The Adventurer
The Adventurer's Departure: A Heart's Odyssey
Lyrics
Open my eyes and hope it was all a bad dream
Expressing a desire for a bad situation to be a dream upon waking up.
Taking a break to travel the world without me
Acknowledging a break to explore the world, feeling excluded.
I can't say I blame you; I'd take the opportunity myself
Understanding the temptation to seize opportunities, empathizing with the choice.
I'm afraid if you go, you'll turn into somebody else
Concern about a loved one changing after leaving.
Come back home
Requesting the person to return home.
This city's not the same without you
Expressing the impact of the person's absence on the city.
Come back home
Reiterating the plea to come back home.
The nights are so cold without someone to hold onto
Highlighting the emotional coldness experienced without the person's companionship.
Now you're gone, so far away
Expressing the physical and emotional distance caused by the person's absence.
Come back home
Repeating the call for the person to return home due to increasing longing.
I'm missing you more every day
Intensifying the sense of missing the person with each passing day.
Pick up the phone to call you but nobody's there
Attempting to contact the person but facing silence.
While you're across the ocean and I'm across the ocean
Feeling the person's presence despite the physical distance.
I still see your face everywhere
Expressing a persistent visual connection with the person.
That's where the worry kicks in
Introducing worry about the possibility of reuniting.
Will I ever see you again?
Pondering the uncertainty of seeing the person again.
Never knew 'til tonight how much of my life was wrapped up and tied to your heart
Realization of the significant impact the person has on life.
My heart is wherever you are
Affirming emotional connection, equating the heart's location with the person's presence.
When you said goodbye with a tear in your eye, I try to be strong but I'm not
Struggling with strength after an emotional goodbye.
Don't give up, keep holding on, I'm coming home
Encouraging resilience and expressing the intention to return home.
Come back to me
Directly urging the person to come back.
Stay in my life
Requesting the person to remain in the speaker's life.
I'm done pretending that I'll be alright
Rejecting pretense about emotional well-being, admitting distress.
I can't eat and I can't breathe when I think about all the things we used to be
Physical and emotional distress when reminiscing about the past.
I can't sleep alone in this bed one more night
Expressing discomfort sleeping alone without the person.
I'll take care of you
Promising care and a commitment to make things right.
I swear I'll make it right
Solemnly vowing to rectify the situation.
Everything else in my life fades away when you're gone
Highlighting the overwhelming impact of the person's absence on everything else in life.
Come back home
Reiterating the plea for the person to come back home.
