Lyrics
Whenever I wake to see you wake, so near you
Expressing the joy of waking up close to someone special.
I get kind of tired just watching you perspire
Feeling fatigue or exhaustion while observing the other person sweating, possibly from physical exertion.
Sleepy in the corner of your eye
Noticing a sense of drowsiness or sleepiness in the other person's expression.
I've lived my life so well
Reflecting on a life lived well.
Whenever I hold my head up high I note
Acknowledging a positive self-perception when holding one's head high.
There's no sky under which I lie
Realizing the absence of limits or boundaries in life.
So motionless at times
Describing moments of stillness and contemplation.
I get off on watching the seasons fly by
Finding enjoyment in observing the passage of time and changing seasons.
I've lived my life so well
Reiterating a contentment with how life has been lived.
But you've put me through hell
Expressing the emotional turmoil inflicted by someone.
But it'll get better my love
Despite the hardships, expressing hope for improvement in the relationship.
You left your sweater hung up in my heart
Metaphorically portraying emotional remnants left by the person, comparing it to a hung-up sweater in the speaker's heart.
But I'll get better
Reiterating optimism for personal improvement despite challenges.
I've lived my life so well
Repeating contentment with one's own life choices and experiences.
Why don't you take off
Suggesting the other person to reveal their true emotions or intentions.
Your thinly disguised emoting lies
Encouraging the removal or cleansing of the speaker's fears by the other person.
Wash away my dear, all of my worst fears
Using imagery of washing away fears with the metaphor of water.
I get eerie feelings when you're near
Experiencing unsettling sensations in close proximity to the other person.
I've lived my life so well
Reiterating satisfaction with the speaker's life journey.
But you've put me through hell
Expressing the emotional distress caused by the other person.
But I'll get better my love
Remaining hopeful for improvement in the relationship despite difficulties.
You left your sweater hung up in my heart
Continuing the metaphor of the person's impact as a sweater left in the speaker's heart.
But I'll get better
Reaffirming optimism for personal recovery and growth.
I've lived my life so well
Reiterating satisfaction with the speaker's life journey.
