Maybe it's just me, but you seem finally happy
I don't think I've seen your face just glow like a neon sign
And maybe we should be alone for ever after,
'Cause even though the nights are long...
At least I'll make it another day

'Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry
But I can live without you if it makes you smile

And maybe things got weird, after all that went down
Things were oh so clear that I could never get this right
So tell me what your plans are, and tell me what you're doing
The only thing I'll hold against me
Is a picture of you tonight

'Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise, and I can't wait for you to shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is...

Time for you to think things over
Time to talk the drama down
It's not a contest of who'll try harder
Or who'll cross the finish line

'Cause I can't live if you're not happy
I can't live if you cry
But I can live without you if it makes you smile
And I can't wait to see you rise, and I can't wait for you to shine
But I can wait for you if all you need is time

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”
