Lyrics
Oh, Elyse
Addressing a person named Elyse
You sit there every night
Describing Elyse's nightly habit of being in a certain place
Wishing away your whole short life
Elyse wishing away her short life, possibly feeling discontent or unfulfilled
Don't you know
Suggesting that celestial elements fade or lose significance
That the stars will lose their light
Implying the responsibility on Elyse to make correct decisions
So it's on you
Encouragement for Elyse to take a risk or make a decision
To get this one right
Advising to take action without hesitation
Hold your breath, close your eyes
Preparing for a significant change or leap
Jump right to the other side
Encouraging to face change without looking back
Don't look back, don't think twice
Assuring that positive feelings will accompany the leap
'Cause you'll feel it when you fly
Repetition emphasizing the anticipation of a positive outcome
Ba dum, ba dum...
A musical interlude, possibly reflecting heartbeat or anticipation
So it's cold
Describing a situation as cold but with potential for positivity
But the wind can feel so nice
Encouragement to embrace the opportunity despite discomfort
Give it a chance
Encouraging Elyse to take a chance or seize an opportunity
I know you want to try
Acknowledging Elyse's desire to try something new
Go be bold
Encouraging bravery and resilience in facing challenges
Take the whiplash in your stride
Suggesting to confront difficulties with confidence
Write your own story
Empowerment to create one's own narrative or destiny
And pick the end you like
Encouragement to choose a favorable conclusion or path
Just hold your breath, close your eyes
Reiteration of preparing for a significant change or leap
Jump right to the other side
Reiterating the need to embrace change without hesitation
Don't look back, don't think twice
Encouraging to focus on the future without dwelling on the past
'Cause you'll feel it when you fly
Reiteration of positive feelings accompanying the leap
Ba dum, ba dum…
Continuation of the musical interlude, possibly reflecting anticipation or excitement
You tiptoe on eggshells and wrap up your heart
Describing Elyse's cautious approach and vulnerability
Then watch things fall apart
Observing the consequences of Elyse's cautiousness leading to disappointment
So stamp all those eggshells and toss in your heart
Suggesting a change in approach by discarding caution
'Cause this is where we start
Emphasizing a new beginning or a turning point
Hold your breath, close your eyes
Reiteration of preparing for a significant change or leap
Jump right to the other side
Encouragement to face change without hesitation
Don't look back, don't think twice
Reiteration of focusing on the future and leaving the past behind
'Cause you'll feel it when you fly
Reiteration of positive feelings accompanying the leap
Hold your breath, close your eyes
Reiteration of preparing for a significant change or leap
Jump right to the other side
Encouraging to embrace change without looking back
Don't look back, don't think twice
Reiteration of focusing on the future and leaving the past behind
'Cause you'll feel it when you fly
Reiteration of positive feelings accompanying the leap
Ba dum, ba dum…
Continuation of the musical interlude, reflecting anticipation or excitement towards flying
You'll fly…
Assurance of success or progress in flying or achieving goals
