Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Ten years ago
I got a call that nearly killed me
Repeat yourself, my hands are shaking
When I was told my friend was gone
I felt so guilty
A thousand questions left unanswered
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
I'll serenade before I do
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
On and on, although you're gone
Candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you're listening
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go, ten years today!
Ten years ago
I stood beside the wood that held you
I must sit down, my legs are shaking
We let you go
With gifts of plectrums for your journey
And melodies to help you on your way
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
I'll serenade before I do
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
On and on, although you're gone
Candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you're listening
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go, ten years today!
I'll bleed if you want me to
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
I'll bleed if you want me to!
On and on, although you're gone
Candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you're listening (I know you're listening)
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go (ten years today!)
Where did you go (ten years today!)
Where did you go
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go, ten years today!
I got a call that nearly killed me
Repeat yourself, my hands are shaking
When I was told my friend was gone
I felt so guilty
A thousand questions left unanswered
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
I'll serenade before I do
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
On and on, although you're gone
Candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you're listening
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go, ten years today!
Ten years ago
I stood beside the wood that held you
I must sit down, my legs are shaking
We let you go
With gifts of plectrums for your journey
And melodies to help you on your way
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
I'll serenade before I do
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
On and on, although you're gone
Candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you're listening
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go, ten years today!
I'll bleed if you want me to
(I'll bleed if you want me to!)
I'll bleed if you want me to!
On and on, although you're gone
Candles burn without a flame on
Our final call to you, I know you're listening (I know you're listening)
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go (ten years today!)
Where did you go (ten years today!)
Where did you go
How could you leave us that way?
Where did you go, ten years today!
