Lyrics
Stuck in a memory of us
Feeling trapped in a memory of the relationship.
It's so hard to know that we're worlds apart
Expressing the difficulty of being separated by a significant distance.
And I was so wrong to think this would all be so easy
Acknowledging a mistaken belief that the situation would be easy.
But trust me I'll be back for more
Promise to return for more experiences in the future.
Until then I'll close my eyes
During the separation, closing eyes to remember and cherish the past.
And your past will be safe with me here
Promising to keep memories of the partner's past safe.
Forever
Commitment to cherish the memories forever.
I dive into a world of fact and fiction
Exploring a mix of reality and imagination.
But I'm swimming in my own contradiction
Admitting internal conflicts and contradictions.
In my fantasy you are here with me
In a fantasy, imagining the partner's presence and finding comfort.
And it makes my nights a little richer
Imagining that the fantasy enriches the nights.
I'm falling in love with a faded picture of you, my fantasy
Falling in love with an idealized, faded image of the partner.
You're here with me
Reveling in the presence of the partner within the fantasy.
You can say its alright
Seeking reassurance that everything is okay.
You can say you don't mind
Expressing a desire for the partner's understanding.
It's killing me to be away from you
The pain of being physically separated is distressing.
So you can say its alright
Repeating the plea for reassurance and understanding.
And you can say you don't mind
Reiterating the acceptance of the situation but expressing inner turmoil.
It's killing me to be away from your side
Highlighting the emotional pain caused by the physical distance.
I'm done with hellos and goodbyes
Expressing fatigue with greetings and farewells.
I'm falling apart inside
Feeling emotionally broken on the inside.
I try to make you speak
Attempting to elicit communication from the partner.
But your beautiful, awkward silence falls on me
Appreciating the partner's beautiful, yet silent, presence.
Its killing me to be away from
Reiteration of the emotional difficulty of being apart.
You are the burning in my throat
Describing the partner as a sensation in the throat.
A gentle wisp of smoke
Depicting the partner as a fleeting and gentle presence.
That ever quickly floats past my face
Metaphorically describing the partner's departure like dissipating smoke.
Then you're gone, and I wish it wasn't true
Expressing a wish for the partner's continued presence.
