Cover art for Sensible Heart lyrics by City and Colour

this is actually the first song from city and colour i heard and i fell in love.

the first verse i interpret as that he sees the way people are or go about their lives or deal with situations or react to things. and dallas sees this and gets so caught up in how people wrongfully do things he doesnt see or realize he's maybe just as bad as they are. and the second part of the verse hes saying that he has a bad temper or hes somewhat of a time bomb at times but despite those flaws underneath it hes a sensible person and thats the person alot of people dont see.

the second verse i think hes saying that hes no king. basically saying hes not a person of great importance or with huge problems like a king might deal with. but despite not having to deal with those problems and just being a normal person he still weakens over small things and it really gets to him. the last part of the verse hes simply stating that he just hopes one day he can finally trust himself and whats inside him to finally let everyone see his true self.. his sensible heart i guess you can say.
