State Lines and Hard Times
Navigating Love's Maze: State Lines and Hard Times
Lyrics
When we wake up
Upon waking up
When we wake up we'll act like it ain't special
Upon waking up, pretending it's not special
We'll close the door
Closing the door
Close the door to a future burning bright
Closing the door to a future that once seemed promising
So go ahead
Encouraging someone to leave
So go ahead and walk away
Granting permission to walk away
We never said
Acknowledging an unspoken agreement
No, we never said that this was alright
Clarifying that the situation is not acceptable
State lines and hard times
Mentioning the impact of geographical separation and challenging circumstances
Make our shadows drift further apart
Describing how difficulties cause emotional distance
You and me was once a dream
Reflecting on a past dream of unity
I will attack if you take my heart
Expressing a defensive stance regarding one's emotions
Before the night
Referring to a pivotal moment before a significant change
Before the night you let me inside
Recalling a moment of vulnerability
Just like a ghost
Comparing someone's reappearance to a ghost
Yeah like a ghost you reappeared
Highlighting the unexpected return of someone from the past
I'm something more
Asserting one's identity or worth
I'm something more is how you made it seem
Describing an elevated sense of self created by someone else
But unlike you
Contrasting personal clarity with someone else's uncertainty
Unlike you my vision's unclear
Expressing a lack of clear understanding similar to someone else
State lines and hard times
Reiterating the impact of distance and difficulties on a relationship
Make our shadows drift further apart
Emphasizing the widening emotional gap due to external challenges
You and me was once a dream
Recalling a shared dream that is now distant
I will attack if you take my heart
Issuing a defensive statement about protecting one's emotions
