Lyrics

I'm so confused how to live without you

I feel lost and uncertain about how to carry on without you.

I'm not comfortable being all alone

Being alone makes me uneasy and uncomfortable.

And when I walk downtown I can see her everywhere

Even when I'm in the city, reminders of you are everywhere.

She's the streets at night

You are symbolically represented as the streets at night.

She's the morning light

You are also associated with the morning light.

And the main thing I think about at night

My thoughts revolve around you as the main focus during the night.

But we're better off this way, right

Despite the challenges, there's a belief that separation is for the best.


Carolina you're too far away from me

You, Carolina, are geographically distant from me.

Why can't you see California's what you need

Encouraging Carolina to realize that California is what she needs.

What can I do so I don't ever lose you?

A plea or reflection on what actions can be taken to avoid losing the connection.


And I know now that the world isn't over baby

Realization that life goes on, and the emotional turmoil isn't the end of the world.

Talk to me, how's your family?

Expressing a desire for communication, asking about Carolina's family.

And we're better off out in the world

Belief that both individuals are better off exploring the world separately.

And the two of us can be who we want to be

A vision of a future where both can be true to themselves.

And she's quite a lot

Carolina is acknowledged as a significant presence.

I have to see, she is real, she's really not for me

Recognition that despite the attraction, she may not be the right fit.


Carolina you're too far away from me,

Reiteration of the geographical distance between the speaker and Carolina.

Why can't you see California's what you need

Repeating the idea that California could fulfill Carolina's needs.

What can I do so I don't ever lose you?

A question about what actions can be taken to preserve the relationship.


Carolina you're too far away from me,

Restating the physical distance and the suggestion that California is a better fit.

Why can't you see California's what you need

Emphasizing that California might offer what Carolina truly needs.

What can I do so I don't ever lose you?

A repeated plea to find a way to avoid losing each other.

So I don't ever lose you

A strong desire not to lose Carolina, reiterated for emphasis.

So I don't ever lose you

A final plea or expression of determination to prevent the loss of Carolina.
