Lyrics
Still a long way before we come back
Expressing the anticipation of a long journey before returning.
Still a lot left before I’m on track
Acknowledging that there is still much to achieve before getting back on track.
I’m waiting for the day it goes bad
Anticipating a challenging or unfavorable event in the future.
It’ll come for me, today
Expecting a difficult situation to arrive today.
Called a bad guy even doin’ my best
Describing being labeled negatively despite putting in one's best effort.
Called a loose cannon no matter what’s said
Being perceived as unpredictable regardless of what is said.
But things will dry out when you least expect
Expressing hope that things will improve unexpectedly.
Is this here to stay?
Questioning whether the current situation is permanent.
If there’s no rain
Pondering the absence of difficulties or challenges.
For an hour
Reflecting on the absence of rain for varying durations (hour, day, year).
For a day
-For a year
-Am I in pain?
Questioning personal emotional distress.
Can’t you hear?
Appealing to be heard during a challenging time.
Hear me suffer
Expressing suffering that may not be apparent to others.
Oh my dear
Addressing someone dear while in distress.
Never had faith in letting it slide
Admitting a lack of faith in letting things go smoothly.
Don’t think I’m used to feeling so right
Feeling unfamiliar with the experience of things going well.
Will it get worse the harder I try?
Questioning if efforts will lead to worsening conditions.
Now it’s done, and it’s dry, and I’ll leave behind
Acknowledging the completion of something, leaving behind a dry state.
No rain
Reiterating the desire for an absence of challenges (no rain) for varying durations.
For an hour
-For a day
-For a year
-Am I in pain?
Expressing emotional pain and the plea to be heard and understood.
Can’t you hear
-Hear me suffer
-Oh my dear
-Then we’d talk
Describing a prolonged conversation, possibly reflecting on time spent.
For an hour
-Of the day
-Maybe more
-On the phone
Describing time spent on the phone, possibly wasted, without fear.
Wasting days
-Maybe years
-There’s no fear
-When I dream about those nights with you and how it all felt right
Recalling positive memories and emotions associated with nights spent together.
I only seem to think about the good no matter how I try
Acknowledging a tendency to focus on the positive despite efforts to think otherwise.
All this deja vu is giving me these visions of grandeur
Experiencing a sense of familiarity and grand visions, possibly from past experiences.
And now these warning signs are getting way too easy to ignore
Noticing warning signs but finding them easy to ignore.
