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”
through a hole in the saddest soul
where nothing's better or worse
down a tube, swallowed like food
you sat around, broke it down
laugh and scream, you split a seam
shot through like blood into a dream
you woke up, no it's not true
you blink your eyes, go back inside
up and down a retired clown
got in his very small car and drove around
down a chute, you got the boot
and close your eyes, it's no surprise
where you goin', which way's the wind
who's that knockin' six in the mornin'
time is like a train
and our love is just the same
it's gonna go if we don't keep on runnin'
yes it's gonna go if we don't keep on runnin'
yes it's gonna go if we don't keep on
back and forth
the spoon and the fork
get up and go
he calls out your name, take the crown
spin around, dry your eyes
and put it down, laugh and scream
you split a seam
you leave it open for everyone to see
hello, hello i've gotta go
if you need to know
look out the window
where nothing's better or worse
down a tube, swallowed like food
you sat around, broke it down
laugh and scream, you split a seam
shot through like blood into a dream
you woke up, no it's not true
you blink your eyes, go back inside
up and down a retired clown
got in his very small car and drove around
down a chute, you got the boot
and close your eyes, it's no surprise
where you goin', which way's the wind
who's that knockin' six in the mornin'
time is like a train
and our love is just the same
it's gonna go if we don't keep on runnin'
yes it's gonna go if we don't keep on runnin'
yes it's gonna go if we don't keep on
back and forth
the spoon and the fork
get up and go
he calls out your name, take the crown
spin around, dry your eyes
and put it down, laugh and scream
you split a seam
you leave it open for everyone to see
hello, hello i've gotta go
if you need to know
look out the window
