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”
This town was built on miles of hope
And I dare you to give me one reason to stay
And I won't go away.
So far you've only dared me once
And I think we know that's not even close enough.
Not enough for me to stay.
It costs so much I know,
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right.
But I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting,
Just like I've always been.
I'm getting tired of standing around,
Just sitting here and waiting to be found.
Same old shit just different day.
I'll wait around for one more day
But I know that's what I will always say
Will this ever be OK?
It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right
Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been
It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right
Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you
I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you
And I dare you to give me one reason to stay
And I won't go away.
So far you've only dared me once
And I think we know that's not even close enough.
Not enough for me to stay.
It costs so much I know,
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right.
But I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting,
Just like I've always been.
I'm getting tired of standing around,
Just sitting here and waiting to be found.
Same old shit just different day.
I'll wait around for one more day
But I know that's what I will always say
Will this ever be OK?
It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right
Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been
It costs so much I know
But I guess I need to know
What it would have felt like to be right
Well I'm getting tired all over again
So hurry up and get here
Because I'm still waiting
Just like I've always been
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
Hey now, we'll be around for one more day
I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you
I will always worry about you
I will always stick up for you

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

This is a very good song
