Poetry
Wrabel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I learned your number
Like it was my own
I still remember
That first September
Driving you home
And oh my, my, my
And looking for something
I finally found it right here
I see poetry in your eyes
You're the only reason we rhyme
And oh my, my, my
It's a big, big, big world out there
And looking for something
I finally found it right here
I know it's cliche
I guess I felt it
That not we met
Your old red jacket
You let me have it
So I don't forget
And oh my, my, my
It's a big, big, big world out there
And looking for something
I finally found it right here
I see poetry in your eyes
You're the only reason we rhyme
And oh my, my, my
It's a big, big, big world out there
And looking for something
I finally found it right here
Love makes no lighter sound
(You know the first time, first time)
The first time it comes around
(I see poetry, yeah)
Love makes no lighter sound
(Something 'bout the first time, first time)
The first time it comes around
I see poetry in your eyes
You're the only reason we rhyme
And oh my, my, my
It's a big, big, big world out there
And looking for something
I finally found it right here
I see poetry in your eyes
You're the only reason we rhyme
Oh my, my, my
It's a big, big, big world out there
I finally found it right here
The lyrics of Wrabel's song "Poetry" are about the thrill of discovering love and the comfort of finding a true connection. The first verse describes the memory of a summer where the singer learns the love interest's phone number as if it were their own. In September, they drive the love interest home, and it is implied that this moment was the beginning of something special. The chorus repeats a message about how big and daunting the world can seem, but the singer has finally found something (or someone) that makes it all worth it.
In verse two, the singer acknowledges that their story of discovering love might seem cliché, but they still feel the significance of the moment. The memory of the love interest's red jacket is a physical representation of the emotional memory, and the singer is grateful to have it. The second chorus repeats the message of finding comfort and meaning in the scary, overwhelming world because of the connection with the love interest. The bridge is a brief refrain about the weight and importance of a first love, both in the excitement and in the sense that it can never be replicated.
Overall, the lyrics of Wrabel's "Poetry" celebrate finding love in a world that can feel overwhelming and hopeless. The message is simple but effective: the connection with a person you love can make the world feel a little less scary and a lot more meaningful.
