Lyrics

You say to me you want to live but you're stuck in line

You express a desire to live, but feel stuck and constrained by circumstances.

I want it all for you and me but we're wasting time

There's a wish for a fulfilling life for both of you, but time is being wasted.

You never warned, you never called

No warnings or calls have been made, and there's a sense of inevitability about consequences.

You'll never get away

Escape seems unlikely; there's a feeling of being trapped.

I'm at a loss where do we cross. Do you really want to stay

Uncertainty about the path forward, questioning the commitment to the current situation.


I think the walls are high enough

Suggesting that barriers and challenges are significant and possibly insurmountable.

I think the world is wide enough

The world is vast, implying opportunities, but perhaps they are not easily accessible.

If you really want it bad, you'll know

If the desire is strong, success may be achievable.


But I can't hang on

An acknowledgment of the inability to hold on or maintain the current situation.

We're drifting farther from the truth

There's a realization that the distance from the truth is increasing.

Can't lift you up

Unable to uplift or support, a sense of falling beyond expected levels.

We've fallen farther than we knew

Recognizing a deeper fall than initially understood.

I can't hang on

Reiterating the inability to sustain the current state despite love.

I love you but I cannot move

A declaration of love, yet the inability to make a significant move.

Can't life you up

Unable to lift or elevate the situation.

You cannot play me for the fool

Addressing a refusal to be deceived or manipulated.


You came to me as plain as day

A clear and direct expression of a message or feeling.

The feeling came around

A recurring feeling or emotion surfaces.

I hold you up, I want to stay

An attempt to support and remain, despite an impending sense of drowning.

But I know I'll drown

Recognition of the potential negative outcome despite intentions.

You are my one, you are my drum

Affirmation of a deep connection, an integral part of one's life.

You'll never fade away

Assurance that the connection will endure and not fade away.

The roots are deep, we're never done

Deeply rooted in the relationship, implying an enduring nature.

I know that I can't stay

Acknowledgment that, despite the deep roots, continuation may not be possible.


But I can't hang on

Reiteration of the inability to hold on or maintain the current situation.

We're drifting farther from the truth

Recognition of the increasing distance from the truth.

Can't lift you up

Continued inability to uplift or support, a sense of falling beyond expected levels.

We've fallen farther than we knew

Acknowledgment of a deeper fall than initially understood.

I can't hang on

Reiteration of the inability to sustain the current state despite love.

I love you but I cannot move

Reaffirmation of love, yet the acknowledgment of the inability to make a significant move.

Can't life you up

Continued inability to lift or elevate the situation.

You cannot play me for the fool

Reiteration of the refusal to be deceived or manipulated.


You cannot play me for the fool (But I can't hang on)

Emphasis on not being deceived or taken advantage of, despite the inability to hold on.

I love you but I cannot move. (But I can't hang on)

Reaffirmation of love, coupled with the acknowledgment of the inability to make a significant move.


But I can't hang on

Reiteration of the inability to hold on or maintain the current situation.

Drifting farther from the truth

Acknowledgment of the increasing distance from the truth.

Can't lift you up

Continued inability to uplift or support, recognizing a fall beyond expected levels.

We've fallen farther than we knew

Acknowledgment of a deeper fall than initially understood.

I can't hang on

Reiteration of the inability to sustain the current state despite love.

I love you but I cannot move

Reaffirmation of love, coupled with the acknowledgment of the inability to make a significant move.

Can't life you up

Continued inability to lift or elevate the situation.

You cannot play me for the fool

Reiteration of the refusal to be deceived or manipulated.
