Down the Line
Paper Thin Love: Unraveling the Emotions in Gabrielle Current's 'Down the Line'
Lyrics
You tell me that you love me but it’s paper thin
You express love, but it feels insincere and fragile.
How am I supposed to believe you darling
Questioning how trust is possible given the uncertainty.
You miss it when she held you but you knew it won’t last
You reminisce about a past love that was destined to end.
Seems like when I’m with you time moves too fast
Time feels fleeting when in your presence.
She holds you blind
Referring to someone else who has a hold on you.
You know your time
Aware of the limited time available.
Won’t justify somebody else’s wrong
Refusing to justify someone else's wrongdoing.
Made my mind for real this time
Firm decision to be content alone.
I’m satisfied with being on my own
Expressing satisfaction with solitude.
Oh it’s just been too much time
Feeling that too much time has passed.
To come and go down the line
Contemplating the ups and downs of the journey.
Held it together till ya fell apart
Maintained composure until a breakdown occurred.
Sooner or later it won’t be so hard
Believing that future challenges will be easier.
He says that he’s moving on
Someone claims to be moving forward.
Another line that I wrote off
Dismissing a statement as unconvincing.
But just cause you say it doesn’t make it real
Highlighting that words alone don't make something real.
Make it real for me
Desiring authenticity in actions, not just words.
Maybe I’ll just hide all my thoughts from you
Considering hiding thoughts to allow space.
Just to give you time
Giving someone time by concealing personal thoughts.
Just to lay it down slowly
Taking it slow and expressing finality.
I’m done with living through your mistakes again
No longer willing to endure the consequences of another's mistakes.
Ive had my share of this thing that you call living
Having experienced enough of what is considered 'living.'
She holds you blind
Reiteration of someone else's influence.
You know your time
Acknowledging the limited time available.
Won’t justify somebody else’s wrong
Refusing to justify the wrongdoing of others.
Made my mind for real this time
Firm decision to be content alone (repeated).
I’m satisfied with being on my own
Expressing satisfaction with solitude (repeated).
Oh it’s just been too much time
Feeling that too much time has passed (repeated).
To come and go down the line
Contemplating the ups and downs of the journey (repeated).
Held it together till ya fell apart
Maintained composure until a breakdown occurred (repeated).
Sooner or later it won’t be so hard
Believing that future challenges will be easier (repeated).
He says that he’s moving on
Someone claims to be moving forward (repeated).
Another line that I wrote off
Dismissing a statement as unconvincing (repeated).
But just cause you say it doesn’t make it real
Highlighting that words alone don't make something real (repeated).
Make it real for me
Desiring authenticity in actions, not just words (repeated).
