Lyrics
There was nothing left when I let you go
Expresses the emptiness felt after letting go of someone.
Just ghosts in the house that we used to know
Describes the lingering memories in the house of the past relationship.
Now I sleep in the middle of our too-big bed
Highlights the loneliness in a large bed, symbolizing the absence of a partner.
And I listen to my heart
Listening to one's own emotions and feelings, perhaps in reflection.
I gave you one last chance, but you let me down
Reference to a failed opportunity given to the other person.
Chipping holes in my body till the love ran out
Describes emotional pain inflicted by the other person until love diminished.
Now I look to the past, staring into the sun
Reflecting on the past, possibly with a sense of regret or nostalgia.
How you broke my fragile heart
Expresses the vulnerability and pain caused by a broken heart.
Oh, oh no
Conveys a sense of time passing slowly and a desire to return home.
Everything moves slow
-Standing stranded on my own
-And now I wanna go home
-I just wanna go home
-Oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh
-We built this castle but it's made out of sand
Metaphorically describes the fragility of their relationship using a sand castle.
In an hourglass, slipping through our shaking hands
Implies the fleeting nature of time, slipping away like sand through hands.
Now I'm tightrope walking and I can't look down
Feels like walking a tightrope, signifying a delicate and uncertain situation.
Why'd you break my fragile heart?
Reiterates the impact of a broken heart on the speaker.
Oh, oh no
Repeats the theme of time moving slowly and the desire to go home.
Everything moves slow
-Standing stranded on my own
-And now I wanna go home
-I just wanna go home
-Oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh
-Just take me back to the future
Expresses a wish to return to a better future or a happier time.
I'm gonna turn back time and start again
Desire to reverse time and start anew due to being emotionally distant.
Cause I'm too far gone to love again
Acknowledges being too emotionally damaged to engage in love again.
And now I wanna go home
Reiterates the desire to go home, suggesting a place of comfort and security.
I just wanna go home
-Oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh
-Just take me back to the future
Repeats the plea to be taken back to a better future.
Take me back to the future
-Take me back to the future
Reiterates the plea to be taken back to the future, emphasizing the desire for improvement.
