Stumbling Lyrics
Say your last goodbye
And she stops and she waits because she needs you
And your failing eyes to get her through the night
You still remember the way she looked at you
And smiled right through a lie
She was turning to say goodbye
And I feel so far away
As I stumble over you
I got so far away
But this is the chance we waited for
And I feel so far away
As I stumble over you
Stumble over
Another thousand miles
And you stop and you wait because you need her
Her failing eyes to get you through the night
Will she remember every word you said
Your words will make it right
As you were turning to say goodbye
And I feel so far away
As I stumble over you
I got so far away
But this is the chance we waited for
And I feel so far away
As I stumble over you
Stumble over
This is the chance we waited for
This is the chance we waited for
Settle down and locked doors and turn out all the lights
You close your eyes and you fall asleep
You close the door and she hears you
And I feel so far away
She's moving the floor boards beneath you
As I stumble over you
And your cross the floor because she needs you
And she's moving the floor boards beneath you constantly
But your not close enough to her
And she stops and she waits because she needs you
And your failing eyes to get her through the night
You still remember the way she looked at you
And smiled right through a lie
She was turning to say goodbye
As I stumble over you
I got so far away
But this is the chance we waited for
And I feel so far away
As I stumble over you
Stumble over
And you stop and you wait because you need her
Her failing eyes to get you through the night
Will she remember every word you said
Your words will make it right
As you were turning to say goodbye
As I stumble over you
I got so far away
But this is the chance we waited for
And I feel so far away
As I stumble over you
Stumble over
This is the chance we waited for
Settle down and locked doors and turn out all the lights
You close your eyes and you fall asleep
And I feel so far away
She's moving the floor boards beneath you
As I stumble over you
And your cross the floor because she needs you
And she's moving the floor boards beneath you constantly
But your not close enough to her

To me this song is so meaningful and can relate to so many relationships. It basically tells a story of 2 people who at one point were truly in love. Yet, as time passes by, the distance in their love and life seems too big now. They both try and attempt to escape one another, but every time one of them tries to leave, they end up "stumbling" over each other. As soon they get farther away from each other something always makes them fall and stumble, and they end up not leaving and being chained to the relationship. It seems fate has chosen them to be together but neither of them want to be with each other anymore. At the end of the song, they stop running from one another and learn to deal with the fact that they are forever bind to one another... whether they like it or not. They live together, but it seems as if they are living 2 separate lives under one home. Forever, the mask of their relationship is on full view now...
