Shut Me Out
Embracing Change: A Journey of Redemption and Moving On
Lyrics
If I could start all over with you again
If given the chance to start anew with the person
I'd change the way the story ends
Expressing a desire to change the outcome of their shared story
I'd try my best to help you along
Committing to support and assist the person
If ever there's anything wrong
Willingness to address any issues or problems
But I know you gotta be moving on
Acknowledging the inevitability of the person moving on
Baby it's gonna be fine if you have to go
Reassuring the person that things will be okay if they choose to leave
And I always wish you well you know
Expressing good wishes for the person's future
It's time for you to everything
Indicating that it's time for the person to pursue their desires
You always wanted to do
Encouraging the person to fulfill their aspirations
So, I'll see you when you make it through
Anticipating a future reunion once the person overcomes challenges
I couldn't do anything right
Expressing a feeling of incompetence or failure
I couldn't do anything right
Reiterating a sense of inadequacy or mistakes
I was so far away and you shut me outside
Describing emotional distance and exclusion
Shut me outside
Emphasizing being shut out emotionally
Shut me outside
Repetition of the theme of being excluded
God I wish I was sleeping with you tonight
Expressing a longing to be close to the person
We could listen to the rain outside
Imagining a shared intimate moment during a rainy night
I'd tell you a story, sing you a song, promise you nothing is wrong
Promising comfort through storytelling and music
But I know you gotta be moving on
Acknowledging the person's need to move on
I couldn't do anything right
Reiteration of personal shortcomings or mistakes
I couldn't do anything right
Highlighting a sense of personal failure or inadequacy
I was so far away and you shut me outside
Reemphasizing emotional distance and exclusion
It's time for you to everything
Encouraging the person to pursue their desires and dreams
You always wanted to do
Reiteration of support for the person's aspirations
So, I'll see you when you make it through
Anticipating a future reunion after the person achieves their goals
