Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
This man I love knows what I want
He loves me even when I don't
He's never in a hurry
He never makes me worry
This man I love knows what I want
This man I love knows how I feel
His hands are soft upon the wheel
He turns me on so easy
Does everything to please me
This man I love knows how I feel
And if I need to spend some time alone
This man I love don't treat me like I'm doing something wrong
This man I love knows how to live
Knows when to take and how to give
He lets me spend his money
He even thinks it's funny
This man I love knows how to live
When clouds get dark sometimes I lose my way
This man I love is there to lead me to the light of day
This man I love knows what I want
Knows when I do and if I don't
He has a way about him and I don't ever doubt him
This man I love knows what I want
He loves me even when I don't
This man I love knows what I want
He loves me even when I don't
He's never in a hurry
He never makes me worry
This man I love knows what I want
This man I love knows how I feel
His hands are soft upon the wheel
He turns me on so easy
Does everything to please me
This man I love knows how I feel
And if I need to spend some time alone
This man I love don't treat me like I'm doing something wrong
This man I love knows how to live
Knows when to take and how to give
He lets me spend his money
He even thinks it's funny
This man I love knows how to live
When clouds get dark sometimes I lose my way
This man I love is there to lead me to the light of day
This man I love knows what I want
Knows when I do and if I don't
He has a way about him and I don't ever doubt him
This man I love knows what I want
He loves me even when I don't
This man I love knows what I want
