the back of my mind
I remember what your face looks like


When you're smiling at the ocean and your eyes shining
When you're happy and looking at the ocean


When your hair's a red river and it's all mine
When your hair is red and I feel like it's mine


For a thousand days just like always
For many days, like I always do


Maybe someday I believe we'll forget
I hope one day we can forget


I'll really learn to live again, I'll live without regret
I want to learn to live again without regret


Funny, isn't it? This man ain't laughing yet
I find it strange that I'm not happy yet


Does love really last forever?
I wonder if love can really last forever


Does the ocean love the sunset every time?
I wonder if the ocean always loves the sunset


I pass your street, I look both ways, so incomplete
I walk through your street feeling incomplete


And I think that I might see you but of course, I don't
I hope to see you but I never do


And I wish that you would call me but I know you won't
I want you to call me but I know you won't


And I love you anyway just like always
Regardless, I still love you like always


Just like always, baby, just like always, just like always
Like I always do - always, always, always
