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”
Got a secret,
Hidden in the corner of your mind.
You want to free it,
But you found that you just can't decide.
Crumpled paper,
Holding pieces of our words at play.
You're unaware of me,
But I can't hear everything you try to say.
[Chorus]
It's too late for,
It's too late for me.
It's too late for, for me to go.
It's too late for, for me to go.
Broken wishes,
Falling from the fold in my hands.
Did you do this,
With the looks that I don't understand.
Empty kisses,
Tell me more than any words can say.
That you don't know me,
And you don't feel quite the same for me today.
[Chorus]
I still feel the same,
I still love it when you hold me down.
Under the covers,
I love to watch your lips as you tell me goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight.
[Chorus]
Hidden in the corner of your mind.
You want to free it,
But you found that you just can't decide.
Crumpled paper,
Holding pieces of our words at play.
You're unaware of me,
But I can't hear everything you try to say.
[Chorus]
It's too late for,
It's too late for me.
It's too late for, for me to go.
It's too late for, for me to go.
Broken wishes,
Falling from the fold in my hands.
Did you do this,
With the looks that I don't understand.
Empty kisses,
Tell me more than any words can say.
That you don't know me,
And you don't feel quite the same for me today.
[Chorus]
I still feel the same,
I still love it when you hold me down.
Under the covers,
I love to watch your lips as you tell me goodnight.
Goodnight, goodnight.
[Chorus]
