Lyrics
Headlights go passing me silently
Feeling isolated as headlights pass by without notice.
Between the glow, I look back at me
Reflecting on oneself amidst external influences.
Thought I'd get through, but I'm stuck on the side
Struggling to progress, feeling stuck on the sidelines.
Motion denied all day
Experiencing constant rejection or denial of movement.
Now, it wouldn't feel like so long a time
Perception of time elongated due to challenges faced.
If I could just be a friend of mine
Wishing to be a friend to oneself for self-acceptance.
I'm reaching up as I fall away
Striving for improvement while facing setbacks.
And it hurts when it gets to me
Expressing emotional pain and difficulty coping.
Yeah, it hurts when it gets to me
-Oh, it hurts when it gets to me
-I can't move along
Feeling unable to move forward.
And I keep on thinking 'bout where I go wrong
Reflecting on past mistakes and contemplating errors.
It didn't look like too hard a shot
Underestimating the challenge and the effort required.
To move a little and hold a lot
-Thought I'd do more than just circle the block
-Promise in chalk to change
Failing to fulfill a promise, facing consequences.
Now, I took a picture so late at night
Feeling unable to piece together broken aspects of life.
Now all the city's just shades of light
-Like broken pieces I can't arrange
-And it hurts when it gets to me
Reiterating the emotional pain and its impact.
Yeah, it hurts when it gets to me
-Oh, it hurts when it gets to me
-I can't move along
Sense of being unable to progress.
And I keep on thinking 'bout where I go wrong
Continued reflection on personal mistakes and missteps.
There's no one holding me underground
Feeling liberated from constraints but uncertain about choices.
It's not so far I can't turn around
-I hope my feeling is right this time
-And it hurts when it gets to me
Reiterating the persisting emotional pain and its impact.
Yeah, it hurts when it gets to me
-Oh, it hurts when it gets to me
-I can't move along
Feeling stuck and unable to move forward.
And I keep on thinking 'bout where I go wrong
Continued contemplation of personal shortcomings.
