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”
Well I never wanted
It to be this way with you.
So broken-hearted.
Look at all the things
We've been through.
Sometimes I,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.
Tragic,
To realize that you talk to much.
So tragic,
To realize that you're far too gone
To say you're wrong.
Sometimes I,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.
Tie the rope around me once more.
I might bend, but I won't break.
Take this timeout
To find yourself.
Take this timeout to learn.
It to be this way with you.
So broken-hearted.
Look at all the things
We've been through.
Sometimes I,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.
Tragic,
To realize that you talk to much.
So tragic,
To realize that you're far too gone
To say you're wrong.
Sometimes I,
Sometimes I can catch up with your words.
You're hard to follow,
So hard to follow.
Tie the rope around me once more.
I might bend, but I won't break.
Take this timeout
To find yourself.
Take this timeout to learn.
