Crossroads
Embracing Change: Finding Light in Life's Crossroads
Lyrics
Time for a change, instead of waiting in vain and
Expressing a need for change rather than waiting without purpose
In the darkest of clouds, you helped me through the pain
Acknowledging support during difficult times symbolized by "darkest of clouds"
You helped me through the pain
Reiteration of the support provided through pain
All the times that I prayed or hoped you would say
Referencing prayers and hopes for a significant relationship commitment
I want you in my life to shine the brightest light
Desiring a prominent role in the other person's life, bringing brightness
To shine the brightest light
Repeating the desire to shine a positive light in the other person's life
I should have known the threat that I posed
Regretting not recognizing the potential harm posed to the relationship
When I opened myself up for the door to get closed
Realizing the consequence of vulnerability leading to emotional closure
For the door to get closed
Reiteration of the consequence of the emotional door closing
Standing at the crossroads, watching the passing train and
Metaphorically standing at a crucial decision point in life
The passing of time, slipping away, slipping away
Reflecting on the passage of time, its fleeting nature
I don't want to feel this way anymore
Expressing a desire to change current emotional state
I don't want to feel this way anymore
Repetition of the wish to escape the current emotional state
Time for a change
Reiterating the need for a significant change in life
Time for a change
Repetition emphasizing the urgency of change
Time for a change
Stressing the critical moment for transformation
