Lyrics
Well, I can understand, to a certain extent
Acknowledging understanding up to a certain extent of camaraderie and mass appeal.
The camaraderie and mass appeal
Recognizing controlled emotions and personal growth in the other person.
But the feelings you hold, you've got 'em under control
Realization of the emotional control and personal development in the individual.
Makes me realize how much you have grown
Reflection on the significant personal growth of the person.
I can understand what you meant
Understanding the meaning expressed by the person.
Very few could even deal
Acknowledgment that only a few can cope with such a bold task.
With a task so bold, the bravery you've shown
Recognition of bravery displayed and acknowledgment of independence.
Makes me realize you're on your own
Realization that the person is standing alone in their journey.
That you're on your own
Reiteration of the individual's self-reliance.
But I can lie, I can lie, if it makes you feel better
Expression of willingness to lie for the other person's comfort.
I can lie, I can lie, if it gives you pleasure
Reiteration of the willingness to lie for the other person's pleasure.
You'll be fine, you'll be fine, if we do it together
Assurance that things will be fine if they face challenges together.
But I can lie, I can lie, if it makes you feel better
Repetition of the willingness to lie for the other person's comfort.
Please know I'll be here when you return
Commitment to be there for the person upon their return.
Well, I can understand, to a certain extent
Acknowledgment of understanding the person's situation and emotions.
What you're going through and how you feel
Understanding the person's experiences through stories and pictures.
But the stories you've told and the pictures you've shown
Realization that the person is navigating their journey independently.
Make me realize you're on your own
Acknowledgment of the person's self-reliance.
That you're on your own
Reiteration of the individual's independence.
Well, I can lie, I can lie, if it makes you feel better
Expressing a willingness to lie for the other person's comfort.
I can lie, I can lie, if it gives you pleasure
Reiteration of the willingness to lie for the other person's pleasure.
You'll be fine, you'll be fine, if we do it together
Assurance that facing challenges together will lead to a positive outcome.
But I can lie, I can lie, if it makes you feel better
Repetition of the willingness to lie for the other person's comfort.
Please know I'll be here when you return
Commitment to be there for the person upon their return.
Please know I'll be here when you return
Reiteration of the commitment to be there upon the person's return.
Upon returning nothing makes sense
Upon returning, a sense of confusion and disorientation is experienced.
It's more foreign than the place you just left
The new environment feels more unfamiliar than the one just left.
Everyone's living, everyone's working, everything's so deceiving
Observation that life and work are ongoing, but appearances can be deceptive.
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Repetition of "sometimes" emphasizing the unpredictability of life.
Well, I can lie, I can lie, if it makes you feel better
Expressing a willingness to lie for the other person's comfort.
I can lie, I can lie, if it gives you pleasure
Reiteration of the willingness to lie for the other person's pleasure.
(Give me pleasure, give me pleasure)
Expression of a desire to provide pleasure.
You'll be fine, you'll be fine, if we do it together
Assurance that facing challenges together will lead to a positive outcome.
But I can lie, I can lie, if it makes you feel better
Repetition of the willingness to lie for the other person's comfort.
Please know I'll be here when you return
Commitment to be there for the person upon their return.
When you return
Reiteration of the commitment to be there upon the person's return.
