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”
I'm just another body of water
I'm well fed, and I expect too much
out of this deal
running in circles
all the best is here
never there or around the bends
What if we do it wrong?
the devil's mean
nights of sleep and days of ever-blurry fear
surrounding our dreams about holding wind incessantly
oh and the rooted tree
it gives me shade without master key
oh
When we have money, yeah the sun shines on
but through a storm would we end up alone?
oh, and the people say things to scare you
but we can walk ahead
go somewhere to find the castles made of air
What if we do it wrong?
the devil's me
nights og sleep and daus of ever-blurry fear
surrounding our dreams about holding wind incessantly
oh and the rooted tree
it gives me shade without a master key
oh
I'm well fed, and I expect too much
out of this deal
running in circles
all the best is here
never there or around the bends
What if we do it wrong?
the devil's mean
nights of sleep and days of ever-blurry fear
surrounding our dreams about holding wind incessantly
oh and the rooted tree
it gives me shade without master key
oh
When we have money, yeah the sun shines on
but through a storm would we end up alone?
oh, and the people say things to scare you
but we can walk ahead
go somewhere to find the castles made of air
What if we do it wrong?
the devil's me
nights og sleep and daus of ever-blurry fear
surrounding our dreams about holding wind incessantly
oh and the rooted tree
it gives me shade without a master key
oh
