Lyrics
You say you‘re there
You claim to be present
But you‘re never really there now
But you're emotionally distant
Got too much on your mind
Feeling overwhelmed with thoughts
I see it on your face
Emotions are visible on your face
Circles round your eyes
Signs of fatigue or stress around the eyes
They‘re getting bigger
Stress or burdens are intensifying
Feeling like a hard disk
Feeling like mental capacity is reaching its limit
Running out of space
Feeling mentally crowded or overwhelmed
I think you‘re scared of the future
Fearful or anxious about what's ahead
There‘s only so much you can do
Limitation in controlling outcomes
And even if you try to hide it
Attempting to conceal worries
Sometimes it catches up with you
Occasionally, worries catch up despite efforts to hide them
I hope you feel safe with me
Desire for the partner to feel secure
Cause baby I feel safe with you
Expressing a sense of security with the partner
I say I am here
Claiming presence but being distracted
But I am looking out the window
Physically present but mentally elsewhere
I know you‘re there
Recognizing the partner's presence through observations
Cause I catch it all the time
Noticing the partner's actions or behavior
Walking out the house
Stepping into the environment
Step into the frame
Entering into the situation
I see it all around you
Observing the circumstances around the partner
See it all the same
Perceiving things similarly
I think I am scared of the future
Personal fear of what lies ahead
There is only so much you can do
Limitation in controlling future outcomes
And even if I try to hide it
Struggling to hide personal worries
It always catches up with you
Personal fears eventually surface despite efforts
I hope you feel safe with me
Desire for the partner's sense of security
Cause baby I feel safe with you
Feeling secure with the partner
Life‘s short, yeah,
Emphasis on life's brevity
You should make the best of it
Encouragement to make the most of life
Life‘s short, yeah,
Reiteration on life's shortness
You should make the best of it
Encouragement to seize life's opportunities
I think you‘re scared of the future
Similar fear of future events
There‘s only so much you can do
Limitation in controlling the future
And even if you try to hide it
Attempts to conceal personal fears about the future
Sometimes it catches up with you
Occasional surfacing of personal fears despite efforts to hide them
I hope you feel safe with me
Desire for the partner's sense of security
Cause baby I feel safe with you
Feeling secure with the partner
I hope you feel safe with me
Reiteration of desiring partner's security
Cause baby I feel safe with you
Feeling secure with the partner
