Walk It Off
Navigating Heartbreak: Walk It Off by Angus & Julia Stone
Lyrics
Walk it off now
Encouraging someone to move on and leave the situation behind.
You can tell them all how, how hard we tried to work it out
Reflecting on the effort put into resolving issues but acknowledging its failure.
Walk it off dear
Continuing the advice to walk away and not dwell on the past.
Standing here with your tail between your legs
Describing a person in a defeated posture, possibly after a conflict or breakup.
Here we stand
Setting the scene, emphasizing the emptiness or lack of resolution.
There's nothing left for you
Expressing that there is nothing left for the other person in the relationship.
There's nothing left for me
Reiterating the absence of anything meaningful for both individuals.
Here I am
The speaker identifies their presence in the situation.
There's nothing left for you
Stating there's nothing remaining for the other person.
There's nothing left for me
Affirming the absence of anything left for the speaker.
I will never be what you want to see now
Expressing a refusal to conform to the other person's expectations or desires.
I will never be what you want to see now
Repeating the rejection of being what the other person wants to see.
I never wanted you to go
Acknowledging a desire for the other person not to leave.
But I'd be the last to let you know
Admitting the reluctance to communicate this desire openly.
Walk it off now
Repeating the advice to move on, emphasizing the relief of being let down.
You can tell them all how, how good it feels to be let down
Encouraging the sharing of the experience of feeling let down.
Tell them all about
Suggesting the speaker's readiness to discuss the disappointment.
How long it was to get around to her side of town
Referring to the challenges of reaching the other person's perspective or location.
Here we stand
Reiterating the emptiness or lack of resolution in the current situation.
There's nothing left for you
Declaring the absence of anything left for the other person.
There's nothing left for me
Repeating the sentiment that there's nothing remaining for either party.
Here I am
Re-emphasizing the speaker's presence in the situation.
There's nothing left for you
Asserting the absence of anything left for the other person.
There's nothing left for me
Reiterating the emptiness or lack of resolution for both individuals.
I will never be what you want to see now
Affirming the speaker's refusal to conform to the other person's expectations.
I will never be what you want to see now
Repeating the rejection of being what the other person wants to see.
I never wanted you to go
Reiterating the desire for the other person not to leave.
But I'd be the last to let you know
Admitting the reluctance to communicate this desire openly.
Walk it off now
Encouraging moving on and sharing the experience of letting the other person down.
You can tell them all how I finally let you down
Acknowledging the speaker's role in letting the other person down.
Stand around here in this small town
Describing the environment of a small town and inviting the other person to express their feelings.
And tell me how it feels
Asking the other person to communicate how it feels to be in the current situation.
Tell me how it feels
Repeating the request for the other person to share their emotions about the situation.
