Lyrics
You were protected, but you weren't connected
You were in a protected state, but there was a lack of emotional connection.
I was looking for you, but you don't come by
The speaker was searching for you, but you were not available.
I see you're crying, your tears have run dry
Observing that you're crying, but now your tears have stopped.
Well maybe one day we'll correct that
Expressing hope that someday the emotional distance can be corrected.
For one another
Expressing a desire for mutual correction and connection.
Down by The Winedale, I took you home
Recalling a moment at Winedale where the speaker took you home.
Hey we were fine till something went wrong
Reflecting on a positive time until an unspecified issue arose.
I see blindness in your eyes
Noticing a sense of blindness or lack of awareness in your eyes.
And I can see what's trailing you down tonight
Perceiving something troubling that is affecting you tonight.
So pour me a whiskey, cause I need a drink
Requesting a drink, possibly to cope with the emotional situation.
Well the later I stay, the drunker I get on faith
Linking the level of intoxication to the duration of staying and relying on faith.
Down by The Winedale, I took you home.
Reiterating a scene at Winedale where the speaker took you home.
Hey we were fine till something went wrong
Recalling a positive time until an unspecified issue arose (repeated).
I'm up in the morning around 6:45
Describing the speaker's routine of waking up early to unlock doors for patrons.
To unlock the doors for the drunks that come alive
Highlighting the arrival of inebriated individuals who come alive at that early hour.
I head to the jukebox to play The Tower of Song
Heading to the jukebox, specifically choosing "The Tower of Song."
The music starts playing but not very long
Music begins playing, but its duration is short-lived.
Down by The Winedale I took you home
Recalling a moment at Winedale where the speaker took you home (repeated).
Hey we were fine till something went wrong.
Reflecting on a positive time until an unspecified issue arose (repeated).
Well now that it's over - sure wish you could stay
Expressing a wish for you to stay even though the relationship is over.
Sure wish we could do like we'd planned from the very beginning
Expressing a desire to follow through with original plans from the beginning.
