Lyrics

See all the numbers getting larger

Observing the increasing numbers, possibly representing time or experiences.

See all the streets are getting stranger with the crowd

Noticing that the streets are becoming unfamiliar, especially in the midst of a crowd.

You know we both been feeling reckless

Acknowledging a shared sense of recklessness between two individuals.

Since we crashed into the come down

Referencing a moment of impact or change, crashing into a state of realization or transition.


Take one more step into the station

Taking a decisive step forward, perhaps towards an uncertain destination.

We'll flag the first train down and fade into the wings

Attempting to catch a train, symbolizing a desire to move forward and escape.

We got no need to change direction

Expressing contentment with the current path and having no intention to change it.

We could only keep on moving

Emphasizing the only option is to keep moving forward despite uncertainties.


But what can keep us moving forward

Pondering what motivates progress when there is nothing left to lose or destroy.

Now that there's nothing left to burn, anyhow

Acknowledging the absence of obstacles or challenges to overcome.

What will keep you next to me, my love

Raising a question about the enduring connection and love in the absence of challenges.

Since it's too late to turn back now

Realizing it's too late to go back and change the course of events.


I caught your face in the reflection

Noting a reflection, possibly in a literal or metaphorical sense.

I thought I recognized the corner of your smile

Recognizing familiarity in the other person's expression, specifically a smile.

A tired light from your direction

Describing a worn-out or weary light emanating from the other person's direction.

That will keep me in the meanwhile

Indicating that this light will sustain the speaker in the interim or meantime.


But what can keep us moving forward

Reiterating the question of what drives progress when there's nothing left to lose.

Now that there's nothing left to burn anyhow

Confirming the absence of obstacles or hindrances in the current situation.

What will keep you next to me, my love

Posing the question of what will maintain the connection and love going forward.

Since it's too late to turn back now

Yes, it's too late to turn back now

Emphasizing the irreversibility of the situation; there's no turning back at this point.
