Lyrics
I'm so afraid of saying something wrong
I have a fear of saying something incorrect or inappropriate.
There's a real danger of saying nothing at all
There's a significant risk in remaining silent and not expressing myself.
That I'll go back to the rabbit and drink
I might resort to drinking heavily and avoid speaking my mind.
Get half cut, fired up, not say what I think
Under the influence, I might become bold but fail to articulate my true thoughts.
That you're funny, interesting too
You possess qualities like humor and interest.
That the air warms up when you walk in the room
The atmosphere brightens when you enter the room.
That I still dream about the night we met
I still have vivid dreams about the night we first met.
How I don't mean it now as I meant it then, when I said
I don't express my feelings now as sincerely as I did back then.
What could be as lonely as love?
Love is portrayed as a lonely and isolating experience.
What could ever hurt this much?
The pain of love is described as intense and overwhelming.
What if you're the only one?
The fear of being alone is raised, suggesting the importance of the other person.
So let me in let me in
A plea to be allowed into someone's life and heart.
From out of the cold
A desire for warmth and acceptance, contrasted with the cold.
I'm okay, doing fine - the greatest lie ever told
An admission of being okay outwardly, masking inner struggles.
Even I don't recognise reflections of mine
A lack of self-recognition in one's own reflections.
When I'm the next call down the emergency line, they'll say
Anticipation of being the next emergency call, indicating personal crisis.
What could be as lonely as love?
Reiteration of the loneliness associated with love.
What could ever hurt this much?
Emphasis on the profound pain that love can bring.
What if you're the only one?
Raising the possibility of being the sole recipient of love's challenges.
What could be as lonely as love?
Repetition of the theme: love is portrayed as an isolating experience.
It's a cruel tide
A metaphorical reference to the harsh and relentless nature of love.
A violet ocean
Describing love as a turbulent and unpredictable ocean.
