Lyrics
Open your front door
Encouragement to open oneself to the world
But you’re not sure
Uncertainty or hesitation about taking that step
Stay in alone
Prefer to stay alone or avoid social engagement
You think of your pretty girl
Reflecting on a lost relationship with a beautiful person
That fell out your pretty world
Acknowledging the disruption of a once-beautiful world
Some days are long
Recognition of the length of certain days
But in the night it can get easier
Optimism that nighttime can make things easier
To pull the curtain down a certain window
Desire to shut out certain aspects of reality
Silly way I’m feeling
Describing an inexplicable, perhaps silly, emotion
Living in this big cloud all the time
Living consistently in a state of mental cloudiness
There’s a deepened sadness
Noting a persistent, deep sadness
It comes and goes but mostly stays
Recognition that sadness lingers but has some fluctuations
Living in this big cloud day to day
Reiterating the experience of living in a constant mental fog
Living in this big cloud all the time
Consistently residing in a mental haze
It’s better in my mind
The mental state seems preferable in the singer's mind
Sit in the front lawn
Suggesting an action to confront one's situation
It’s how you get on
Implying that facing challenges is the way forward
Sunshine is gone
Noting the absence of sunshine or positivity
You pick up the telephone
Using the telephone as a connection when alone
Each time you get alone
Repetition of seeking connection when feeling lonely
The world will pass you by
Awareness that time passes while isolating oneself
But in the night it can get easier
Hope that nighttime makes coping easier
To sleep away the misbehaving little achey way I’m feeling
Expressing a desire to sleep away troubles or discomfort
(Would ya could ya kinda feeling)
Adding a playful, whimsical element to the feeling
Living in this big cloud all the time
Reiteration of consistently living in a mental fog
There’s a deepened sadness
Emphasizing the depth of the ongoing sadness
It comes and goes but mostly stays
Noting the fluctuating nature of the persistent sadness
Living in this big cloud day to day
Continued experience of navigating life in a mental haze
Living in this big cloud all the time
Reiterating a consistent state of mental cloudiness
It’s better in my mind
Suggesting that the preferable state is within the mind
Living in this big cloud all the time
Repeating the theme of constant mental cloudiness
It’s better in my mind
Reiterating the preference for the mental state
