Nina Lyrics

I met you when I was a teen
But then you were one as well
And I could play the guitar just like ringing a bell
Sometimes I wonder, in any other summer
Could you have been my part time lover
To me listening to Stevie Wonder
Under the covers where we used to lay
And 'Re: Stacks' is what the speakers played
I'd be on tour almost every day
When I was home up in my flat is where we used to stay
Just watching the DVD, smoking illegal weed
Getting high as two kites when we needed to breathe
We used each other's air just for the people to see
And stay up all night like when we needed to sleep
We go anywhere, our minds would take us
And I'll say you are beautiful without your make-up
And you don't even need to worry about your weight 'cause
We can all be loved the way that God made us
And time's the only reason that we could break up
'Cause you would always tell me I'm away too much
Distance is relative to the time that it takes
To get on a plane or make a mistake, so say it again

Oh, Nina
You should go, Nina
'Cause I ain't never coming home, Nina
Oh, won't you leave me now?
And I've been living on the road, Nina
But then again you should know, Nina
'Cause that's you and me both, Nina
Oh, won't you leave me now?
Now?

And every weekend in the winter, you'd be wearing my hoodie
With drawstrings pulled tight to keep your face from the cold
Taking day trips to the local where we'd eat on our own
'Cause every day when I was away we'd only speak on the phone
Watching Blue Planet, creating new habits
Acting as if we were two rabbits and then you'd vanish
Back to the burrow with all the Celtics
I disappear, you call me selfish
I understand but I can't help it
I put my job over everything except my family and friends
But you'll be in between forever so I guess we'll have to take a step back
Overlook the situation
'Cause mixing business and feelings will only lead to complications
And I'm not saying we should be taking a break
Just re-evaluate quick before we make a mistake and it's too late
So we can either deal with the pain or wait to get on a plane
But in a day we'll have to say it again

Oh, Nina
You should go, Nina
'Cause I ain't never coming home, Nina
Oh, won't you leave me now?
And I've been living on the road, Nina
But then again you should know, Nina
'Cause that's you and me both, Nina
Oh, won't you leave me now?
Now?

Love will come and love will go
But you can make it on your own
Sing that song, go, oh won't you leave me now?
People grow, and fall apart
But you can mend your broken heart
Take it back, oh won't you leave me now?

Oh, Nina (love will come and love will go)
You should go Nina (but you can make it on your own)
'Cause I ain't never coming home (sing that song, go)
In a road, won't you leave me now (now)
And I've been living on the road Nina (people grow, and fall apart)
And then again you should know Nina (but you can mend your broken heart)
'Cause that's you and me both in a road, won't you leave me now (take it back)
Now

Oh, Nina (love will come and love will go)
You should go Nina (but you can make it on your own)
'Cause I ain't never coming home (sing that song, go)
In a road, won't you leave me now
And I've been living on the road Nina (I've been living on the road Nina) (people grow, and fall apart)
And then again you should know Nina (then again you should know) (but you can mend your broken heart)
'Cause that's you and me both (that's you and me both)
Oh, won't you leave me now?
Now

What is the Meaning of Nina?

In this poignant ballad, the artist delves into the complexities of a relationship strained by his demanding career and constant travel. The song is a heartfelt dialogue with 'Nina', where he acknowledges their mutual affection but admits to prioritizing his job over their relationship. He urges her to move on, recognizing that his perpetual absence is unfair to her. Yet, there's an undertone of shared responsibility - they're both 'on the road', suggesting that she too has ambitions pulling her away. The recurring theme of love's ephemerality 🍂 suggests acceptance that their paths may diverge. However, the hopeful note about mending broken hearts 💔 hints at potential reconciliation or at least emotional healing in time. This song serves as a reflection on love, ambition, and the sacrifices one makes for both. #Love #Ambition #Sacrifice #Ephemerality
