I Can Feel You Drifting
Navigating Love's Dissonance: I Can Feel You Drifting
Lyrics
You took me out so far that i can't swim to shore
You took me to a point where I feel stranded and unable to find a way back to safety.
I've been holding on but you're not anymore
I've been trying to hold on to our relationship, but it seems like you are no longer doing the same.
Our love would always lead us home
Our love was supposed to guide us back home, symbolized by the constancy of the northern star.
Constant as the northern star
Expressing the enduring nature of their love using the metaphor of the constant northern star.
Here's a storm we won't get through cause it's not in your heart
A metaphorical storm in the relationship that they won't overcome because it's not in the partner's heart.
I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach
Sensing the partner gradually becoming distant and unreachable emotionally.
Out there in the distance, there's something else you need
The partner is pursuing something else beyond the current relationship.
If i could be what's missing, that's all i'd want to be
Expressing a willingness to become whatever is missing to salvage the relationship.
I can feel you drifting
Reiterating the feeling of the partner drifting away emotionally.
In the silence that's become the company we keep
The silence between them has replaced the communication they once had.
I've realized how far we are from what we used to be
Realization of the significant distance between their current state and the past.
Part of you has gone somewhere i can't seem to touch
A part of the partner has changed or gone somewhere unreachable for the speaker.
I could stay and take what's left, but baby, that's not us
Considering staying and accepting what remains, but recognizing it's not true to who they are as a couple.
I can feel you drifting slowly out of reach
Reiterating the emotional distance and the feeling of the partner slipping away.
Out there in the distance, there's something else you need
Highlighting something else the partner needs beyond the current relationship.
If i could be what's missing, that's all i'd want to be
Expressing a desire to be whatever is missing to restore the connection.
I can feel you drifting
Repeating the sentiment of feeling the partner drifting away emotionally.
If i could be what's missing, that's all i'd want to be
Reiterating the willingness to be what's missing to save the relationship.
I can feel you drifting
Repeating the sensation of the partner drifting away emotionally.
You're out of reach
Concluding that the partner is now out of emotional reach.
