Lyrics
What if we lose our light and our colour dims to dark
Expressing concern about losing brightness and experiencing darkness if something goes wrong.
What if you change your mind, something shifts inside your heart
Contemplating the possibility of a change of heart, a shift in feelings within someone.
And my emotions ricochet
Describing the rebound or intense reflection of emotions.
Suddenly you don’t feel a thing
Noticing a sudden emotional numbness in the other person.
What if we can’t relate and our feelings start to numb
Considering the potential difficulty in relating and the numbing of emotions.
What if all that we have, it begins to come undone
Imagining the unraveling of what they have and the emotional consequences.
And my emotions ricochet
Reiterating the intense rebound of emotions leading to emotional numbness.
Suddenly you don’t feel a thing
Observing a lack of emotional response from the other person.
Give me some peace of mind
Expressing a desire for reassurance and peace of mind.
Tell me that I’m insane
Seeking confirmation about one's mental state, possibly due to uncertainty.
I’m aiming my love at you, I’m afraid I’m gonna miss the mark
Expressing fear of missing the mark in expressing love towards someone.
What if we fall apart, what if we fall apart?
Raising concerns about the possibility of the relationship falling apart.
I’m aiming my love at you and I know it’s gonna hit you hard
Believing that the expression of love will strongly impact the other person.
What if we fall apart? What if my emotions ricochet?
Questioning the potential emotional consequences of a relationship breakdown.
So I’m living a lie in the shadow of a doubt
Living dishonestly under the uncertainty and insecurity of the relationship.
And I push you away but I just can’t help myself
Acknowledging the struggle to resist pushing the person away despite inner conflict.
And my emotions ricochet
Highlighting the intense rebound of emotions, bouncing back into one's face.
They’re bouncing back into my face
Describing the emotional impact of the rebound.
When you’ve got something good, and you know you can’t let go
Acknowledging the value of something good while grappling with fear and loss of control.
But the fear overpowers and you start to lose control
Describing the overpowering fear that can lead to losing control in a good relationship.
Then my emotions ricochet
Reiterating the intense rebound of emotions and the reluctance to see the person leave.
Don’t wanna watch you walk away
Expressing a strong desire to avoid witnessing the departure of the person.
Give me some peace of mind
Seeking reassurance and peace of mind, repeating the need for confirmation.
Tell me that I’m insane
Asking again for confirmation about one's mental state, possibly due to doubts.
I’m aiming my love at you, I’m afraid I’m gonna miss the mark
Expressing fear of missing the mark in expressing love, a repetition of a previous theme.
