[Chorus]
Yeah, I remember you as a spring night on the south side of Boston
Every time I would step on the ledge, you were right there to stop me
And I’m missing you but I know that I’m right where I should be
And I made it now but I still wish that you could see
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I got your Irish eyes, and people say I’m looking like you all the time
So play this lullaby when you’re feeling down and we gon’ be alright
Yeah, I got your Irish eyes, and people say I’m looking like you all the time
So play this lullaby when you’re feeling down and we gon’-
[Verse 1]
How lucky was I just to have you in my life
Before I ever played a show, before I ever held a mic (Ever held a mic)
You always taught me what it meant to be an artist
And that’s why it’s when I’m writin’ this it’s hitting me the hardest
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m feeling so cold, I know you don’t want me to cry
And I try sometimes, but I still ask why
This photograph is the only thing getting me through
(That’s why I’m singing this for you)
[Chorus]
Yeah, I remember you as a spring night on the south side of Boston
Every time I would step on the ledge, you were right there to stop me
And I’m missing you but I know that I’m right where I should be
And I made it now but I still wish that you could see
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I got your Irish eyes, and people say I’m looking like you all the time
So play this lullaby when you’re feeling down and we gon’ be alright
Yeah, I got your Irish eyes, and people say I’m looking like you all the time
So play this lullaby when you’re feeling down and we gon’-
[Verse 2]
And I remember when I picked up the phone
My family told me everything, said I should probably come home (God damn)
I played the show in Salt Lake and flew to Logan
And it hit me all at once, it’s been a minute since we spoken
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m feeling so cold, I know you don’t want me to cry
And I try sometimes, but I still ask why
This photograph is the only thing getting me through
(That’s why I’m singing this for you)
[Chorus]
Yeah, I remember you as a spring night on the south side of Boston
Every time I would step on the ledge, you were right there to stop me
And I’m missing you but I know that I’m right where I should be
And I made it now but I still wish that you could see
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I got your Irish eyes, and people say I’m looking like you all the time
So play this lullaby when you’re feeling down and we gon’ be alright
Yeah, I got your Irish eyes, and people say I’m looking like you all the time
So play this lullaby when you’re feeling down and we gon’ be alright
Tłumaczenie piosenki
Analiza piosenki
Piosenka opowiada o głębokiej tęsknocie i miłości do bliskiej osoby, która odegrała kluczową rolę w życiu narratora, a której już nie ma przy nim. Narrator wraca wspomnieniami do chwil spędzonych razem, do wsparcia, które otrzymywał, i wartości, jakie ta osoba mu przekazała. Utwór jest pełen emocji, hołdem dla tej osoby i próbą pogodzenia się z jej stratą.
W refrenie narrator wspomina ukochaną osobę jako światło w ciemności, które zawsze było obok, by go powstrzymać przed upadkiem. Pomimo sukcesów, które osiągnął, odczuwa ból, że nie może dzielić tych chwil z tą osobą i zastanawia się, czy mogłaby być z niego dumna.
Post-chorus nawiązuje do fizycznego i emocjonalnego podobieństwa, jakie narrator dostrzega między sobą a tą osobą. Motyw „irlandzkich oczu” podkreśla ich więź, a kołysanka, którą oferuje, symbolizuje nadzieję i ukojenie w trudnych chwilach.
