Whitney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And sometimes people change
I've been sick since you left town
We've gotta find a way to feel the same
I know it's hard to give up when you don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
I want you to know I think you're right
Though there's so much I've been going through
I'm still the boy you left for nights
And I don't wanna know what I should do
I know it's hard to give up when you don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Don't you go and leave me here my friend
Whoo
I know it's hard to give up when you don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Oh I know I wish you were my friend
The lyrics of Whitney's song "Dave" seem to be about regret and longing for a lost love. The singer acknowledges that the person they are singing about may not be able to help them anymore and acknowledges that people change over time. However, they reveal that they have been feeling sick since the person has left town and wishes that they can find a way to feel the same.
It seems like the singer is trying to reconnect with this person, possibly after a falling out or a breakup. They admit that they know how to keep the person "hung up" on them but don't want to do that again. It's clear that they wish they were friends again, but it's not clear if they want to rekindle a romantic relationship.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of vulnerability and hopelessness that we may all feel when looking back on a past relationship. The lyrics are paired with a slow, melancholic melody that adds to the overall emotional tone of the song.
