‘'What Got In The Way’‘ is about trying to figure out what went wrong in a previous relationship. More specifically, wondering what was going through the other person’s mind, and what was responsible for getting in the way of a potentially satisfying romantic relationship. It could also be referring...
[Verse 1]
Julia, I tried
Tried to make it right
Julia, I'm leaving tomorrow
Lay with me tonight
Like I remember...
[Chorus]
Yesterday
September rain was keeping me awake
While you were asleep
I wondered what was in your dreams
And what got in the way
[Verse 2]
Julia, I tried
Tried to keep you warm
Watched you fall into a depression
That we’ve seen before
I don’t remember...
Ah ahh ahaaahaaaaa
Ah ahh ahaaahaaaaa
Ah ahh ahaaahaaaaa
Ah ahh ahaaahaaaaa ahahaaa
[Chorus]
Yesterday
September rain was keeping me awake
While you were asleep
I wondered what was in your dreams
And what got in the way
[Outro]
I knew that this was wrong
But I had to see it for myself
There’s always new ideas
They’re not always the right ones
I don’t know what’s good enough
But I know I need to change my mind
Maybe all you needed was
A little more of my attention
