Lyrics
An oath of redamancy that only went one way
An unreciprocated declaration of love that was one-sided
A potent oxymoron that never overstayed
A powerful contradiction that didn't last too long
Meeting eyes was never easy, but I tried just for you
Attempting to make eye contact was challenging, but I made the effort for you
Now she's out with the others and I stare at my shoes
Now she's spending time with others, and I'm left alone, feeling dejected
Sometimes it helps to look for something just to break the bind
Occasionally searching for something to break the emotional connection
Hair sprawled across the mantle, our bodies intertwined
Visual imagery of intimate moments, our bodies intertwined
Then change, uninvited, dries up the creek
Sudden change disrupted the usual flow of things
Like a rock thrown through my window
A disruption akin to an unexpected event like a rock thrown through a window
Or a pipe that's sprung a leak
Comparing the change to a sudden problem, like a pipe leak
I couldn't tell you what I'd heard before
Uncertain about what to say because you were already aware of my troubles
Cause you already knew my woes had washed ashore
Expressing the feeling that your problems were already known
And you'd just tell me what you saw when you were there
You would recount your experiences without considering my perspective
Deserts full of trees and tables without chairs
Imagery of paradoxical or impossible situations
You went out for a few and quietly I stayed
You went out while I stayed behind, observing quietly
The sun hit your face, in a brand new way
An observation of a change in your demeanor in a novel way
I saw the walls break down, tossed and turned, thrown around
Witnessing emotional barriers collapsing or breaking down
There kindling was a storm, fated to confound
A metaphorical storm brewing, destined to confuse or disturb
I didn't tell you what I'd heard before
A repetition of uncertainty about what to say because you were already aware of my troubles
Cause you already knew my woes had washed ashore
Reiteration of the feeling that your problems were already known
And you'd just told me what you'd seen when you were there
You recounted your experiences without considering my perspective
A forest of guarantees filled with strands of your hair
Imagery of a place filled with promises or assurances, intertwined with memories of the person
