Watershed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think you know, you know me well.
You always do so many things, so many things to me.
I think you know me well…
It took awhile for me to realise.
You were the best thing in my life.
'Cos all the time I wasted on, wondering about,
My brown haired girl, with a life so live…
Don't forget about the hurricanes that started off our lives.
They were the ones, the ones that taught us how to lie.
Sometimes I drive alone and my mind's racing too,
Catch up with you, to be with you,
Oh I wanna catch up with you, to be…
You always do the best, I might as well confess,
You always shine on me, just like you did today.
I might as well, I might as well, I might as well just say,
I think you know me well…
It's been awhile but now I'm holding on,
And there areso many things you do to make me strong.
It's six o'clock and the sun is up, and it's almost
Time to leave
I take you with me, to be with me
I take you with me, to be...
You always do the best, I might as well confess,
You always shine on me, just like you did today.
I might as well, I might as well, I might as well just say,
I think you know me well…
The lyrics of Watershed’s song Hurricane express a deep emotional connection between two people so intertwined that to separate them would seem impossible. The lines “Don't look too hard 'cos you will find me. I think you know, you know me well. You always do so many things, so many things to me. I think you know me well…” suggest a sense of familiarity and knowingness between the two individuals. They seem to have a deep understanding of each other and share a sense of comfort and trust. The use of the imagery of hurricanes in the chorus highlights the fact that their relationship may have been tumultuous but has since become a source of strength for both of them.
The first verse speaks of the realization that someone in the singer’s life is significant and has been a constant positive force. The line “You were the best thing in my life” speaks to this. The second verse delves into their shared past, and the chorus reveals the hardships they have faced together. The lines “Don't forget about the hurricanes that started off our lives. They were the ones, the ones that taught us how to lie” reveal that perhaps the turbulence was due to a lack of honesty between them in the beginning. The final verse suggests that they have overcome these challenges and now they find strength in each other. The lines “It's been awhile but now I'm holding on, And there are so many things you do to make me strong” show that they are committed to each other.
