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”
Stayed awake all night, toss and turnin'
Now my bloodshot eyes are burnin'
Workin' out why this ain't workin'
Fight after fight after fight
And now it's killin' me.
You were too busy to believe in
All the runaway dreams I was dreamin'
Time to pack up and go, I'm leavin'
Fight after fight after fight
And now I gotta be.
On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
How'd you end up oh so jaded?
Cynical and so sedated.
Can't live in this world you created
Day after day after day
And now I gotta be.
On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
Yeah, you'll always be the lonely one
Yeah, you'll always try to swallow the sun
Just remember you can never make it rain on anyone
On my own and livin' in a world alone
Gets better every 'cause I don't have to say
And now you're killin me.
On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home.
Now my bloodshot eyes are burnin'
Workin' out why this ain't workin'
Fight after fight after fight
And now it's killin' me.
You were too busy to believe in
All the runaway dreams I was dreamin'
Time to pack up and go, I'm leavin'
Fight after fight after fight
And now I gotta be.
On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
How'd you end up oh so jaded?
Cynical and so sedated.
Can't live in this world you created
Day after day after day
And now I gotta be.
On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
Yeah, you'll always be the lonely one
Yeah, you'll always try to swallow the sun
Just remember you can never make it rain on anyone
On my own and livin' in a world alone
Gets better every 'cause I don't have to say
And now you're killin me.
On my own
And livin' in a world alone
Gets better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
I'm gonna make it on my own
I'll always take the harder road
Get's better everyday
That I don't have to say I'm sorry I'm coming home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home
(I'll make it on my own)
I'm sorry, I won't be comin' home.
