Blessings
Tom Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I'll be going out tonight
We could go to yours
You could come to mine
I got no money for the pub, no
Could probably scrape enough for the bus though, yeah

And what a time to be alive
Four bottles down my neck and I'm feeling fine
So let's hear it for the good times
Let's hear it for the good times

And counting our blessings
But it don't take us too long
'Cause our lives ain't like a movie
Or a Katy Perry song
And counting our blessings
'Cause we got friends to lean on
Got no money in our pockets
We're too busy getting drunk
We're counting our, just counting our blessings
Just counting our, just counting our blessings

Well, I really hate to kill the vibe
But who's going to the shop
We could use supplies
I'm busy playing FIFA
You won't know I'm gonna beat ya'

And what a time to be alive
Fat Freddy's on the Drop on Spotify
So let's hear it for the good times
Let's hear it for the good times

And counting our blessings
But it don't take us too long
'Cause our lives ain't like a movie
Or a Katy Perry song
And counting our blessings
'Cause we got friends to lean on
Got no money in our pockets
We're too busy getting drunk
We're counting our

And when the night is over
Lay your head upon my shoulders
Glad I'm coming down with you
'Cause nothing really matters
As long as you're right here

Been counting our blessings
'Cause our lives ain't like a movie
Or a Katy Perry song
And counting our blessings
'Cause we got friends to lean on
Got no money in our pockets
We're too busy getting drunk
We're counting our, just counting our blessings
Just counting our, we're counting our blessings
We're counting our blessings
Just counting our blessings




Counting our, counting our blessings
Counting our blessings

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tom Walker's song "Blessings" talk about the small things in life that are often overlooked or taken for granted. In the first verse, the song speaks of going out, but not having enough money to go to a pub, which shows the struggles of being broke. The artist then shifts to talking about the gratitude for what is present in life, like friends and shared moments, rather than the negative circumstances that might be happening.


Throughout the chorus, counting blessings becomes the song's main theme, where the artist emphasizes the importance of looking at the upside of life, even if there isn't money in the pocket. He highlights that life isn't like a movie, or a Katy Perry song, which often romanticises things, and chooses to appreciate the little things that life has to offer.


The final verse speaks to the importance of love and support, specifically from the company of friends. It shows that as long as there are people around who care, then everything will be fine, and a sense of thankfulness will always be present.


Overall, the song "Blessings" encourages listeners to reflect on the things they have and the people around them to feel grateful, which is a lesson that everyone could learn.

I'm speechless, Tom.
You took my heart when I came across 'Fly Away With Me'. I listen to it every single day, at least once. It always make me emotional. You have just taken my heart for the second time with this song. It has made me emotional again. I didn't know they were such deep feelings inside this rock. It's nice to have met my inner me. Thanks, Tom. Keep up the great job! 💖
