Lyrics
Well I don't know how
Expressing uncertainty or lack of knowledge about how to proceed.
I'm gonna say the words I gotta say
Committing to speak the necessary words despite challenges.
But they're bringing me down
Feeling burdened or weighed down by the words to be spoken.
Am I on your mind
Questioning if the speaker is occupying the listener's thoughts.
And will the words that I say
Wondering if the spoken words will endure or be forgotten.
Become frozen in time
Reflecting on the permanence of words frozen in time.
Or just trickle away
Considering whether words will have a lasting impact or fade away.
Drip drip drop
Imagery of dripping water, suggesting the passage of time.
And if life imitates art
Contemplating the relationship between life and artistic expression.
Then why from my heart
Raising a question about the sincerity of emotions.
May these words be hatched
Expressing a desire for words to be born but not take flight.
But never learn to fly
Metaphorically referring to the restraint of emotions.
Well you know my name
Asserting the speaker's identity.
Is an anagram for romance
Playing with the idea of the speaker's name being a romantic anagram.
I take your heart with me wherever I go
Declaring a deep connection with someone, carrying their heart always.
It's a lonesome life but I'm not alone
Acknowledging the solitude in life but asserting independence.
You see, I've got these friends
Listing companions as dogs, bands, and an icicle.
The dogs and the bands
Highlighting the speaker's unique set of friends.
And the icicle outside my bedroom window
Describing a prominent icicle outside the speaker's window.
Well I've been searching for poetry
Expressing a quest for artistic expression in the icicle's form.
In the icicle outside my window
Acknowledging the natural beauty and inspiration in the icicle.
But the sun wrote it for me
Attributing the creation of poetry to the sun.
'Cause now it's gone
Reflecting on the transient nature of the poetic inspiration.
And wouldn't you know it
Expressing surprise or irony about seeking meaning in a lost cause.
I'm only aching for meaning in something I already lost
Yearning for significance in something already gone.
As nature runs its course
Reflecting on the inevitability of natural processes.
Of course
Reiterating the certainty of nature's course.
Well you know my name
Repeating the assertion about the romantic nature of the speaker's name.
Is an anagram for romance
Playing with the idea of an anagram for romance.
I take our hearts with me wherever I go
Declaring the shared nature of hearts in the speaker's journey.
It's a lonesome life but I'm not alone
Acknowledging loneliness but emphasizing the presence of friends.
You see, I've got these friends
Reiterating the unique companionship with dogs, bands, and the sun.
The dogs and the bands
Repeating the list of distinctive friends.
And the sun shining in through my window
Noting the comforting presence of the sun shining through the window.
