Lyrics

Ohh ohh ohhh

Repetitive melodic vocalization conveying emotion and anticipation.

Ohh ohh ohhh

Continuation of melodic vocalization, emphasizing emotion and anticipation.

Ohh ohh ohhh

Continued melodic vocalization, reinforcing emotional anticipation.


If these walls could talk

Expresses a desire for inanimate objects (walls) to communicate.

I'd defer to the furniture

Preference for the furniture to narrate or explain instead of the walls.

The piano, the table, the bed that we both sleep in

Items like the piano, table, and bed symbolize shared experiences, witnesses to the relationship.

These constant, silent messengers

These objects silently carry and convey the history of the relationship.


'Cause there's a story that's recorded in each fingerprint

Suggests each fingerprint tells a story or holds a history.

That these disregarded artifacts collect

Emphasizes the significance of seemingly insignificant objects in preserving memories.

And if we boil down these documented memories

Hints at extracting memories from these artifacts.

I have a feeling you should know what to expect

Anticipation of understanding or predicting outcomes based on documented memories.


You were right on time

Acknowledges someone's punctuality and precise timing.

And out of nowhere

Highlights the sudden and unexpected nature of their arrival.

Right on time

Reiteration of someone's timely arrival.


Ohh ohh ohhh

Reiteration of melodic vocalization, emphasizing anticipation.

And if they don't talk

If the inanimate objects don’t speak, the narrator will explore other methods of understanding.

I'll investigate a formula

Refers to using mathematical or analytical means to comprehend their relationship.

Figures, equations, the details of our union

Symbolic mention of the intricate and complex aspects of their bond.

The edges of the nebula

Alludes to the vastness and mystery of their connection.


At the end of such a long and worthy sacrifice

Reflects on the culmination of a significant effort or commitment.

All that's left is to submit my full report

Implying completion and the need to present findings or conclusions.

I'll have turned all of my hunches into certainties

Transformation of assumptions into verified truths.

And I will confirm what I already knew before

Confirms prior intuitions or suspicions.


That you were right on time

Reaffirms the punctuality and precise timing of someone's arrival.

And out of nowhere

Emphasizes the sudden and unexpected nature of their presence.

Right on time

Reiteration of someone's timely arrival.


Ohh ohh ohhh

Continued melodic vocalization, reinforcing emotional anticipation.


And as I stumble through the streets back from the alleyways

Describes a challenging return from a difficult situation or experience.

And everyone can see I'm bleeding through my shirt

Illustrates visible signs of distress or hardship.

And after describing all the shooter's details carefully,

Detailing an event where the narrator was a victim of an incident or attack.

And I start to realize just how badly I've been hurt

Realization of the extent of personal injury or damage.


You were right on time

Reaffirms someone's punctuality and precise timing despite personal struggles.

And out of nowhere

Underlines the sudden and unexpected nature of their appearance despite difficulties.

You were right on time

Reiteration of someone's timely arrival despite adverse circumstances.


Right on time

Reaffirms the punctuality and precise timing of someone's arrival.

And out of nowhere

Highlights the sudden and unexpected nature of their presence.

Right on time

Reiteration of someone's timely arrival.
