Lyrics
Yeah I could go outside today but I won't
Expressing reluctance or hesitation to go outside.
'cause I won't
Reiteration of the decision not to go outside.
Yeah I could look alive today but I won't
Acknowledging the possibility of looking alive but choosing not to.
'cause I won't
Reiteration of the decision not to look alive.
But somewhere on the radio could you hear me?
Possibly longing for communication through the radio.
Can you heal me?
Seeking healing through the radio.
Somewhere on the radio can you hear me,
Repetition of the desire to be heard on the radio while expressing emotional distress.
'cause I'm screamin! screamin'...
Intense emotional expression and possibly frustration.
When I don't want to miss you anymore
Desire to stop missing someone.
No, don't want to miss you anymore
Reiteration of the decision not to miss the person anymore.
Or the lines on your face,
Referring to physical characteristics as a reminder of the person.
Or the things I can't change
Reference to aspects that cannot be changed.
No, I don't want to miss them anymore.
Decision not to miss those aspects anymore.
'cause today is the first time,
Highlighting the significance of the current day.
The first in a long time,
Emphasizing that it's the first time in a long time to feel the need to hold on.
Where I've felt the need to hold on
Expressing the desire to hold on emotionally.
And I'll be damned if you take this
Asserting the importance of the day and not allowing it to be taken away.
This day that I've made and
Ownership of the day and its significance.
You make it where I shouldn't be strong
Expressing vulnerability and the struggle to be strong.
I would have murdered for it
Extreme desire or longing for something.
I'll put words to it when it hurts a bit
Willingness to articulate pain or difficult emotions.
Then I thank God for this...
Gratitude for something despite the pain.
Yeah, I could go to town today
Contemplating going to town but deciding against it.
But I won't, 'cause I won't
Reiteration of the decision not to go to town.
Yeah, I could play the clown today,
Considering playing the clown but choosing not to.
But I won't, 'cause I won't
Reiteration of the decision not to play the clown.
When somewhere in the place I love
Possibly referring to a place where the person is loved.
Does he hold you?
Questioning if someone else holds the person in the same way.
Like I used to?
Recalling past intimacy and connection.
As you stare at his microphone
Visualizing the person with someone else.
Do you choke and then call out my name?
Suggesting emotional reaction to the sight of the person with someone else.
Screamin'
Reiteration of intense emotional expression, possibly pain or distress.
And somewhere on the radio can you hear me?
Repetition of the desire to be heard on the radio for healing.
Could you heal me?
Reiterating the plea for healing through the radio.
And somewhere on the radio did you hear me?
Repetition of the question of being heard on the radio.
Can you heal me?
Repetition of the plea for healing through the radio.
Yes, somewhere on the radio can you hear me?
Repetition of the question of being heard on the radio.
Can you heal me?
Repetition of the plea for healing through the radio.
Somewhere out there where the fiddles play
Imagining a place where music is played, possibly symbolizing escape or solace.
Could you hear me? can you heal me?
Repetition of the question of being heard on the radio in the imagined place.
