Whitmore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't leave you alone
'Cause I know you like this
I'll follow you home walk right up to your door
Take a look inside
You, it's always you!
I see your face in different places
Then you're gone I think I'm wasted
You go on and on
You had it, you broke it
That's just so careless of you
Why don't you tell me why?
You want it, you've got it
Just tell me everything's alright.
The song "It's Alright" by William Elliot Whitmore portrays the struggles of a person who is trying to understand the complexities of relationships. The repeated phrase "It's alright to tell me everything you're thinking" highlights the singer's willingness to listen and comfort the person they're singing to. The following two lines "I won't leave you alone 'Cause I know you like this" suggest that the person is accustomed to being alone, and the singer wants to break this cycle of solitude. Furthermore, the line "I'll follow you home walk right up to your door" shows the singer's determination to be present in the person's life.
The word "wasted" in the second verse portrays the singer's confusion and frustration at being unable to keep up with the person they're singing to. The lyrics "You had it, you broke it That's just so careless of you Why don't you tell me why?" portrays the singer's disappointment and lenient attitude towards the person's past mistakes. The concluding lines, "You want it, you've got it Just tell me everything's alright" emphasize the singer's desire to offer support and the person's responsibility in taking the step towards recovery.
