“It Won’t Be Like This” mainly discuses the hardships of relationships and the pessimism that’s a result of heartbreak.
The lyrics bare similarities to “When You Know” from All Distortions Are Intentional, trying to find peace within yourself and embracing the relationships you make.
[Intro]
You know it won’t be like this
It won’t be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in, yeah
[Verse 1]
I’m trying to have some faith
And keep it all together
But I’m not sure
If I can say I’m feeling any better
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don’t be so pessimistic
You’re gonna miss it all
Baby, I hope that you calm down
And you cheer up
[Chorus]
You know it won’t be like this
It won’t be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in
You know it won’t be like this
It can’t be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in, yeah
[Verse 2]
Maybe someday I might feel thе way I felt before
On a Monday I am thе rain
And you are the petrichor
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, don’t be so solipsistic
You’re not the only one
Baby, I hope what once was is not lost
[Chorus]
You know it won’t be like this
It won’t be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in
You know it won’t be like this
It can’t be like this forever
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in, yeah
From sinking in, yeah
[Outro]
See, I could try to explain it
But it’s just too complicated
Sometimes I think it’s a curse
It’s the worst
God, I hate it
It’s a long shot baby
But I think we’re gonna make it
We’ll be there some day
And I swear that it won’t be like this
No, it won't be like this
No, it won't be like this
No, it won't be like this
Only your kiss could stop the loneliness from sinking in
