How It Was
Yoste Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you were very kind, very kind
My, my, you were close enough to touch
And that was very nice
It's on my mind
Feel the wind, darling
I think your love's sinking in
Feel the wind, darling
I think your love's sinking in
And I could swim now that I love somebody
Sometimes there is a weight upon my chest
And not a pleasent kind, pleasent kind
My, my, you were stronger than me then
And I was much obliged
How much longer now?
Tell me what you're thinking about
I'm still young and full of doubts
Smile before you take me down
Feel the wind, darling
I think your love's sinking in
And I could swim now that I love somebody
Feel the wind, darling
I think your love's sinking in
And I could swim now that I love somebody
Feel the wind, darling
I think your love's sinking in
And I could swim now that I love somebody
Feel the wind, darling
I think your love's sinking in
And I could swim now that I love somebody
Now that I love somebody
Now that I love somebody
The lyrics of Yoste's song, How It Was, paint a picture of a person who is introspective and sometimes gets lost in their own thoughts, but finds solace in the kindness of another person. The opening lines "Sometimes I get caught up in my head, but you were very kind, very kind" express a sense of being overwhelmed with their own thoughts and emotions, but finding comfort in someone who is compassionate and understanding.
The chorus of the song, "Feel the wind, darling, I think your love's sinking in, and I could swim now that I love somebody" is a declaration of love and the freedom it brings. The person feels free and able to swim, to move forward confidently in life because they have found love from the person they are addressing in the song. The line "Sometimes there is a weight upon my chest, and not a pleasant kind" seems to indicate a sense of anxiety or burden that the person is feeling. They express relief at finding someone who is strong enough to help them carry that weight and give them the support they need.
The overall message of the song seems to be one of gratitude for love, and the sense of freedom and comfort it brings. The lyrics acknowledge that life can be difficult, and it can be easy to get stuck in our own heads and emotions. But finding someone who is kind and supportive can make all the difference, and make it possible to move forward with confidence and strength.

Sometimes I get caught up in my head
Sometimes I overthink and worry too much
But you were very kind, very kind
But you were sweet and understanding
My, my, you were close enough to touch
You were so near that I could touch you
And that was very nice
And it felt really comforting
It's on my mind
I can't stop thinking about it
Sometimes there is a weight upon my chest
Sometimes I feel burdened and heavy-hearted
And not a pleasent kind, pleasent kind
And it's not a pleasant feeling
My, my, you were stronger than me then
You were my pillar of strength at that time
And I was much obliged
And I was grateful for your support
How much longer now?
How much time do we have left?
Tell me what you're thinking about
Share your thoughts with me
I'm still young and full of doubts
I'm still uncertain about a lot of things
Smile before you take me down
Make me feel better before you bring me down
Feel the wind, darling
Experience the breeze, my love
I think your love's sinking in
I feel your love is impacting me
And I could swim now that I love somebody
And I feel like I can overcome anything now that I'm in love
Now that I love somebody
Now that I have someone to love
