Lyrics
Can we walk in hope
Expressing a desire to approach the future optimistically.
Into another new year
Entering a new year with anticipation.
Just to cast away the ghosts
To let go of past haunting memories or regrets.
Or to have the time to again
To possibly have the opportunity to revisit past experiences.
You said hold on to dreams
Encouraging to hold onto aspirations or ambitions.
But I know you don't try
Recognition that despite encouragement, one doesn't make an effort.
Cause you're innocent I know that you won't survive
Belief in the innocence of someone who might not cope well.
I heard the phone ring
Receiving a late-night call, initially fearing bad news.
So late at night that I
The timing of the call led to thoughts of a tragedy.
I thought someone had died
Immediate fear and concern for someone's well-being.
Someone had died
Reiteration of the impact of a hypothetical loss.
But your voice was full of hope
Despite the late call, the voice carried a hopeful tone.
Like it was on better days
Similarity to past better times reflected in the voice.
On clear mornings when the rain had left the sky
Recollection of moments after difficulties have passed.
I can't stand the thought of you alone
Feeling intolerable imagining someone in solitude.
I can't stand the thought of you alone
Reiterating discomfort at the thought of someone being alone.
Don't try to get close to
Advising against attempts to establish emotional closeness due to emotional vulnerability.
Us because there's nothing
Explanation that there is nothing beyond the exposed inner selves.
But our souls laid bare
Questioning the possibility of survival despite emotional exposure.
Will we survive
Expressing certainty in eventual survival.
I know we will
Confident assertion about the ability to endure.
