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”
How hard will I fall down?
Will everything fall in line for me?
There's only so much I can take
Until I just fall down.
The numbness wears on me.
And when you think for a second
Things are going well,
You start to feel the scratch, the burn, and the cold.
Push your feelings aside and walk the back road home.
Can I play with the second string dummy?
Here are the scissors
Cut the strings.
I thought that's what went wrong.
Thanks for knocking me out of the tree.
It's not my fault that this isn't home,
Too many people involved.
Thought that what I felt was right.
I guess I learned my lesson last night.
Involved then dissolved,
Wash and rinse away.
I was wrong for playing pretend.
Push your feelings aside and walk the back road home.
Can I play with the second string dumbie?
Here are the scissors
Cut the strings.
I was killed
I'll show them
If you're curious, It won't happen again.
Will everything fall in line for me?
There's only so much I can take
Until I just fall down.
The numbness wears on me.
And when you think for a second
Things are going well,
You start to feel the scratch, the burn, and the cold.
Push your feelings aside and walk the back road home.
Can I play with the second string dummy?
Here are the scissors
Cut the strings.
I thought that's what went wrong.
Thanks for knocking me out of the tree.
It's not my fault that this isn't home,
Too many people involved.
Thought that what I felt was right.
I guess I learned my lesson last night.
Involved then dissolved,
Wash and rinse away.
I was wrong for playing pretend.
Push your feelings aside and walk the back road home.
Can I play with the second string dumbie?
Here are the scissors
Cut the strings.
I was killed
I'll show them
If you're curious, It won't happen again.
