[Verse 1]
So you got away
Something brought you back
To the kid that you were
For a couple days
Everything you lacked
You possessed
It was yours
[Pre-Chorus]
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
[Verse 2]
With your hollow eyes
You keep coming back
It begins to transform
Can you spend the night?
Can you be the raft
In the eye of the storm?
[Pre-Chorus]
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
The more we accelerate
[Chorus]
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it’s borrowed anyway
Was the risk I sent to you received?
All the words we say to be believed?
I’m already over the thrill of pursuit
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?
[Verse 3]
So you're beaten up
But you bounce back
It’s all part of the pull
And the story runs
Like a soundtrack
We repeat 'til we're full
[Pre-Chorus]
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
The more we accelerate
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it’s borrowed anyway
Was the risk I sent to you received?
All the words we say to be believed?
I’m already over the thrill of pursuit
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?
[Instrumental break]
[Outro]
So there's no way to hide
Find some daylight
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try
Find some daylight
Hollow eyes
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try
So you got away
Something brought you back
To the kid that you were
For a couple days
Everything you lacked
You possessed
It was yours
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
With your hollow eyes
You keep coming back
It begins to transform
Can you spend the night?
Can you be the raft
In the eye of the storm?
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
The more we accelerate
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it’s borrowed anyway
Was the risk I sent to you received?
All the words we say to be believed?
I’m already over the thrill of pursuit
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?
So you're beaten up
But you bounce back
It’s all part of the pull
And the story runs
Like a soundtrack
We repeat 'til we're full
Started slow
Started late
Started strong
Then we lost faith
Started slow
Started to lose control
The more we accelerate
The more we accelerate
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it’s borrowed anyway

All the words we say to be believed?

Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?
So there's no way to hide

And I'm inclined to try
Find some daylight
Hollow eyes
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
The song might be the idea of people maintaining unhealthy relationships because they are in search for confort, a point of reference, or a rescue. There is the idea that this kind of dynamic is inevitable, but also a desire to get out of this cycle.
Without getting too much in the details, there are different things that hit me in this song. A sens of movement in opposing directions, but in the same time of a vicious cycle. A lot of contradictions being lived simultaneously. Interactions that remind borderline-type behavior: rejecting the other, while clinging strongly and looking for reassurance. The many questions, which reminds the feeling of incertainty about every facet of the relationship. A feeling a powerlessness.
In the last verse, I find the line "There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden" interesting. It comes to the idea of leaving this confortable place. Why would someone do this? Because it also could mean getting access to a conscious and access to knowledge of what's good, bad and real. So, leaving this confortable (but harmful, as the song suggests) dynamic, would be what finally gives back power to the person.
@Ravenpuff Regarding the line "There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden", I think one of the keys to understanding it is to think about the normal way to leave the Garden of Eden: to be kicked out. The other way would have to mean leaving voluntarily, which seems to fit with the rest of your interpretation.

@Ravenpuff I've been looking for a way to express in words what I get emotionally out of this song. You've done it, along with the reply below. The song performed live is the most draining, in the worst/best way.
