Lyrics
Yeah, I can't stand how lonely I've become
Expressing dissatisfaction with current loneliness.
Since I only wanted you
Desire for a specific person.
Yeah I only wanted you, oh
Reiteration of the desire for that person.
So maybe we could speak, if only for a minute
Hopeful suggestion for communication, even if brief.
I know everything we did will be remembered
Reflection on past actions and their lasting impact.
I know it's hard to be so distant, I'll admit it
Acknowledgment of the difficulty in maintaining closeness.
I know that everything we did will be forgiven
Belief in the potential forgiveness for past actions.
I watch the snow fall tonight, I watch the snow fall
Observation of falling snow, possibly symbolic of change.
With all of my dreams tonight, they're covered and cold
Description of dreams being covered and cold, implying difficulty.
But I won't lose sleep tonight, no, I know we're both
Confidence in not losing sleep over the situation.
Defending our weakest side, could we not be choosing sides
Reference to defending vulnerabilities and avoiding conflict.
And these days I can't stand how lonely I've become
Repetition of loneliness, intensified with time.
Since I only wanted you
Reiteration of the desire for a specific person.
Yeah I only wanted you, oh
Continued expression of the desire for that person.
Yeah, I can't stand how lonely I've become
Recurrence of dissatisfaction with loneliness.
Since I only wanted you
Reiteration of the desire for a specific person.
Yeah I only wanted you, oh
Continued expression of the desire for that person.
I watched you leave town tonight, I watched you leave town
Observation of someone leaving, possibly causing isolation.
Called all of my friends tonight, but no one was round
Attempt to seek support from friends without success.
But I won't lose sleep tonight, no, I know we're both
Confidence in not losing sleep over the situation.
Defending our weakest side, could we not be choosing sides
Reference to defending vulnerabilities and avoiding conflict.
So maybe we could speak, if only for a minute
Reiteration of the hopeful suggestion for communication.
I know everything we did will be remembered
Reflection on the lasting impact of past actions.
I know it's hard to be so distant, I'll admit it
Acknowledgment of the challenge in maintaining closeness.
I know that everything we did will be forgiven
Belief in the potential forgiveness for past actions.
So maybe we could speak, if only for a minute
Reiteration of the hopeful suggestion for communication.
I know everything we did will be remembered
Reflection on the lasting impact of past actions.
I know it's hard to be so distant, I'll admit it
Acknowledgment of the challenge in maintaining closeness.
I know that everything we did will be forgiven
Belief in the potential forgiveness for past actions.
Feels like I'm falling off the edge and I don't know where I'll be found
Sensation of falling and uncertainty about the future.
Feels like nothing quite compares to when I've got you around
Comparison of the unique feeling when the person is present.
And these days I can't stand how lonely I've become (Everything we did will be forgiven, everything we did will be forgiven)
Repetition of intensified loneliness, with a reference to forgiveness.
Since I only wanted you
Reiteration of the desire for a specific person.
Yeah I only wanted you, oh (Everything we did will be forgiven, everything we did will be forgiven)
Continued expression of the desire for that person with a reference to forgiveness.
Yeah, I can't stand how lonely I've become
Recurrence of dissatisfaction with loneliness.
Since I only wanted you
Reiteration of the desire for a specific person.
Yeah I only wanted you, oh
Continued expression of the desire for that person.
