I've been keeping my mouth closed too long and opening my chest just a little bit too wide
So you can see my heart as it starts to beat down everything that I'm trying to keep inside
I'm about to explode and I want you to know its getting hard to hide

And I've been keeping you close even though that I know it may not feel that way tonight
And I'm sorry if you are just a little confused I only wanted to do what was right
But right now I miss how you always felt so right to me

Memories are always haunting me to sleep tonight I pray my soul to keep you by my side
So when you open your eyes you'll close in on mine

And I've been thinking it out and I've been thinking about the things you do to get to me
To tell you the truth I'd do them to you if I knew we worked equally
Reverse it and rehearse this so you'll never want to leave

Memories are always haunting me to sleep tonight I pray my soul to keep you by my side
So when you open your eyes you'll close in on mine

And when I see that look on your face- I know we'll be ok
And when I see that look in your eyes- I know we'll be alright
'Cause you and me got what we need tonight

I must admit I wanted this I needed it more than you did
I must confess I've tried my best but nothing makes me miss you less

Memories are always haunting me to sleep tonight I only want to keep you by my side
So when you open your eyes you'll close in on mine

And when I see that look on your face- I know we'll be ok
And when I see that look in your eyes- I know we'll be alright
'Cause you and me got what we need tonight

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”
