Lyrics
Give me a reason to hold on I’m tumbling down
Seeking a compelling reason to endure; feeling a descent or struggle.
Spent too long staring at the sun and not watching the ground
Regret over spending too much time on unimportant things, neglecting crucial aspects.
Give me a reason to stay cause I need you right now
Request for a reason to remain, expressing a current need for support.
Spent too long fighting with tide just to turn the ship round
Acknowledging past struggles against difficult circumstances without significant progress.
Done fighting your corner
Refusing to defend someone else's position at the expense of personal well-being.
At the expense of mine
Highlighting the imbalance in prioritizing someone else's concerns over one's own.
And all of the while
During this time of imbalance, time is being wasted without positive outcomes.
We just keep wasting time
Despite the imbalance, both parties continue to waste time without resolution.
Don’t say I don’t warn you
Warning about potential consequences, emphasizing the stakes in the relationship.
Our hearts on the line and you wonder why
Pointing out that hearts are at risk, questioning the lack of understanding or concern.
Rules don’t seem to apply
Observing that conventional rules and expectations are not being followed.
Give me a reason to hold on I’m tumbling down
Reiterating the need for a reason to endure while feeling a descent or struggle.
Spent too long staring at the sun and not watching the ground
Reflecting on past mistakes, neglecting important aspects of life.
(Watch me fall)
Adding a visual element of falling, emphasizing the impact of previous errors.
Give me a reason to stay cause I need you right now
Reiterating the need for support, particularly in the current moment.
Spent too long fighting with tide just to turn the ship round
Recalling struggles against the tide, attempting to change the course without success.
And I’m still just dangling
Expressing a state of uncertainty or vulnerability, waiting for a decision.
Still waiting for you
Continuing to wait for someone to make a decision or take action.
To make up your mind
Highlighting the need for a decision while emphasizing the absence of a response.
But there’s still no reply
Reinforcing the lack of communication or clarity in the situation.
And it looks like we pushed it too far this time
Suggesting that the relationship has reached a breaking point with irreparable damage.
And memories are tarnished and lost in my mind and I need
Memories are tarnished, and there is a need for emotional relief or resolution.
Some sense of relief
Desiring a sense of relief from the emotional burden of the past.
Give me a reason to swim cause I’m starting to drown
Requesting a reason to continue fighting or striving when facing difficulties.
Our eyes were too fixed on horizons to spot the grey clouds
Realizing that focus was misplaced, neglecting warning signs or potential issues.
Give me a reason to stay when your patience runs out
Seeking a reason to stay despite diminishing patience in the relationship.
We spent too long sprinting up this hill just to stagger back down
Acknowledging the effort invested in an uphill struggle with little progress.
Give me a reason to hold on I’m tumbling down
Reiterating the plea for a compelling reason to endure during a challenging time.
We spent too long staring at the sun and not watching the ground
Recalling past mistakes, emphasizing the consequences of not paying attention.
(watch me fall)
Reinforcing the visual element of falling, highlighting the impact of neglect.
Give me a reason to stay cause I need you right now
Repeating the need for support, particularly in the current moment of crisis.
We spent too long fighting with the tide just to turn the ship round
Revisiting the struggles against the tide, attempting to redirect the course of the relationship.
Give me a reason to stay cause I need you right now
Reiterating the immediate need for support and resolution in the relationship.
We spent too long fighting with the tide just to turn the ship round
Stressing the prolonged struggle against the tide, seeking a positive change in the relationship's direction.
