Sam Hunt – I’m Down Lyrics
We can drag a little time
You can spend some of my money maybe waste a little wine
We could go to the beach
We could watch TV
We could write our names on …

Oh my mind
I walk down Mayflower Road again
the waning sun
echoes from the park seem so absurd
the bus takes hours
I knew it would but I cant shake the stand
can’t spend my time on everybody else1
If buildings fell
At least we’d be in matrimony2
I can’t control
The words kaleidoscope inside my head3
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?4
All these small things
They gather round me
gather round me5
Is it all so very bad
I can’t see6
Oh all these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
and I can’t see
Saw The Police
screaming something trivial like
‘keep the peace’7
the world moves on and you can’t shake the sound
I know she’s home8
leaning on somebody loving life
all in my mind the anvil and the weight on my back9
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?
All these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
Is it all so very bad
I can’t see
Oh all these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
And I can’t see
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me
All these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
Is it all so very bad
I can’t see
All these small things
They gather round me
Gather round me
And I can’t see my love
mmm
I can’t see my love
mmm10

‘I know she is home’ relates to how his love is waiting for him at home, but he cannot recognise himself anymore in the relationship so he calls himself this ‘somebody’ meaning he has lost himself and cannot connect with his girlfriend anymore. It’s a ‘weight on his back’ because he is consumed with guilt. He takes the bus ride to calm himself down and gather his thoughts, but he comes to the daunting realisation that be ‘can’t seem my love’. All these small things about her are gathering around him and he cannot stand her anymore. He is questioning whether he has gone mad because he can’t get past the small things that irritate/upset the shit out of him anymore about the relationship he is in. Basically, his relationship is falling apart because he is growing delusioned with his love. He calls out to the world, wondering if it’s just him that’s going mad and can’t he see how good she is? All in all, he can’t get passed the small things about his love anymore, his love towards his girlfriend is wavering. His whole faith in the world is collapsing before his very own eyes.
