Adeline Lyrics – Joshua Slone

Adeline Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer feels lonely and empty after Adeline leaves town, even though it’s only been a night. He remembers how they planned to leave earlier but stayed longer, showing how hard it was to say goodbye. Now they’re apart—she’s driving away, and he’s stuck in his hometown that feels meaningless without her. Every corner reminds him of her, and the distance makes him miss her painfully.

[Chorus]
He’s asking Adeline to call when she gets home because being alone makes him anxious. He waits by the phone, wanting to talk to her and make plans, even though their schedules never line up. He misses the simple moments they shared, like kissing and wasting time together. Until they can be together again, he feels lost and homesick for her presence.

[Verse 2]
Adeline calls him while she’s an hour away, and he’s so emotional that he drives recklessly. Still, he refuses to completely lose control because he knows she’s waiting on the other side, giving him a reason to stay safe.

[Chorus]
He once again begs her to call when she gets home because he struggles when left alone. He sits by the phone, hoping for her voice to make things better. He dreams of spending time together again, even if it’s just wasting time side by side. For now, he’s counting the moments until they’re reunited, feeling homesick and restless without her.

[Bridge]
He feels physically sick while driving and seeing signs that remind him of her absence. But the moment he hears her voice, all his worries fade, and he feels calm and comforted again.

[Chorus]
He keeps repeating his wish for her to call when she gets home, showing how much he depends on that connection. Waiting by the phone becomes a symbol of his love and longing. Even though they can’t plan when to see each other next, he craves their closeness. The phrase about being homesick for Adeline captures how she feels like home to him, and being apart hurts deeply.
