Lyrics

Don't know where I am

Feeling disoriented and lost, unsure of current location or situation.


It's too bright to make sense

Surrounded by brightness, possibly metaphorical for confusion or discomfort.


Empty cars, white lines,

Observing abandoned cars and white lines, creating an image of desolation.


It feels like a parking lot.

Comparing the current feeling to a parking lot, suggesting emptiness or stagnation.


How many days or weeks

Uncertain about the passage of time since last encountering someone important.


Oh has it been today

-

Feels like years ago since I saw you anyway

-

But I do remember the years of making do

Recalling difficult times and challenges faced in the past.


No legal tender no

Struggling financially, trying to survive without legal tender.


just trying to make it through

-

And I do remember

Remembering past plans and aspirations, holding onto memories.


the plans we used to make

-

They're the ones that I hold and all that I take

-

Far away from the ones

Expressing distance from loved ones, particularly someone significant.


Oh that I love

-

Far away from you

-

Something I can't seem to learn to do.

Finding it challenging to learn how to cope with the separation.


And Oh i'm a mess without you

Admitting to being a mess without the significant other and struggling to cope.


And Oh i'm barely making do

-

And oh it shouldn't have to feel this way.

Questioning the necessity of feeling this way, possibly expressing regret.


Smile and wave. Just pretend. It didn't have to ever end.

Putting on a facade, pretending that the end didn't have to happen.


Try to make sense of things when you know it never will.

Attempting to make sense of situations that are inherently confusing and unsolvable.


Try to pretend it's worth all the time we trade.

Pretending that the time invested in a relationship is worth it, despite doubts.


Like there's a reason but you know it isn't true

Doubting the existence of a valid reason for the current emotional state.


Cuz there's no reason no

Acknowledging the absence of a genuine reason to be so far away from a loved one.


to be this far away from you.

-

Far away from the ones

Repeating the theme of being distant from loved ones and struggling to adapt.


Oh that I love

-

Far away from you

-

Something I can't seem to learn to do.

Continuing to find it difficult to learn how to cope with the separation.


And Oh i'm a mess without you

Reiterating the emotional turmoil and messiness experienced without the significant other.
