Lyrics
I don't move but the rooms around me do
I am stationary, but the surroundings change.
I want the world to slow right down
Desire for the world to slow down.
So I could walk around right through
Wish to navigate through life at a leisurely pace.
Looking at people mid laugh
Observing people in moments of joy.
And say I knew it i knew there was joy here
Recognition of joy and the realization that it was present.
Hiding from me
Joy seems elusive and hidden.
I think I know you're right
Acknowledging someone else's correctness.
But I'll find out for myself
Determination to verify the truth independently.
I didn't catch an invite
No formal invitation received.
Falling down the stairwell
Experiencing a metaphorical descent or setback.
Fish with their mouths open
Imagery of fish with open mouths.
Live behind the glass
Life observed from a distance, behind a barrier.
Kiss with your mouth closed
Advice to be cautious and reserved in romantic relationships.
And stab me through the heart
An emotional betrayal or hurt.
I don't move but the people around me do
Staying still while others move around.
Everyone wants to feel loved
Universal desire for love.
From the guy they're getting to know
People seek love from those they are getting to know.
So don't torture yourself to be real
Encouragement to be genuine rather than forcing authenticity.
An FAUX flower has just as much appeal
Comparing genuine and artificial beauty.
I think I know you're right
Reiteration of the intention to confirm personal beliefs.
But I'll find out for myself
Determination to verify the truth independently.
I didn't catch an invite
No formal invitation received.
Falling down the stairwell
Experiencing a metaphorical descent or setback.
Fish with their mouths open
Imagery of fish with open mouths.
Live behind the glass
Life observed from a distance, behind a barrier.
Kiss with your mouth closed
Advice to be cautious and reserved in romantic relationships.
And stab me through the heart
An emotional betrayal or hurt.
I knew there was joy here hiding from me
A retrospective understanding of joy that was elusive.
