Lyrics
You were born
You came into existence
In the mountains
Symbolically placed in a challenging or elevated environment
Where we would drive
Referencing shared experiences or journeys
You and I were so
Emphasizing a historical distance between the speaker and the listener
Far apart back then
Highlighting emotional or physical distance in the past
Now we see eye to eye
Expressing a current state of understanding or agreement
You were the one
Referring to the listener as a significant person
My broken gun
Metaphorically describing the listener as a weapon that caused emotional harm
You killed me when you changed your mind
Expressing the emotional impact of a change in the listener's feelings
You were the one
Describing the listener as the one who experienced a breakdown
Who came undone
Referring to a critical moment when the listener saved the speaker
When you took the shot that saved my life
Highlighting the listener's role in a life-saving act
Further down the river
Symbolizing a journey or progression in time
The river of your lies
Mentioning a deceptive or untruthful aspect of the listener's character
Better float out with the tides
Advising to leave or detach from falsehoods before it's too late
Before we die
Reflecting on mortality and the urgency to resolve issues
You ran ashore before my love
Describing the listener's emotional breakdown before the speaker's love
You fell apart before my love
Emphasizing the listener's emotional vulnerability before the speaker's love
You were my favorite mistake
Labeling the listener as a significant error or regret
I will be your
Offering continued support despite emotional wounds
Broken gun
Comparing the speaker to a broken gun, willing to support despite flaws
Even though I'll never be the one you want
Acknowledging unreciprocated feelings but still offering support
I was the one
Stating the speaker's emotional breakdown in the past
Who came undone
Describing the speaker's failed attempt to be a positive presence in the listener's life
All I ever tried to be was in your life
Expressing the speaker's intentions to be a meaningful part of the listener's life
