Lyrics

I've been sitting here waiting,

I have been patiently waiting.

Trying to fall asleep,

Struggling to fall asleep.

There is an answer in

There is a solution in my mind to understand, but I can't end the internal struggle.

My head to see, but I can't stop the fight,

Despite the answer in my head, I can't stop the emotional conflict.

I've been going crazy,

I have been becoming mentally unstable.

There's nowhere to run

Feeling trapped with no escape.

And I'm feeling so hazy.

Experiencing confusion and haziness.

It's the drugs that I took,

The impact of drugs consumed.

The wine that I drank,

The influence of alcohol consumed.

The nights here alone

Nights spent alone, and emotional turmoil symbolized by the head in the sink.

And my head in the sink.

Expressing a need for personal time and space.

I need time to myself

Reflecting on experiences at sea.

Back on the sea,

Desiring solitude and personal time at sea.

I want nothing more

Expressing a desire for the presence of a significant other.

Than for you to be here with me.

Yearning for companionship.

Is it wasted alone,

Questioning if time spent alone is wasted.

Am I wasting away?

Concerns about personal deterioration and wasting away.

Just one more year

Referring to a specific time frame ("one more year") that won't be taken away.

I won't take that away from you

A commitment to not taking away time from a significant other.


Back on the road

Returning to the road, away from the sea.

Here on the land,

Being on land is not as ideal as it seems.

It's not cracked up to be

Challenging the romanticized view of life on land.

All it is understand

Understanding the reality of the situation.

Where I'm coming, I've gone,

Reflecting on past experiences and travels.

I'd see you around,

Expecting to encounter familiar faces.

I've been here before

Feeling emotionally vulnerable and defeated.

Curled up on the ground.

Recalling a state of emotional distress.

Make it here on my own,

Striving for independence and self-sufficiency.

Away from today,

Seeking escape from the challenges of the present.

With all of the faces

Encountering familiar faces repeatedly.

I'm seeing the same.

Feeling a sense of monotony or stagnation.

Got you out on the ocean,

Imagining a loved one on the ocean.

Here on the sea,

Comparing the challenges faced at sea with emotional struggles.

The waves in your face

Visualizing intense emotional confrontation.

And you're shouting at me.

Experiencing emotional intensity in a relationship.

Won't you

Addressing someone directly.

Lay here awake,

Requesting someone to stay awake with them.

Don't fall asleep

Advising against falling asleep.

Holding me holding on

Emphasizing the importance of physical closeness.

It makes sense to me.

Expressing a personal understanding of the situation.

But you wouldn't allow

Desiring emotional connection, which is not allowed by the other person.

And it's killing me now,

The emotional pain of being denied connection.

Don't you know.

Expressing the profound impact of emotional rejection.
