Here, Now, Forever
Eternal Questions of Love and Longing
Lyrics
Sitting all alone on the long ride home
Sitting alone during a long journey back home.
You were next to me, now we’re both alone
Originally accompanied, but now both individuals are alone.
Something that was said, getting in your head
Words spoken that affect someone's thoughts negatively.
Tumbling thought now you’re crumbling under me
Overwhelmed by confusing thoughts, causing emotional breakdown.
Bodies turn away, nothing left to say
Communication breakdown, leading to silence.
Progress isn’t made
Lack of progress or improvement in the situation.
Hearts are far away
Emotional distance, hearts metaphorically distant.
I can feel the pain in you drowning me
Feeling the emotional pain, possibly from the other person.
Why are you hiding all from me?
Questioning why the other person is keeping things hidden.
I start to think about how all I’ve ever wanted was you
Reflecting on the desire for the other person.
And I would hold you in my arms until your heart could hear the truth
Expressing a commitment to comforting the other person.
If you could be alone, you could be the one
Suggesting that being alone could lead to self-discovery.
To lie to me , don’t lie to me
Warning against dishonesty in the relationship.
My eyes will never stray
Expressing loyalty and commitment.
It takes two hearts to open for love but right now…it’s just me
Emphasizing the one-sided effort in opening hearts for love.
How do I know if I still do?
Questioning the continuity of feelings.
How can I see?
Seeking clarity on the current emotional state.
Can you show me right now?
Requesting immediate demonstration of feelings.
How do I know if I still do?
Repeating the uncertainty about ongoing emotions.
What do you see?
Asking the other person's perspective on the situation.
Floating all alone, living in my head
Feeling isolated and trapped in one's thoughts.
Wish I wouldn’t be sinking with regret
Regretting past actions and sinking emotionally.
Wonder how you feel living without my love in you
Wondering how the other person copes without their love.
Far from you
Expressing distance and reluctance to replace the other person.
Don’t want another you
Rejecting the idea of finding a substitute.
Call you up again, say what isn’t
Attempting communication again, addressing unresolved issues.
Energy is red
Referring to heightened emotional intensity.
Now you’re in my head spinning in circles again and again
The other person's presence dominating thoughts.
I start to think about how all I’ve ever wanted was the truth
Reflecting on the desire for truth in the relationship.
And life together on the mountainside as far as I can see
Envisioning a shared life on a metaphorical mountainside.
If you could be alone, I could be the one
Reiterating the potential of self-discovery through solitude.
For love and wealth , to fill your lungs, to kill your thoughts and steal your heart
Desiring love, prosperity, and influence on the other person.
Truth is love holds more beauty than words could say
Acknowledging the beauty of truth in love.
I needed you
Expressing a personal need for the other person.
