Lyrics
The days and the hours they pass
The passage of time is evident in the days and hours.
Like cars on the street, moving fast, they almost hit me
Time moves swiftly like cars on the street, creating a sense of urgency or danger.
And when I see you the stories I tell
When encountering you, the narrator crafts stories about their successful music career.
Of how my music is going so well
The narrated stories of musical success appear uninteresting and lacking substance.
Always seem so dull and empty
The stories always seem unimpressive and devoid of significance.
I see you pop-up on my screen
Your presence appears on the narrator's screen, suggesting a digital interaction.
You and your life seem to be so full of wonder
You and your life seem fascinating and wonderful to the narrator.
But in the back of my head I still dream
Despite the admiration, there's a lingering dream in the narrator's mind.
About how different my life would be
The narrator imagines how different their life could be if not for a perceived betrayal.
If you hadn't thrown me under
Feelings of being discarded or betrayed by you haunt the narrator.
But am I better off
Reflecting on whether the narrator is in a better state now.
Or was I never good enough
Questioning if the narrator was never good enough.
I never see you when you come to town
The narrator doesn't see you when you visit their town.
It's like you're afraid to come around the ones you've hurt here
You seem hesitant to face those you've harmed in the narrator's community.
But if you did come and lay in my bed
If you were to visit and share the narrator's bed, it wouldn't live up to their idealized expectations.
It wouldn't match the idea in my head I've built up I fear
Fear of disappointment in reality contrasts with the idealized image in the narrator's mind.
But am I better off
Reflecting again on whether the narrator is better off now.
Or was I never good enough
Raising the question of whether the narrator was never good enough.
You can't leave a man all alone
An assertion that one cannot abandon a person completely.
If you don't leave behind his soul
Leaving behind a person's soul is emphasized as crucial when departing.
You can't leave a man all alone
Reiteration of the idea that one cannot leave a person completely isolated.
If you don't leave behind his soul
Reemphasizing the importance of leaving behind a person's soul when departing.
Because alone, this world can take its toll
Being alone in this world can have a negative impact and is challenging.
