Lyrics
Seven isolated months
Seven months of isolation
Just to come back to square one
Efforts seem to have brought them back to the starting point
We both agreed that this was done
Mutual agreement that the relationship is over
Now we're standing at my door
Now, facing each other at the speaker's door
Won't say I don't want to let you go
The speaker hesitates to let the person go but acknowledges the necessity
We both agree it's not just fun
Both acknowledge that the relationship is not just for fun
(Pre) each time it changes
Transition to the pre-chorus
But I feel like it's worth saving
Despite changes, the speaker believes the relationship is worth saving
Promise this time I'll be patient
Expressing commitment and patience for the relationship
I was thinking maybe we can try if you want
Suggesting the possibility of trying again
I'll be here I won't run
Assurance of staying and not running away
Maybe timing is to blame
Considering the impact of timing on the relationship
Maybe this time something's changed
Suspecting a change this time around
We've been here once or twice
Reflecting on past experiences of being in a similar situation
And we've both compromised
Mentioning compromises made by both parties
Maybe timing was to to blame
Reiterating the influence of timing on past outcomes
Maybe this time something's changed
Suspecting a change this time around
Seven separated months
Seven more months of separation
Waking up where we began
Waking up in the same situation as the beginning
Doing this again was never planned
Repeating the relationship was not planned to happen again
Now we're standing at my door
Back at the speaker's door, unsure of the other person's intentions
It's hard to tell if you want more
Uncertainty about the other person's desire for more
Even I'll admit that I'm unsure
The speaker admits to their own uncertainty
(Pre) each time it changes
Transition to the pre-chorus again
But I feel like it's worth saving
Belief in the relationship's worth despite changes
Promise this time I'll be patient
Commitment to patience once again
I was thinking maybe
Continuation of the thought about trying again
We can try if you want
Reiterating the suggestion to try again
I'll be here I won't run
Reassurance of staying and not running away
Maybe timing is to blame
Considering timing as a factor in the relationship
Maybe this time something's changed
Expressing suspicion of change this time
We've been here once or twice
Recalling past experiences of compromise
And we've both compromised
Highlighting mutual concessions in the relationship
Maybe timing was to to blame
Emphasizing the role of timing in past difficulties
Maybe this time something's changed
Reiterating the suspicion that something might be different this time
