Lyrics
Hold onto me
Request to hold onto the speaker
Of all the things that I could say
The speaker ponders various things they could express
Hold onto me
Repeated request to hold onto the speaker
Remember me
Asking to be remembered
When I let you drift away
Recalling a time when the speaker allowed distance to form between them
Will you remember me?
Inquiring if the other person will retain memories of the speaker
A breath apart
Describing closeness yet emotional separation
We loved so hard with heavy hearts
Expressing intense love with burdened emotions
I thought I knew you well
The speaker believed they understood the other person
I thought I did
Realizing they might not have truly known the person
We're strangers in the dark
Both individuals are unfamiliar with each other in difficult times
Strangers in the dark
Reiteration of being strangers in the darkness, feeling disconnected
Strangers in the dark
-Strangers in the dark
-Tryna find a light
Attempting to discover the true nature of the other person
To show us who you are
Continuation of feeling like strangers, seeking understanding
We're strangers in the dark
Reiterating the feeling of being unfamiliar with each other
Hold onto me
Requesting continued connection despite past decisions
And all the choices that we made
Reflection on the choices made by both parties
Hold onto me
Repetition of the plea to hold onto the speaker
A breath apart
Similar to line 8, signifying closeness but emotional distance
We loved so hard with heavy hearts
Expressing intense love with heavy emotional burdens (repeated from line 9)
I thought I knew you well
Reiteration of thinking they understood the other person
I thought I did
Reaffirming the potential misconception of knowing the person
We're strangers in the dark
Reiterating the theme of being strangers in difficult circumstances
Strangers in the dark
Reiteration of feeling like strangers in darkness, seeking clarity
Strangers in the dark
-Strangers in the dark
-Tryna find a light
-To show us who you are
-We're strangers in the dark
Re-emphasizing the feeling of being unfamiliar with each other
