Sherry
We the Commas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't think you ever notice
But I kinda like you
And I want you but I'm stuck in a new flame too
I don't know how, trying to get out

Sherry how have you been
I'm very happy I met you
You carry me in another world

Wait for me wait for me yes
Pray for me I try my best
I can't sleep when you leave
So don't please
Cuz I need me some rest
I'll wake up in my room where I'm lyin
Tell me what can I do when you're cryin

Say you don't wanna talk to me right now
But would you hear me when I say

Sherry how have you been
I'm very happy I met you
You carry me in another world

You can't sleepin in my bed
If you're just a friend
I'd love if we were more than friends
But don't make me beg

Sherry how have you been

I'm very happy I met you
You carry me in another world

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of We the Comma's "Sherry" speak of unrequited love. The singer seems to have feelings for someone, but they are involved in a new flame, making it difficult for the singer to act on their feelings. For the singer, this is a lamentable situation, but they express their emotions through the song. The languid guitar riffs and the dreamy melody create an apt atmosphere of nostalgia and longing.

Then come the lyrics asking "Sherry how have you been?" But, this is not a typical conversation starter. The singer is thanking Sherry for carrying him into another world. It seems that the singer sees Sherry as a comfort zone or a refuge when the singer needs to escape the world. The singer requests Sherry to Wait for him, Pray for him, as he tries his best and needs rest. The singer wants her to understand he'll wake up in his room, but what can he do when she's crying. He admits that Sherry carries him somewhere else, somewhere that he can escape.

The chorus sees the singer confessing his love for Sherry, asking if she can sleep in his bed if they're just friends, if they can be more than friends, but not to make him beg. The song mixes hope, longing, and apprehension in a masterly way that makes the listener empathetic to the singer's position.

Express that you do not wish to converse with me presently

But would you hear me when I say
However, would you give me attention while I speak

You can't sleepin in my bed
You are not allowed to sleep in my bed

If you're just a friend
If you are only a pal

I'd love if we were more than friends
I would like to be more than just friends

But don't make me beg
Nevertheless, do not force me to plead
