Clouds Lyrics

It's not so far to go
But tonight I won't be coming home
I'll come here on my own
When our nights and days turned to months and years
And I forgot how to be alone
I forgot how to love

Oh, but don't cry my baby
Theres blue skies but for you
Even when the clouds roll in
I still want you near me

When I found my place
Here is this new room
Everything went quite clear
And I could feel again, and I missed you
The whole of me missed holding you

But I, I won't cry my baby
Theres blue skies but, for me
Even when the clouds roll in
I still want you near me

Oh I said I'm not in love
You made me count the ways
But I couldn't hope to be both cause and bone for pain
It breaks my heart to break your heart
I know that means I'm still in love

Oh, so don't cry my baby
theres blue skies but for you
Even when the clouds roll in
I still want you near me
I still want you near me
I still want you near me
Even when then clouds roll in
I still want you near me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Clouds lyrics by Submarines, The

My interpretation is that a girl decides to break things off with the guy she loves. She breaks up even though she doesn't truly want it over but there are things she cannot control and shes torn. She doesn't want him to be upset, she doesn't want him to cry because she still loves him. He wants her but she says things she doesn't mean, trying to protect him. But even though shes said and done otherwise she still wants him
