Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here soon, here soon
Here soon, here soon

Loving alone is what you make it (make it, make it)
Stay for the storm if you can take it (take it, take it)
But pray for a raincoat
To where they're blind to, mistakes
I know you worry a lot
I'll be here for you
Do I care enough?
Do I feel for you?
I can guarantee

Come on, this one (ooh-oh)
Come on, this one (oh oh)
Come on, this one (ooh-oh)
Come on, this one (oh-ooh)

I didn't know you tried
'Cause you wanted more
And didn't know you cried
'Cause you wanted more
Things don't happen the way you hoped to
I'm just keepin' a little hope, baby
I didn't know you tried
'Cause you wanted more

Dying of daydreams in your bedroom (bedroom, bedroom)
Waiting so long, said you'd be here soon (here soon, here soon)
How could you forget that
I'm the one who
Forgot all your mistakes
And dirty drawers
You know I care for you
When hell over earth came
I stood for you
Will you stand for me?

Come on, this one (ooh-oh)
Come on, this one (oh oh)
Come on, this one (ooh-oh)
Come on, this one (oh-ooh)

I didn't know you tried
'Cause you wanted more
And didn't know you cried
'Cause you wanted more
Things don't happen the way you hoped to
I'm just keepin' a little hope, baby
I didn't know you tried
'Cause you wanted more





Ooh (here soon, here soon)

Overall Meaning

The song "Julia" by SZA is a tale of two lovers. The song starts with the line "Here soon, here soon", which represents the anticipation and yearning for the arrival of the other person. The lyrics then transition to describe the challenges that the couple faces in their relationship. The first verse suggests that being alone can be enjoyable, but it's difficult to withstand a storm if you are alone. The lyrics also suggest that mistakes are inevitable but, despite that, the singer cares for their partner and will be there for them. The chorus is a repeating phrase of "Come on, this one", which may represent a plea for the other person to stay committed to the relationship.


The second verse reveals that one of the lovers has been crying and wants more from the relationship. However, things haven't gone as planned. Despite this, the singer holds onto hope and the belief that things will work out. The bridge mentions "dying of daydreams in your bedroom," which could indicate pent-up frustration or unfulfilled desires. However, even with these difficulties, the singer still cares for their partner and stood by them during tough times. The song ends with the phrase "Here soon, here soon," which could indicate that the singer is still waiting for their partner to arrive and that they are hopeful that things will work out.
