Lyrics
We grow apart
The relationship is experiencing distance and disconnection.
While we’re sleeping in the same bed
Despite sharing the same physical space, emotional separation is occurring.
With I love you’s we left unsaid
Expressing regret for unspoken "I love you's," indicating a lack of communication.
We grow apart
Reiteration of the growing apart theme in the relationship.
We grow apart
Reaffirmation of the emotional distance widening between partners.
Brought the water to a boil
Using boiling water metaphorically to describe intensifying conflicts or issues.
Suddenly we were in trouble
Unexpected troubles arise, possibly alluding to challenges in the relationship.
We grow apart
Repeating the theme of gradual emotional separation in the relationship.
You’ll write your own story
Acknowledging the individuality of each partner and their unique life stories.
I’ll read every word
Commitment to understanding and engaging with the partner's narrative.
For you I won’t worry
Expressing confidence and trust, assuring the partner not to worry.
As we cut the cord
Suggesting a separation or ending represented by "cutting the cord."
We grow apart
Reiteration of the relationship growing apart, emphasizing the distance.
All our friends say that we’re crazy
External perspectives deem the relationship as troubled or unconventional.
Don’t break up just have a baby
Societal pressure to have a child as a solution to relationship issues is mentioned.
But we grow apart
Confirmation of the ongoing emotional separation in the relationship.
We grow apart
Repeating the theme of growing apart to emphasize its significance.
As the cat sits in the window
Using the image of a cat waiting for the partners, symbolizing anticipation and longing.
Waiting for us to return home
Highlighting the absence of the partners and the homecoming that never occurs.
We grow apart
Final emphasis on the theme of growing apart, concluding the narrative.
