Lyrics
How much do I still sound the same
Reflecting on personal growth and whether one's voice or identity has remained consistent.
What're you after tell me after set me up for maybes
Questioning the motives of someone, possibly a partner, and expressing uncertainty about their intentions.
Stop start again how many times
Contemplating the repetition of starting and stopping in a relationship.
Can we write our chapter one and are the efforts breaking
Asking if they can create the beginning of their story and if their efforts are causing any damage.
Into daggers that we carry into the next try
Suggesting that past conflicts are carried into new attempts, comparing them to daggers.
The truth is sharper than any point that makes us sorry
Acknowledging that honesty can be more cutting than anything else, leading to regret.
We'll write the best parts into our story
Deciding to focus on the positive aspects and incorporate the best parts into their shared narrative.
I like our story better this way
Expressing a preference for the current state of their relationship or story.
I like our high notes and even the endings
Appreciating both the joyful moments and the challenging conclusions in their story.
It's why our story started over
Highlighting that their story has had a restart or a new beginning.
It's where your eyes are and head on my shoulder
Emphasizing the importance of where the partner's attention is focused and the intimacy shared.
All at once the hope we put to rest
Mentioning the simultaneous revival of hope that was previously abandoned.
Still like our story the best
Reaffirming the enduring preference for their shared story despite challenges.
That shirt of mine you're sleeping in
Noting the significance of an item, a shirt, indicating intimacy and comfort.
Tells me more than what you gave me
Stating that actions and personal items can convey more than explicit communication.
I don't need an answer
Expressing independence and stating a lack of need for a response.
I'm through with you
Suggesting a detachment or breakup, countered by a realization that it might not be entirely true.
It's not really true
Recognizing that the previous statement might be a facade, and the connection is still desired.
But even if I play it cool you know you're all I'm after
Admitting that despite acting cool, the person is still pursuing the other.
Empty food courts
Describing a setting, possibly mundane or lacking significance.
Whisper kisses
Depicting a moment of shared intimacy through whispered kisses.
We're starting over
Announcing a fresh start in the relationship.
And I'm here to listen 'cause
Expressing openness to communication and listening in the renewed connection.
I like our story better this way
Reiterating a preference for the current state of the relationship or story.
I like our high notes and even the endings
Enjoying both the positive and challenging aspects of their shared experiences.
It's why our story started over
Reinforcing the idea that their story has undergone a restart or reset.
It's where your eyes are and head on my shoulder
Emphasizing the significance of shared gaze and physical closeness.
All at once the hope we put to rest
Recalling the simultaneous renewal of hope that was previously laid to rest.
Still like our story the best
Reaffirming the enduring preference for their shared story despite challenges.
Slipping away from you
Indicating a gradual separation or emotional distance.
I know I couldn't
Acknowledging the difficulty in letting go despite the awareness of impossibility.
But save my mind
Desiring to preserve one's sanity or mental well-being.
One more chance to write an end to this circle
Expressing a wish for an opportunity to conclude or break free from a repeating cycle.
Oh I like our story better this way
Reiterating a preference for the current state of the relationship or story.
I like our high notes and even the endings
Enjoying both the positive and challenging aspects of their shared experiences.
It's why our story started over
Reinforcing the idea that their story has undergone a restart or reset.
It's where your eyes are and head on my shoulder
Emphasizing the significance of shared gaze and physical closeness.
All at once the hope we put to rest
Recalling the simultaneous renewal of hope that was previously laid to rest.
Still like our story the best
Reaffirming the enduring preference for their shared story despite challenges.
