Lyrics
What makes me sad is I can't
Expressing sadness about a personal inability or limitation
What makes you sad I don't know
Uncertain about the source of your sadness
But if your eyes well up at the thought of it
Suggesting that tears indicate genuine emotion
Well that's a sure way to know
Using tears as a clear sign of emotional impact
But every moment I'm good
Acknowledging moments of personal well-being
Is one you take and
Recognizing the value of positive moments
Wring it out until it's gone
Describing the tendency to dwell on and deplete positive moments
We stared so hard at each other
Intense focus on each other leading to self-neglect
We lost all sight of ourselves
Losing individual identity in the intensity of the relationship
And now I'm feeling vacant from myself
Feeling a sense of emptiness or detachment from oneself
Give me your wild and taciturn eyes
Desiring the depth and complexity of the other person's gaze
So I can see the thick line you drew right over there
Wanting to understand the clear boundary set by the other person
To divide me from you
Expressing the perceived division between the speaker and the other person
Wring it out until it's gone
Reiterating the tendency to deplete positive moments
What makes me sad is I can't
Repetition of the initial expression of personal limitation and sadness
What makes you sad I don't know, no-no, no-no, no-no
Reiterating uncertainty about the source of the other person's sadness
But if your eyes well up at the thought of it
Reiterating the connection between tears and genuine emotion
Well that's a sure way to know
Reiterating tears as a clear sign of emotional impact
