Save Her
Rescuing Hearts: Dustin Pacleb's Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
She goes without a map, no plan
She navigates without a clear plan or direction.
You can’t seem to understand
Others struggle to comprehend her actions.
Why she walks the boulevard at 10
She walks on the boulevard late at night.
Searching for the lights with no end
She seeks elusive lights, possibly symbolizing hope or purpose.
She was a passerby down a dark path
She was someone passing through a difficult situation.
I was the type of guy who thought that he could bring her back
The narrator believed he could rescue her from her struggles.
She lost herself up on the west coast
She lost her identity on the west coast.
I gave her every part of my heart in the dark
The narrator gave her his love in challenging times.
I didn’t wanna have to face the truth
The narrator avoided facing a harsh reality.
I’m not her savior, but I wanted so bad to save her
The narrator acknowledges he can't save her but desires to do so.
She pulls you in then drifts away
She draws people in but then distances herself.
Her love is a hurricane
Her love is intense and potentially destructive like a hurricane.
Day and night she’s exchanging hearts
She constantly changes her affections.
Trying to do away with her scars
She attempts to overcome emotional wounds.
She was a runaway trying to escape
She tries to escape from something.
I was the type of guy who thought that he could keep her safe
The narrator believes he can protect her.
She lost herself up on the west coast
She loses herself on the west coast.
I gave her every part of my heart in the dark
The narrator gives his all in difficult times.
I didn’t wanna have to face the truth
Avoidance of facing the painful truth persists.
I’m not her savior, but I wanted so bad to save her
The narrator yearns to save her despite recognizing his limitations.
We spent our evenings on the cold sand
They spend time together on a chilly beach.
She pulled me closer until I became her escape
She draws the narrator closer to use him as an escape.
I didn’t wanna have to face the truth
Resistance to confronting the truth continues.
I’m not her savior, but I wanted so bad to save her
The narrator desires to save her despite knowing he can't.
I’m not her savior, but I wanted so bad to save her
Reiteration of the narrator's inability to be her savior.
I’m not her savior, no
Emphasizes the narrator's recognition of his limitations.
Then she fell away
She distances herself further.
Ran far away
She runs away, creating more distance.
I wonder if she’s ok
The narrator wonders about her well-being.
Sometimes I still pray she’s safe and sound
The narrator still hopes for her safety.
She lost herself up on the west coast
Reiteration of her losing herself on the west coast.
I gave her every part of my heart in the dark
The narrator consistently gives his heart in difficult times.
I didn’t wanna have to face the truth
The struggle to face the truth persists.
I’m not her savior, but I wanted so bad to save her
The narrator desires to save her despite the reality.
She lost herself up on the west coast
Repetition of her losing herself on the west coast.
I gave her every part of my heart in the dark
Continued commitment to giving his heart despite challenges.
I didn’t wanna have to face the truth
The difficulty of facing the truth remains.
I’m not her savior, but I wanted so bad to save her
The narrator persists in wanting to save her despite impossibility.
We spent our evenings on the cold sand
Recollection of evenings spent on the cold sand.
She pulled me closer until I became her escape
She manipulates the narrator for her own escape.
It took forever just to face the truth
The prolonged process of acknowledging the harsh reality.
I’m not her savior, but I wanted so bad to save her
Despite recognizing his limits, the narrator still wishes to save her.
I’m not her savior, but I wanted so bad to save her
Reiteration of the narrator's inability to be her savior.
I’m not her savior, but I wanted so badly to save her
Strong desire to save her despite the inherent impossibility.
