Lyrics
I guess it's out of respect for you
Expressing the speaker's intention to be respectful towards someone
That I let my words always get the best of me
Admitting that the speaker's words often get out of control despite the intention to be respectful
And it's out of respect for you
Reiterating the speaker's respect and announcing the decision to let the other person go
I'm going to let you go
Expressing the speaker's willingness to release the other person
I'm going to watch you be a star from the back of my mind
Observing the other person's success from a distance while accepting the separation
So I'm going roll and I'm going fill up my time
Deciding to keep busy and fill time to cope with the situation
'Cause it so much harder to float around
Reflecting on the difficulty of staying afloat emotionally
Than it is to hit the ground
Comparing the challenge of floating around emotionally to the relative ease of hitting rock bottom
I've got to breakthrough
Expressing the speaker's need for a breakthrough
Just let me breakthrough
Requesting permission or opportunity to achieve the breakthrough
Please
Repetition of "Please" emphasizing the urgency of the request for a breakthrough
Please
-I'm kind of surprised I don't feel so bad
Expressing surprise at not feeling too bad despite a challenging week
When I think about the kind of week I've had
Reflecting on the positive perspective adopted despite difficulties
I look at things in a positive way
Highlighting a positive outlook on the speaker's recent experiences
It's the brand new me as of the other day
Introducing a new and positive self-image formed recently
And I walk, with the air beneath my feet
Describing a confident and light-footed walk
It is so much harder to float around
Reiterating the difficulty of emotional floating compared to hitting the ground
Than it is to hit the ground
Repeating the contrast between floating and hitting the ground emotionally
I've got to breakthrough
Expressing the ongoing need for a breakthrough
Just let me breakthrough
Reiterating the desire for permission or opportunity to break through
Please
Repetition of "Please" intensifying the plea for a breakthrough
Why can't I see
Pondering why the speaker cannot see a particular side of themselves
You don't want to see this side of me
Suggesting that the other person may not want to witness a certain aspect of the speaker
Why can't I know
Questioning why the speaker cannot know something
You don't want to know how far I'll go
Speculating that the other person may not want to know the extent of the speaker's actions
Please
Repetition of "Please" reinforcing the plea for a breakthrough
You know it's so much harder to float around
Reiterating the challenge of emotional floating compared to hitting the ground
Than it is to hit the ground
Restating the need for a breakthrough
You've got to breakthrough
Emphasizing that the other person also needs to break through
Please
Repetition of "Please" intensifying the plea for a breakthrough
Please
-Please
-Please
-Please
-Please
