Lyrics
Stand on my knees
Expressing vulnerability or submission, possibly in a state of supplication.
Whatever waves cannot move me
Confident in facing challenges, resilient against life's difficulties.
Draw for me a bird that cannot fly
Requesting a representation of a bird unable to fly, symbolizing a desire for constancy or attachment.
So it won't leave me
Wishing for a symbol that stays with the speaker and doesn't depart.
And before I know what happens
A realization that time has passed, with a potential sense of loss or reflection.
All the years that life has left us
Reflecting on the years gone by and the impact they've had on life.
You're the path I've tried to follow
Describing someone as a guide or influence in the speaker's journey.
All I breathe has come from you
Highlighting a deep connection, where everything the speaker breathes is derived from this person.
Say what I should feel
Expressing uncertainty about emotions and seeking guidance on what should be felt.
I never learned to be sincere with you
Admitting a difficulty in being truthful or genuine in the relationship.
The trees that grew with me
Referring to the enduring presence of trees, symbolizing stability and continuity.
Will be there still when I go looking
Belief that elements from one's past will persist when revisited.
And the tales I hid away
Acknowledging hidden stories or experiences that are not easily revealed.
They never go nor do they stay
Highlighting the paradox of stories, neither completely disappearing nor staying prominently.
And before I know what happens
Reiterating a sense of time passing and the need to comprehend one's existence.
Help me grasp what I've been given
Seeking understanding or clarity about the gifts or opportunities received in life.
Run away, you'll see that life goes by
Encouraging someone to experience life fully, emphasizing its fleeting nature.
Way too fast
Expressing the swift pace at which life unfolds.
And before I know what happens
Repeating the theme of time passing and its impact on the speaker's life.
All the years that life has left us
Recalling the years gone by and the influence of a guiding figure.
You're the path I've tried to follow
Reiterating the presence of someone as a guiding influence in the speaker's journey.
All I breathe has come from you
Affirming a profound connection where the very breath is sustained by the influence of the mentioned person.
