Lyrics

I have such a envy for this stranger lying next to me

The speaker feels intense jealousy for a stranger lying beside them.

Who awakes in the night and slips out into the pre-dawn light

The stranger wakes up at night and leaves quietly before dawn.

With no words, a clean escape, no promises or messes made

The departure is without any spoken words, leaving no commitments or complications.

And chalks it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake

The stranger attributes the situation to a series of mistakes.


And there are no tears

The speaker emphasizes the absence of tears in this emotional situation.

Just pity and fear

Emotions are characterized by pity and fear rather than sadness.

No vast ravine

There is no significant emotional gap between the speaker and the stranger.

Right in between

Describes a lack of separation or division.


A storm at sea the bow cracked and I was capsizing

The speaker went through a metaphorical storm at sea, experiencing a crisis.

And I sunk below where I swore I would never go

The speaker ended up in a place they vowed never to be, indicating a personal low point.

If you can't stand in place you can't tell there's walking away

If one can't stay in one place, it's challenging to perceive the act of walking away.

From who remains, who stays, who stays, who stays

Reflects on those who remain and those who choose to leave.


And there are no tears

Reiterates the absence of tears, highlighting the dominance of pity and fear.

Just pity and fear

Continues to emphasize the emotional landscape of pity and fear.

No vast ravine

Right in between

Spare no tears

Repeats the absence of tears and underscores the prevalence of pity and fear.

Just pity and fear

Reiterates the dominant emotions of pity and fear in the absence of tears.

And I recall

The speaker recalls the push more than the fall, suggesting the significance of the initial action.

The push more than the fall

The push more than the fall

Reiterates the significance of the initial push or action in comparison to the subsequent fall.
