Found Another Way
Thornley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never live it with you
And every time there's a gift worth giving
You won't let me give it to you
When everything was right
Now everything seems wrong
The last words spoken
I found another way
I found another way
I found another way
And I want you notice
Empty houses are full of promise
So many things you can do
And every time that the phone starts ringing
I can't help but think that it's you.
When everything was right
Now everything seems wrong
The last words spoken
I found another way
I found another way
I found another way
And I want you notice
When everything was right
Now everything seems wrong
The last words spoken
I found another way
I found another way
I found another way
And I want you notice
The lyrics to Thornley's song "Found Another Way" depict a relationship that has come to an end, with the singer expressing confusion and frustration about the situation. The verse "How could you show me that life's worth living, I'll never live it with you" suggests that the person he was with was once a source of joy and inspiration, but now that they are no longer together, that feeling has faded away. Additionally, "And every time there's a gift worth giving, you won't let me give it to you" hints at a certain level of emotional distance that has developed between the two.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I found another way" several times, suggesting that the singer has found a different path and discovered a new perspective on life. He wants the person he was with to notice this change in him, almost as if he wants to prove a point. The line "empty houses are full of promise, so many things you can do" seems to suggest that the singer is exploring his newfound freedom and potential, perhaps feeling that he was held back in some way by the relationship he was in.
Overall, the lyrics of "Found Another Way" present a complex and emotionally charged story about the end of a relationship and the search for meaning and purpose in life. The repetition of the chorus creates a sense of hope and determination, while the verses hint at deeper feelings of sadness and confusion.
