Lyrics
And here we stand now, intimate strangers in the end
Despite our closeness, we feel distant and unfamiliar towards the end.
With these cold sheets we lay between
We share these cold, distant emotions between us as represented by the sheets we lay on.
We're holding onto what, makes us emptier again (and I'm just begging to be seen)
We cling to things that only make us feel more empty, and there's a desperate desire to be noticed or recognized.
Your skin it lingers with my regret
Your presence reminds me of past regrets or mistakes.
As I'm falling asleep and you're grabbing the wheel
While I'm drifting off to sleep, you're taking control of our situation.
You say hold on tight it'll be okay
You reassure me to hold on, implying everything will be fine, but there's doubt about that.
Did you really think that?
Questioning the sincerity of your reassurances.
Pull me into the sea so we don't drown alone
Wanting to face difficulties together instead of facing them alone.
You've made your bed with mine so we can call this home
We've committed to each other's lives, hoping to make a shared space our home.
And as the waves crash around you
Observing as challenges surround you.
I watch your eyes grow with fear
Seeing fear grow in your eyes amidst these challenges.
We have created a riptide
We've created a situation that's pulling us under, akin to a riptide, affecting our destiny.
Our fate lies here
Our fate or future lies within this problematic situation.
Your skin it lingers with my regret
Repeated reference to the lingering presence of past regrets through your physical touch.
As I'm falling asleep and you're grabbing the wheel
Similar to line 6, the regret persists as I drift to sleep and you take control.
You say hold on tight it'll be okay
Reiteration of reassurances, questioning their genuineness.
Did you really think that?
Expressing doubt about the truthfulness of the reassurances.
Pull me out of here
A plea to be rescued or taken away from this situation.
Onto land
Request to be brought to a stable ground or situation.
As I disappear
A sense of disappearing or losing oneself in this turbulent situation.
Hold my hand
A plea to hold onto each other despite the challenges.
Lover, we're not playing fair
An acknowledgment that the relationship isn't operating fairly or equitably.
