Lyrics
Something hardened you
There's been a toughening or a hardening of your emotions or character.
Hit a nerve and went right through
Something deeply affected you, piercing through your emotions or thoughts.
And you can't believe you're still here standing
You're surprised that despite what you've experienced, you're still standing strong.
Because I was bitching at my friend
Reflecting on a moment where the singer was complaining to a friend.
Come on man where have you been
Asking a friend where they've been after the singer's distress.
Then he told me about the wave
Learning about an unexpected and powerful event or emotion.
That just came out of nowhere
Describing a sudden, unexpected occurrence.
And I can't even speak
Feeling so overwhelmed that words fail.
It's that rapacious sympathy
Describing an intense and insatiable feeling of compassion.
Cause I just want to wrap my arms around you for good
Expressing a desire to comfort and protect someone indefinitely.
And say nothing is going to get you now
Assuring someone of safety and support.
I've got you shamelessly
Expressing a strong and unashamed commitment to caring for someone.
And that's all I ever want to say to you
Stating the singer's primary desire is to reassure and comfort.
Just to try to take a little fear away
Wanting to alleviate some of the fear someone is experiencing.
Here's to the year we cried
Toasting to a year marked by tears and emotional struggles.
Shocked speechless but still alive
Feeling speechless due to shock but acknowledging being alive.
Waging war with whoever's in the bathroom mirror
Engaging in a personal battle with oneself while facing the mirror.
Cause it's just me vs me
Recognizing an internal struggle, a self-conflict.
And my fear of loss and brevity
Acknowledging fear of losing something and the brevity of life.
And my childish jealousy
Admitting to feeling envious of a past version of oneself.
Of somebody who I used to be
Reflecting on jealousy towards a former self.
And I can't even speak
Reiterating the inability to articulate due to overwhelming emotions.
It's just my blatant sensitivity
Describing an obvious and unhidden emotional vulnerability.
Cause I just want to wrap my arms around you for good
Reiterating the desire to comfort and protect someone indefinitely.
And say nothing is going to get you now
Reassuring someone of safety and support.
I've got you shamelessly
Expressing a strong and unashamed commitment to caring for someone.
And that's all I ever want to say to you
Stating the singer's primary desire is to reassure and comfort.
Just to try to take a little fear away
Wanting to alleviate some of the fear someone is experiencing.
