Waves
Tribute to Mr. Probz and Robin Schulz Lyrics

Yesterday, when I was almost home
The singer is reflecting on a past moment when they were close to home.

There were people standing right outside my door
Upon arriving at their almost-home, the singer noticed people standing outside their door.

And my lady was lying on the floor, on the floor
The singer's significant other was on the floor, possibly hurt or unconscious.

Yeah, not a single word had come out of my mouth
The artist remained silent during this moment, likely in shock or disbelief.

I just stepped outside and I headed south
Instead of entering the scene, the artist left and went south.

Me and my old shoes and this old fashioned blues
The singer left with just themselves, their old shoes, and a sense of sadness.

That I sent for you
The singer is conveying their sadness to someone else, possibly the person on the floor.

I turned my back and I walked into the night
The artist walked away into the darkness, turning their back on the situation.

No looking back to whatever I left behind
The artist is not dwelling on what they may have left behind at home.

I didn't wave goodbye, I didn't even wave goodbye
The artist did not say goodbye, not even with a wave, before leaving.

I turned my back and I walked a million miles
The singer walked away for a long time, feeling like they traveled a million miles.

Under the burning sun and the blinding light
The sun was likely hot and bright during their journey.

I grabbed my stuff, it was really tough
The singer had to gather their belongings quickly and it wasn't easy.

I slipped out and didn't even close the door
The singer left in a hurry and didn't bother to close the door behind them.

Nothing left to close the door for
The singer had nothing left at home to stay for.
