Lyrics
Another year folding
Reflecting on the passage of another year
Down into the snow
Symbolizing the passing of time with snow imagery
I've never known endings
Expressing a lack of familiarity with endings
How do they show?
Questioning how endings manifest or are evident
Our story keeps changing
Highlighting the evolving nature of their shared narrative
Each time that it's told
Indicating changes in the story each time it is recounted
I leave out the hurting
Omitting painful aspects when narrating the story
Which part do you hold?
Asking which part of the story the listener holds onto
Do you hold?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the importance of the held part
Baby, did I hear you calling?
Questioning if a distant call was real or a dream
Was it just a dream?
Wondering about the nature of the perceived call
If I meet you in another world
Contemplating meeting in a different realm
Will you see that it's me?
Asking if the person will recognize the singer in that alternate world
Only time will tell if it's meant to be
Expressing uncertainty about the future, leaving it to time
All this time will tell what you've meant to me
Acknowledging that time will reveal the significance of the relationship
Only time will tell if it's meant to be
Reiterating the uncertainty, emphasizing the role of time
All this time will tell what you've meant to me
Repeating the idea that time will unveil the relationship's meaning
And if it's devotion
Mentioning devotion as a significant aspect
My patience is pure
Stating that patience is genuine in matters of devotion
But the more I am knowing, the less I am sure
Expressing growing uncertainty despite increasing knowledge
I'm not sure
Reiterating uncertainty about the situation
Baby, did I hear you calling?
Recalling the earlier question about a distant call
Was it just a dream?
Reiterating the uncertainty about the nature of the perceived call
If I meet you in another world
Repeating the contemplation of meeting in another world
Will you see that it's me?
Reiterating the question of recognition in that alternate world
See that it's me
Emphasizing the desire for recognition in the alternate world
Only time will tell if it's meant to be
Repeating the uncertainty, leaving the future to time
All this time will tell what you've meant to me
Reiterating that time will unveil the significance of the relationship
Through the waiting, intoxicated with the memory
Expressing a state of intoxication with memories during the waiting
Only time will tell
Repeating the idea that only time will reveal the relationship's fate
If it's meant to be, if it's meant to be
Reiterating that the outcome depends on time
Only time will tell
Stating again that only time will disclose the relationship's fate
Only time will tell
Repeating the idea that only time will unveil the relationship's meaning
