blackbear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm still afraid of growin' up
And slowin' down too soon
When the fireworks go off balloons will
Fall the ball it drops this is New Years
I wanted to let you know
I thought of you, It's all for you
I changed the way, I thought of you
And seasons change, they fall for you
The runaround, exhausted you
The snow we watched, defrosts to rain
It's pourin' down, on top of you
The words we want, to take away
So we take back the shit that we
Say cause it got in the way
All the feelins that stay will escape
But repeatedly come back on days like today
To display this array on my day
On my face it is written
I can't stop and listen
I'm sittin' here wishin' that
I could dismiss it but the money and women
Don't help with decisions
There's no place like home but
I'm focused on livin' don't know my limit's
The sky is my feelin'
No fucks that I'm givin'
I might need a minute
Dear Lord I've been sinnin'
I'm holdin' my hands and
I pray for forgiveness i might need a minute
I think I drank too much
I'm still afraid of growin' up
And slowin' down too soon
Slowin' down too soon
When the fireworks go off balloons will
Fall the ball it drops this is New Years
I wanted to let you know
I thought of you, It's all for you
I changed the way, I thought of you
Revolving you, the sun, the moon
And seasons change, they fall for you

Yeah
Acknowledgement or agreement with the situation being described
You're in New York, I'm in L.A
We are geographically separated by a significant distance
I drive to work, you take the train
Our daily routine involves different transportation methods
My heart, it burns, yes it burns, yes it burns
I am feeling intense emotional pain
We're oceans away
Our distance is vast
I'll be asleep by the time you're awake
Our time difference prevents us from being awake at the same time
By the time you're awake (wake)
Emphasis on the time difference between us
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame
I am aware that I caused you pain
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
I am committed to making our relationship survive despite the challenges
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
I will always be willing to travel to be with you
From New York to L.A. (from New York to L.A.)
The specific locations we are currently in
You're in L.A., I'm in New York
We have switched places
I missed you today
I felt your absence strongly
So bad that it hurt
My longing for you was very intense
28 hundred miles away
The exact distance between us
So I'm callin' to say
I am reaching out to you despite the distance
'Til you stay, oh
I will continue to try to make you stay with me
You're in New York
Reiteration of your location
You feel the same
I hope you share my feelings
I'll be one plane ride away
My willingness to travel to be with you remains true

[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
You're in New York, I'm in LA
I drive to work, you take the train
My heart – it burns, yes it burns, yes it burns
We're oceans away
And I'll be asleep by the time you're awake
By the time you're awake
[Chorus]
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
From New York to LA (From New York to LA)
I'll be one plane ride away
From New York to LA, 'til you stay
'Til you stay, oh
[Verse 2]
You're in LA, I'm in New York
I missed you today
So bad that it hurt
My heart – it burns, yes it burns
2800 miles away
I'll be at work by the time you're awake
So I'm callin' to say
[Chorus]
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame (I'm to blame)
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
From New York to LA
I'll be one plane ride away
From New York to LA, 'til you stay
'Til you stay, 'til you stay, oh
[Bridge]
You're in New York
You feel the same
Do you feel the same?
Do you feel the same?
[Outro]
I know that you're hurt, I know I'm to blame
But I'll make it work, I'll make you stay
Until that day I'm one plane ride away
From New York to LA, I'll be one plane ride away
From New York to LA, 'til you stay

@jasminefurco996
If it's his own song, it's a remake not a cover.
