Lyrics

Here I sit, removing a splinter

Engaged in the act of removing a small, sharp fragment or splinter from the skin or body

I sit, I'm healing my skin

Continuing the process of tending to and recovering from wounds or injuries on the skin

I can see you row in the distance

Observing someone rowing in a distant place or direction

And I've been tying a swing

Engaged in the act of making and securing a swing


Here I sit, removing a splinter

Reiterating the action of removing a splinter from the skin

I sit, I'm healing my skin

Continuing the process of healing the skin

I can see you row to the sun

Witnessing someone rowing towards the direction of the sun

And I've been tying a swing

Engaged in the act of securing or fastening a swing


And I wonder, where have you been?

Expressing curiosity or contemplation about the whereabouts of another person

And I wonder, where have you been?

Reiterating the sentiment of wondering about the absence or location of someone


Ruins of Portraits, all I'm seeing

Viewing the remains or representations of people in paintings or images

Trying to run from all the grief

Attempting to escape or evade the emotional pain and sorrow

But you, you know all my ways

Acknowledging that someone else is familiar with all of one's behaviors or habits

And I've been tying a swing

Continuing the action of securing or fastening a swing


Ruins of Portraits, all I'm seeing

Reiterating the observation of remnants or depictions of people in artworks

Trying to run from all the grief

Trying to avoid or escape from all the emotional pain and suffering

I can see you row to the sun

Observing someone rowing towards the sun

And I've tying a swing

Engaged in the act of securing or fastening a swing


'cause I wonder where have you been?

Expressing curiosity or contemplation about the whereabouts of another person

And I wonder, where have you been?

Reiterating the sentiment of wondering about the absence or location of someone
