Lyrics
You say you’re not ready
You express hesitation or unreadiness.
Well neither am I
The speaker reciprocates the feelings of unpreparedness.
You say that you’re broken
You claim to be emotionally damaged.
And I know how that feels
The speaker empathizes, having experienced similar emotions.
Well life has a habit
Life tends to wear people down over time.
Of wearing us down
Continuation of the idea that life is challenging.
But when I’m in your arms
Despite life's challenges, finding comfort in the other person's embrace.
I can rest
Feeling a sense of peace and relaxation when in your arms.
And last night you said
Recalling a recent admission of love during sleep.
That you love me, in your sleep
The partner expressed love unconsciously.
And I’m falling
The speaker is falling emotionally or romantically.
And I don’t know
Uncertainty about how the relationship became so intense.
How we let this get so deep
Questioning the depth of the emotional involvement.
Well what are we doing?
Raising questions about the purpose or direction of the relationship.
What are we doing?
Repetition of the question about the relationship's purpose.
And I have a wedding dress
Mention of a wedding dress stored under the bed.
Under my bed
Expressing gratitude for avoiding formal commitments (vows).
I’m so f@#$ing grateful
Strong emotion regarding the absence of formal commitments.
That no vows were ever said
Highlighting the lack of spoken vows in the relationship.
And I can’t keep a promise
Admission of difficulty in keeping promises.
Any time that I’ve tried
General struggles with maintaining commitments.
But I know I couldn’t leave your side
Acknowledgment that leaving your side is challenging despite difficulties.
And last night you said
Reiteration of the partner's sleep-confessed love.
That you love me, in your sleep
Re-experiencing the emotional fall following the sleep confession.
And I’m falling
Continued emotional descent due to uncertainty.
And I don’t know
Questioning the reasons behind the deepening of emotions.
How we let this get so deep
Reflecting on the inexplicable depth of the relationship.
Well what are we doing?
Repetition of the inquiry about the purpose or direction of the relationship.
What are we doing?
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding the relationship's path.
Oh what are we doing?
Further expression of uncertainty about the relationship.
And last night you said
Recalling the sleep-confessed love from the partner.
That you love me, in your sleep
Re-experiencing the emotional fall associated with the sleep confession.
And I’m falling
Continued emotional descent due to uncertainty.
And I don’t know
Questioning the reasons behind the deepening of emotions.
How we let this get so deep
Reflecting on the inexplicable depth of the relationship.
Well what are we doing?
Repetition of the inquiry about the purpose or direction of the relationship.
What are we doing?
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding the relationship's path.
Oh what are we doing?
Further expression of uncertainty about the relationship.
