Lyrics
So far from your gaze I have stayed
Expressing distance or separation from someone's attention or focus
Holding too long onto something I
Clung onto something for too extended a period
Thought I could just stand to gain
Believed there would be benefits to gain from patience and moral excellence
From patience and virtue but every time
Despite choosing a longer route or a more difficult path
From taking the long way round
Every time I've chosen a more challenging path or approach
I've fallen down again
Experienced failure or setbacks again
But something in my mind said that I would find a friend
Felt an intuition or inner voice promising the discovery of a companion
Even when I don't think I can stand it anymore
Even in moments of extreme difficulty or discomfort
Even when I don't hold you like I did before
Even when physical affection isn’t as it was previously
Even when you think yelling and screaming won't do it
Despite the belief that shouting and arguing won’t solve problems
You choose to stay here and get through it
Opting to stay and confront challenges together
And don't get the wrong idea
Clarifying a misunderstanding or misconception
Baby you
Addressing a significant other
Baby you know
Affirming the partner's understanding
Yeah you know nobody's leaving
Assurance that nobody is departing or leaving
And I pray that I'll still be here
Hoping to remain present or exist when expressing gratitude
When we say you that don't know how much you mean to me
Expressing uncertainty about being fully understood
And you know my life's for you
Stating that one's life is dedicated to the partner
And you're trusting yours to me
Confidence in the partner's reliance or trust
I can see the flowers growing
Perception of positive growth or development despite uncertainties
No matter where we're going
Confidence in the progression regardless of the destination
It don't matter
Reiterating that something is not important
It don't matter
Repetition emphasizing insignificance
It don't matter
Continued emphasis on the lack of significance
It don't matter
Reinforcing the unimportance of something
It don't even matter
Reasserting the negligible importance
It doesn't even matter, babe
Reinforcing the insignificance, especially to a loved one
What I need now
Expressing a desire for a brighter future moment
Is another brighter day
A need for positivity or optimism in the present
I can hear the sound
Noticing audible indications of change or challenge
I can hear the waves around crashing and falling they're calling for you and I baby
Metaphorically describing the tumultuous nature of their relationship
I don't care what we been going through lately
Disregard for recent difficulties or challenges
I don't care who knows cuz you drive me crazy
Unconcerned about public awareness of their intense feelings
You got me whirling and spinning and twirling I'm dizzy
Being overwhelmed or dizzy due to emotional intensity
And I don't, I don't care
Emphasizing a lack of concern for something
Yeah you know nobody's leaving
Assurance that nobody is leaving or departing
And I pray that I'll still be here
Hoping to endure or remain during a significant expression of affection
When we say that you don't know how much you mean to me
Reiterating uncertainty about complete understanding
And you know my life's for you
Stating dedication of one's life to the partner
And you're trusting yours to me
Expressing trust or reliance from the partner
I can see the flowers growing
Observation of positive growth despite uncertainty
No matter where we're going
Confidence in progression regardless of the final outcome
So far from your gaze I have stayed
Expressing distance or separation from someone's attention or focus
Holding too long onto something I
Clung onto something for too extended a period
Thought I could just stand to gain
Believed there would be benefits to gain from patience and moral excellence
From patience and virtue and every time...
Resulting in repeated failure or setbacks
