Lyrics
I'm not saying that i felt like you cared
Expressing doubt about the perception of care.
I'm not saying that i want to go back
Not expressing a desire to return to the past.
The salty seas behind the eye
Metaphor for emotional depth or hidden feelings.
And it's the tears that come and make me cry
Highlighting the emotional impact of tears.
The falling leaf that never tries
Symbolic of a passive or resigned approach to life.
To hold on to what keeps it alive
Expressing the difficulty of holding onto vital elements.
I was so green nothing could touch me
Describing a past state of innocence or naivety.
I'm not saying that this is good or bad
Ambiguous statement on the neutrality of the situation.
I'm not saying that I want to go
Leaving the possibility of departure open.
The salty seas behind the eye
Reiteration of emotional depth and hidden feelings.
And it's the tears that come and make me cry
Re-emphasizing the impact of tears on emotions.
The falling leaf that never tries
Repeating the metaphor of a passive approach to life.
To hold on to what keeps it alive
Reiterating the challenge of maintaining vitality.
The summer dream behind the eye
Symbolizing a positive or hopeful aspect of the past.
And it's the sleep that makes me alive
Connecting sleep with a sense of being alive.
The sudden ease when you arrive
Describing a feeling of ease upon someone's arrival.
And it's you that makes me try
Attributing motivation to try to the presence of someone.
