Verse 1
Opening of the song, expressing a state of insomnia.
I can't sleep now
Feeling restless, unable to sleep.
Coast is clear I've known
Feeling secure and confident now.
Sold all of my time
Lost all available time, possibly invested in something.
Bite my tongue to hold denial
Suppressing emotions, holding back from admitting the truth.

Wanna try to feel this but I'm not so sure
Expressing uncertainty about experiencing a particular feeling.
Staring at the ceiling on our bedroom floor
Contemplating on a bed, looking upwards.
Chorus
Shift to the chorus section.
Why does it feel like this
Pondering why the current situation feels a certain way.
Just take it back to the start
Expressing a desire to return to the beginning.
When you were on my lips
Recalling a past moment when the person was intimately close.
When it was all desire
Reflecting on a time of intense longing and passion.

Indicating a significant amount of tears shed.
Pre Chorus
Return to the pre-chorus with a desire to salvage the situation.
Wanna try to save this but you're not so sure

Baby I wonder
Expressing uncertainty about the current state of the relationship.
Are we going under
Pondering if the relationship is deteriorating.

Expressing a desire to communicate but facing silence.
So it just feels like this

So it just feels like

Maybe this was all pretend

Without you I'm incomplete

But am I everything you need

We were soul tied, now we're so tired
Reflecting on a past strong connection that has now become exhausting.
