Lyrics

Hold me in your arms

Desire for closeness and intimacy

Oh in the sense of you

Being deeply connected to someone

When we're alone I'm free

Feeling liberated and unrestricted in the presence of a specific person

Until the morning comes

Temporary freedom or escape until the responsibilities of the day resume

Who are we

Questioning the identity of oneself and the partner


I felt your coldness come

Sensing emotional distance or detachment from the partner

You're insatiable me I was blind

Realizing the partner's unquenchable desires; personal blindness to this previously

I gave to you the world all my world is you

Dedication and sacrifice for the partner, making them the center of one's world


At the mirror you gently comb your hair

Observing the partner's self-care routine, a tender moment

Humming your favorite song

Engaging in simple, comforting activities, finding joy in mundane moments

You are the younger me in his arms

Seeing a younger version of oneself reflected in the partner


I felt your coldness come

Repeating the feeling of emotional distance or detachment from the partner

My own Simone too casually

Comparing oneself to Simone, possibly feeling overlooked or undervalued

Daylight trickles in on your tremulous skin

Daylight bringing attention to vulnerabilities or fragility


A moonlit tear a devil designs

Symbolism of sorrow or pain, perhaps caused by the partner's actions

You're insatiable me I was blind

Realizing one's own blindness to the partner's insatiable desires

I gave to you the world all my world is you

Reiterating complete devotion and sacrifice for the partner

A tale to tell the world it's now your's Simone

Passing on a story or experience to Simone, possibly implying the partner now holds control
