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”
You're dead to me
Still can't believe that's what you said to me
Now girl we're ancient history
The story book ended the moment you walked on me
So I left it all in the past
I thought you'd be forever but you happened so fast (so damn fast)
If life is like the weather then the weather
Forecast is calling for better than your skank-y-ass (hmph)
You call me when you're drunk and
Say you're going insane without me
Oh my, how the times have changed
I let go (he let go)I let go (he let go) because
The devil in you is not the devil I know
We're in the fall out, the sum of your lies
But now I'm calling you out yeah so don't even try
I let go (he let go) I let go (he let go) because
The devil in you is not the devil I know
I let go, go, go
You swear you told the truth
But I know it's not the truth because it's coming from you
And honestly your honesty has never been true
So go and raise your finger and you say 'fuck you' fuck me' 'fuck you'
Yeah I let you go
You're not my Juliet, I'm not your Romeo
But you still got stars crossing over you though
For lack of better terms you always act a ho (that's right)
You call me when you're drunk and say
You're going insane without me
Oh my, how the times have changed
I let go (he let go)I let go (he let go) because
The devil in you is not the devil I know
We're in the fall out, the sum of your lies
But now I'm calling you out yeah so don't even try
I let go (he let go) I let go (he let go) because
The devil in you is not the devil I know
No, no I won't give in
I know exactly where them hands have been
Beg me to stay then away she go
Like the wind she blows
She's a ho
You call me when you're drunk and
Say you're going insane without me
Oh my, how the times have changed
I let go (he let go)I let go (he let go)
Because the devil in you is not the devil I know
We're in the fall out, the sum of your lies
I'm calling you out yeah so don't you dare try
(He let go) I let go because the devil in you is not the devil I know
I let go, go, go
Still can't believe that's what you said to me
Now girl we're ancient history
The story book ended the moment you walked on me
So I left it all in the past
I thought you'd be forever but you happened so fast (so damn fast)
If life is like the weather then the weather
Forecast is calling for better than your skank-y-ass (hmph)
You call me when you're drunk and
