Lyrics
Woke up - didn't sleep long
Waking up after a short sleep duration.
Same day do nothing at all
Spending the entire day doing nothing.
Take my pills as a swallow sings songs
Taking medication while a bird (swallow) sings, suggesting a routine.
And nothing is wrong
Emphasizing that everything seems fine or normal.
Now I fear I've stayed away too long
Expressing concern about being absent for too long.
Turn around but everyone has gone
Finding that everyone has left upon returning.
Woke up - late last night
Waking up again, this time in a cold room.
In a room so cold I thought I'd died
Feeling as if the cold room resembles death.
But no - I wish I had someone to love instead
Expressing a desire for companionship and love.
Told you not to stay away too long
Advising against prolonged absence.
(And the same feeling returns)
Reflecting on recurring feelings.
But some things come and just as soon they're gone
Acknowledging transient nature - things come and go.
(Memories are taken from you)
Highlighting the loss of memories.
How's it feel to lay awake?
Asking about the experience of insomnia.
Burning love and bones that ache
Describing the pain of unrequited or lost love.
(Taken from you)
Reiterating the loss of memories.
4AM phone full of names
Noting a phone filled with contacts at an early morning hour.
Empty sheets : an empty frame
Describing an empty bed and an empty picture frame.
(Taken from you)
Repeating the theme of lost memories.
No one there to answer all your calls
Expressing the absence of someone to answer calls.
