Lyrics
Do you want to fill the hollow up
Contemplating whether to fill an emotional void.
Or be a sinkhole in our home
Considering the impact of one's actions on the relationship ("home").
Is it time to swim on past the sharks
Questioning whether it's time to move forward despite challenges.
And pray they don't smell blood on the bone
Fearing potential consequences and hoping to avoid conflict.
She don't need to see us devolve
Expressing concern for someone witnessing a decline in the relationship.
She don't need to feel this break
Acknowledging a sense of emotional strain or fracture.
I'll be the bottom body in the brawl
Willing to endure difficulties for the sake of the other person's happiness.
Take her to her happy place
Seeking to create positive experiences for the person.
Tell her that I love her
Expressing love and a desire to communicate deep feelings.
More than she'll ever know
Emphasizing the depth of love beyond what can be fully understood.
May you be all you've envisioned
Wishing for the fulfillment of the other person's dreams.
May you feel fulfilled the day you die
Expressing a hope for a content and fulfilled life.
If we have a plan in place
Seeking clarity and understanding of future plans.
I would like to hear it now
Requesting information or guidance on a shared plan.
Because the floor of our little boat
Describing a situation where problems are becoming apparent.
Is filling up with water
Acknowledging a growing crisis in the relationship.
I don't want to fail you any longer
Expressing a desire to avoid further disappointment.
You can be the heart
Symbolic roles: the other person as the heart, emphasizing unity.
I'll be the lungs
Assigning roles within the relationship, highlighting interdependence.
Separate and wired together
Describing a connection that transcends physical distance.
As far apart as we are one
Reiterating the paradoxical unity despite emotional distance.
Now I feel it more than ever
Intensifying the realization of emotional separation.
As far apart as we are one
-Now I feel it more than ever
-Buildings still shun the city sun
Reflecting on the disconnect between urban and natural environments.
Sea air fell short of our lungs
-I know you heard the blood moon whistle
Noticing a celestial event and its potential impact on relationships.
But did you kiss with paralysis
Questioning the authenticity of emotional connections during significant moments.
Neither of you believes in heaven
Highlighting the absence of shared religious beliefs.
So who are we bullshitting
Questioning the honesty in the relationship.
I don't want to battle you my love
Expressing a desire to avoid conflict or competition.
You can be the heart
Repeating symbolic roles, emphasizing unity despite differences.
I'll be the lungs
-Separate and wired together
-As far apart as we are one
-Now I feel it more than ever
Reiterating emotional distance and the deepening of that realization.
You can be in the shadow
-Or be in the sun
-I'll give you all new oxygen
-We men heal all alone
-As fallen apart as we are one
-Now I feel it more than ever
-You can be the heart
Repeating symbolic roles, underscoring the emotional disconnection.
I'll be the lungs
-Now I feel it more than ever
