I was walking outside
I was outdoors, walking.
When I saw the sky
Observed the sky.
Open up and swallow me whole
The sky seemed to engulf me completely.
Wind and electric light
There was wind and electric light.
A storm of hatred and might
Expressing a storm of intense emotions, particularly hatred and power.
Screaming down the hole

I was enough then

So why not now

Why not now?

Summer fading all around

You pull me in and pull me down

The record plays until it stops

What was once a pretty thing

I'll find a way to make believe

I was enough then

So why not now
Repeating the question, seeking an answer.
Why not now?

Deep in it with you
In a deep situation with someone, possibly a complex relationship.
I try to play it cool
Attempting to remain composed despite strong feelings.
But I want you to want me too

It's more of a movement than a feeling right under my skin

I'm looking out that window and I still see that sky

Open up for me

The days are getting long with all the rain

But I

So why not now
Reiterating the question about the current state of being enough, seeking understanding.
