Lyrics

Wakin' up this mornin' thinkin' this can't be real

Waking up feeling disbelief, questioning the reality of the situation

They say there is nothin' love can't heal

Belief in love's ability to heal all things

Why don't you come on down so you can feel what I feel

Invitation for the other person to understand the emotions being experienced

Just sittin' all alone in this place

Feeling isolated and alone

Even though we're here face to face

Despite physical proximity, there's emotional distance

There is nothin' gone, but there's somethin' wrong

Sense of something being amiss despite nothing being explicitly wrong


Can't you see that I'm stuck here underneath

Expressing being trapped or stuck in a situation

And you're makin' it hard to breathe

Difficulty in coping, feeling suffocated

Take a look around and tell me what you see

Challenging the other person to observe the surroundings

You'll find me underneath

Self-identification with being 'underneath'


Said, underneath

Reiteration of being 'underneath'


Yeah

Expression of emotion, perhaps emphasizing a realization


Now, I know what to say, but don't know where to begin

Knowing what to say but unsure how to communicate

I fear I'm losing you beneath my skin

Fear of losing someone important on a deeply personal level

What is the resolution for this pain that I'm in

Seeking a solution for emotional pain

Is sittin' all alone in this place

Similarity to earlier feeling isolated despite proximity

Even though we're here face to face

Reiteration of emotional distance

There is nothin' gone, but there's somethin' wrong

Sense of something being wrong without a clear cause


Can't you see that I'm stuck here underneath

Repeating feeling trapped or stuck

And you're makin' it hard to breathe

Feeling stifled or unable to breathe freely

Take a look around and tell me what you see

Encouragement to observe and understand the situation

You'll find me, yea, underneath

Reiteration of self-identification with being 'underneath'


You're gonna find me underneath

Repetition emphasizing being 'underneath'

woah woah woah woah

Emotional exclamation


If only you could feel what I dream

Desire for the other person to understand dreams and emotions

Then maybe you could hear what I mean

Hope that understanding emotions will lead to understanding intentions

There is nothin' gone, but there's somethin' missin'

Sense of lacking something important without clear definition


Can't you see that I'm stuck here underneath

Reiteration of feeling trapped or stuck

And you're makin' it hard to breathe

Feeling of suffocation or difficulty in the situation

Take a look around and tell me what you see

Encouragement to observe the surroundings for understanding

You'll find me, yea, underneath

Reiteration of self-identification with being 'underneath'

Said, you'll find me underneath

Repetition emphasizing being 'underneath'


Said, underneath

Reiteration of being 'underneath'


Said, underneath

Final repetition emphasizing being 'underneath'
