Grits - Something About You Lyrics
Lyrics
(Britt Nicole)
From dusk to dawn, I just can't get enough of your love
Winter to fall, you got me falling
Morning to evneing, whether moonlight or sun shining, 365
You're my spring
From dusk to dawn
V1
I done been love, been in love, out and back again
Friends with benefits, love that's limited
Love that ain't love, it's lust unlimited
Very infatuated, overly saturated
Love so deep, I was literally captivated
Love that overrated, emotions she demonstrated
Penetrated hate with love, imitated hate in love
And it grew more complicated
Sun going down, breeze blowing cold
Degrees getting deeper, summer getting old
My spring thing soon became an annual queen
Cuz I seen things better, esteemed to things better
My team is deemed greater, in tune with my creator
Cuz love sings a song the world can heal from
See the light -- cuz the way that we raise em
Teach em nothing in this life besides Christ can save them
I see the storm in the midst, feel the breeze blowing leaves
Feel the cold through my jeans, catchup (catchup)
These things that we face sometimes
Replace these dreams that we make sometimes
(Britt Nicole)
From dusk to dawn, I just can't get enough of your love
Winter to fall, you got me falling
Morning to evening, whether moonlight or sun rising, 365
We all go through so many changes, dealing with a lot of different things
V2
A potent concoction, was the best option
The voice of choice often, the better the situation, by any means
Yall are so obvious, to oblivious, far from chivalrous
Me and the Divines find nature to deliver us
From dusk to dawn,_______, bleed for our sins
And, in turn, bless the sheep that eat from our hands
Thoughts of immortal man
Seeming like the blockates are too huge but when you touch 'em
Doors are really thin
I'm poisoned with a pin
Oh Lord, it's sorta clutched,
Opposing much
And Battling the demons that's within
Too many to name
A leading to sources
Pledging allegiance to Ephesians
Gone, to the mercy of corks
It hurts _______
Deviates focusing on the God who got us these gifts
So that the odyssey sits
Instead of blowing the minds of mankind
That's where we come in and perfectly fit
It's to the earth that we stick
The Blueprint was______
And be around until we______
Gravity settles in and happens to_____
Breaks_______ sticks
And like a circle with licks we're worn down
Fortresses have been torn down
That's whats up
Pardon, that's what going down
Cold rain has it snowing now
The Sun sets on the one getting the bigger picture
Knowing how to hold it down.

Grits-Something About You
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on September 23, 2008, as part of their album *Reiterate*, Grits’ "Something About You" immediately presents itself as a profound meditation on faith, the human condition, and the transformative power of divine love. This track, featuring the ethereal vocals of Britt Nicole, transcends typical musical expressions, offering a raw, honest narrative steeped in spiritual introspection and evangelistic fervor. Its strength lies not in a catchy melody, though it holds its own, but in the intricate layering of its message, challenging its audience to look beyond fleeting earthly desires toward an eternal perspective.
The song’s core meaning is anchored in Britt Nicole's recurring chorus, a testament to unwavering, ceaseless devotion. "From dusk to dawn, I just can't get enough of your love / Winter to fall, you got me falling / Morning to evening, whether moonlight or sun shining, 365 / You're my spring." This refrain paints a vivid picture of a consuming, year-round spiritual hunger and fulfillment. It mirrors the Psalmist's longing for God, as described in Psalm 63:1, "My soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water." The image of God as "spring" signifies renewal, life, and a constant source of refreshment, much like the living water Jesus spoke of in John 4:14, promising that those who drink will never thirst again. This consistent devotion provides a bedrock of hope and stability throughout the Grits' verses, illustrating a love that never ceases, just as God's mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).
Grits' first verse embarks on a candid journey through the disillusionment of worldly affections. The words paint a clear picture of relationships marked by superficiality, "love that's limited," and "lust unlimited," leading to a cycle of infatuation and ultimate complication. This resonates with 1 John 2:16, which cautions against the "lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life," things that are not from the Father but from the world. As the narrative progresses, a pivotal shift occurs, marked by the imagery of "summer getting old" and the "breeze blowing cold," symbolizing the fleeting nature of temporary pleasures. This transition leads to a profound realization: "I seen things better, esteemed to things better." The focus shifts from transient affections to an enduring commitment, as the speaker declares, "My team is deemed greater, in tune with my creator." This newfound alignment with God ushers in a powerful mission: "teach 'em nothing in this life besides Christ can save them." Here, the song echoes the exclusive truth of salvation found only in Jesus, as proclaimed in Acts 4:12, "there is no other name under heaven given among mankind by which we must be saved." Even amidst acknowledged "storm in the midst" and challenges that "replace these dreams that we make sometimes," the commitment to this divine purpose stands firm, echoing Christ's promise in John 16:33 that while we will face trouble in this world, we should take heart because He has overcome it.
The second verse delves deeper into the spiritual path chosen, describing it as "a potent concoction," "the best option," guided by "the voice of choice." This alludes to the wisdom and guidance found in following God’s way, contrasting it with those who remain "oblivious" to spiritual truths. The profound sacrifice of Christ is subtly yet powerfully acknowledged through the reference to One who "bleed for our sins," leading to the calling to "bless the sheep that eat from our hands," a clear echo of Jesus’s instructions to feed His sheep (John 21:17) and minister to "the least of these" (Matthew 25:40). The struggle against internal adversaries, "Battling the demons that's within," speaks to the ongoing spiritual warfare every believer faces, as outlined in Ephesians 6:12, where we are reminded that our struggle is not against flesh and blood. The commitment is further solidified by "Pledging allegiance to Ephesians," a direct reference to the New Testament book rich with teachings on walking in unity, spiritual armor, and the believer's identity in Christ. The song emphasizes that our role is not to "blow the minds of mankind" with human brilliance, but to perfectly fit into God's grand design, "to the earth that we stick." This highlights the importance of humility and faithful stewardship of the gifts God has given us (Ephesians 2:10). The concluding lines about "fortresses have been torn down" and "cold rain has it snowing now" suggest the impermanence of worldly structures and the inevitability of decay, yet the final image of "The Sun sets on the one getting the bigger picture / Knowing how to hold it down" provides a powerful reminder of wisdom, resilience, and the peace found in understanding God’s overarching plan, even as the world around us shifts and changes. This enduring perspective, rooted in the eternal rather than the temporal, is precisely what Grits so passionately articulates throughout "Something About You," making it a deeply encouraging and spiritually enriching piece of art.
