By my side,
You'll never be.
By my side,
You'll never be.
Cos I'm fake at the seams,
I'm lost in my dreams.
I want you to know,
That I can't let you go.
And you're never coming home again,
And you're never coming home again.
By my side,
You'll never be.
By my side,
You'll never be.
I wanted to tell you I'd changed.
I wanted to tell you that things would be different this time.
But I see you, you see me,
Differently.
I see you, you see me,
Differently.
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again (repeat)

I'm not familiar with Unkle Bob, in fact it's the first time I've heard of him and his song. Anyway, it's a short song just 2 minutes and a half. Well, I think it's a nice song. So unusual from what I listen to most of the time.

Interpretation: This is probably for someone who the singer knows that will never be with him. At first he was blinded by all the fame he's getting or feeling undecided between his girl or his career. Maybe he was too busy with his career that he's not giving enough time for that someone and came a time when he was asked to decide and thought that he couldn't let go of both his career and girlfriend. "And you're never coming home again" - means like the girl's given up on him for being indecisive.

"But I see you, you see me,
Differently.
I see you, you see me,
Differently."

And later on, he decides to change. But too bad it was too late by then and the girl has a new guy now.

"You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again" Well at least she told him that he loved him, but can't anymore.
