Lyrics
Sometimes you're far away.
Sometimes the person addressed in the lyrics is emotionally distant or physically far away.
Sometimes you just don't hear
There are times when the person doesn't pay attention or actively listen to what is being said.
A single word I say.
Communication is challenging as the person doesn't respond or acknowledge the speaker's words.
Sometimes you just don't care,
Indifference is expressed, suggesting moments when the person doesn't care about the speaker's feelings or concerns.
Sometimes you just don't care, at all.
Reiteration of the theme of emotional detachment, emphasizing a lack of care or concern.
Sometimes I don't know why,
The speaker is puzzled or confused about the reasons behind their love, expressing uncertainty or doubt.
Sometimes I don't know why.
-Sometimes I don't know why
-I love you, sometimes.
The speaker acknowledges the inconsistency in their feelings, admitting that their love is not constant.
You never look at me,
The person being addressed rarely makes eye contact, symbolizing emotional unavailability or disinterest.
You're always somewhere else.
The person is often mentally or emotionally absent, perhaps preoccupied with other thoughts or concerns.
We might be all alone
Despite physical proximity, there's a sense of emotional isolation, with the person being distant even when alone together.
But you're all by yourself.
-You tell me that you're tired,
The person claims fatigue as a reason for emotional distance, but this explanation feels incomplete or insufficient.
You tell me that you're tired
-And that's all.
-Sometimes I think I'll leave,
Contemplation of leaving due to the perceived lack of impact on the person's life.
You wouldn't miss me much.
The speaker questions the significance of their presence in the person's life, wondering if they would be missed.
And then you take my hand,
A moment of connection occurs when the person takes the speaker's hand, suggesting a fleeting emotional bond.
Ooh, and then I feel your touch.
The touch triggers a positive emotional response, revealing the power of physical contact in the relationship.
Suddenly I know,
An abrupt realization dawns on the speaker, highlighting the importance of these moments of connection and touch in understanding their purpose or role in the relationship.
Yeah, suddenly I know
-Why I'm here.
The speaker discovers or recognizes the purpose or meaning behind their presence in the relationship, which was unclear before.
