Lyrics
Feeling like this could only mean
Expressing a feeling that something is going wrong or deteriorating
I'm sinking
Conveying a sense of sinking, possibly in terms of emotions or a relationship
Feeling like this could only mean
Reiteration of the feeling that things are getting worse
I'm sinking
Reiteration of the sense of sinking or decline
Well, I'm sinking
Further emphasizing the sinking feeling
Pull me out
Seeking help or rescue from the sinking emotions or situation
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor
Observation of personal belongings scattered, indicating someone's absence
I say, I thought you would be home
Expressing surprise that the person is not home as expected
You said you never would be gone
Recalling a promise or assurance that the person would not be absent
Every time I see the light not burning on the porch
Noticing the absence of expected signs, like a light, suggesting the person's departure
I say, I thought you would be home
Expressing surprise and disappointment at the person's absence
You said you never would be gone
Recalling the person's assurance that they would not be gone
But you are
Acknowledging the reality of the person's absence
You are
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the person's absence
Feeling overwhelmed, I take a dive
Feeling overwhelmed and resorting to escaping or hiding
To a once overfilled but now empty place to hide
Describing a place that was once full but is now empty, possibly reflecting emotional emptiness
The day you turned on me is the day I died
Pointing to a specific event (the day the person turned on the speaker), suggesting betrayal or disappointment
And I've forgotten what it's like
Expressing forgetfulness about positive experiences and emotions
And how it feels to be alive
Reflecting on the loss of the feeling of being alive
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor
Repetition of the observation of scattered clothes and the expectation of the person being home
I say, I thought you would be home
Reiteration of surprise and disappointment at the person's absence
You said you never would be gone
Recalling the person's promise or commitment not to be gone
Every time I see the light not burning on the porch
Observing the absence of expected signs, like a burning light, indicating the person's departure
I say, I thought you would be home
Expressing surprise and disappointment at the person's absence
You said you never would be gone
Recalling the person's assurance that they would not be gone
Reach up to the sky
Metaphorically reaching for a solution or relief when facing difficulties
When nothing seems to go right
Seeking solace or direction when things seem to go wrong
When nothing seems to go right for me
Expressing personal struggles or challenges
Every time I see your clothes scattered out on the floor
Repetition of the observation of scattered clothes and the expectation of the person being home
I say, I thought you would be home
Reiteration of surprise and disappointment at the person's absence
You said you never would be gone
Recalling the person's promise or commitment not to be gone
Every time I see the light not burning on the porch
Observing the absence of expected signs, like a burning light, indicating the person's departure
I say, I thought you would be home
Expressing surprise and disappointment at the person's absence
You never would be gone
Asserting that the person should not be gone based on previous assurances
I thought you would be home (I thought you would be home)
Repetition of the expectation that the person would be home
You said you never would be gone
Recalling the person's promise or commitment not to be gone
But you are
Acknowledging the reality of the person's absence
