Lyrics

Now I'm divided like a flock of birds when excited

Feeling emotionally torn, like a group of birds in excitement.

And picture circles in the sky

Imagining circular patterns in the sky.

You can't believe me

Expressing skepticism or doubt in what the speaker is saying.

Like all of the others who leave me

Similar to others who have abandoned or rejected the speaker.

And feel their shapes across the aisle

Sensing the presence of those who have left, feeling their impact.


Twirl things around us

Rotating or manipulating things around the speaker.

And the shadows they left as they found us

Referring to the lingering effects or memories of departed individuals.

Or running fingers through your hair

Touching or feeling someone's hair in an intimate manner.

It's life that ended

Reflecting on the end of life.

And the tracks that they left as they ascended

Traces or imprints left behind by those who have departed.

They'll picture circles in the air

Imagining circular patterns in the air, possibly representing memories or emotions.


Sometimes in her eyes, I see forever

Perceiving a timeless quality in someone's eyes.

I can't believe what we've found

Expressing disbelief or astonishment at what has been discovered.

I know in time, we'll be together

Anticipating a future where the speaker and the subject will be united.

And now our love will make this sound

Love creating a distinctive and meaningful sound.


Now I'm divided

Repeating the theme of emotional conflict.

Like a flock of birds when excited

Reimagining circular patterns in the sky.

And picture circles in the sky

Reiterating doubt or disbelief in the speaker's words.

You can't believe me

Similar to others who have left, leaving a lasting impact.

Like all of the others who leave me

Sensing the presence of those who have departed and their influence.

And feel their shapes across the aisle

Feeling the impact or traces of those who have left across a distance.


Sometimes in her eyes, I see forever

Reiterating the timeless quality perceived in someone's eyes.

I can't believe what we've found

Expressing disbelief or awe at the discovered connection.

I know in time, we'll be together

Anticipating a future reunion and unity.

And now our love will make this sound

Love creating a distinctive and meaningful sound, echoing line 17.


Sometimes in her eyes, I see forever

Reiteration of perceiving eternity in someone's gaze.

I can't believe what we've found

Reexpressing astonishment at the discovered connection.

I know in time, we'll be together

Confident in the eventual coming together of the speaker and the subject.

And now our love will make this sound

Love continuing to create a meaningful and distinctive sound.
