Lyrics
Well you drained my love like being out in the ocean
Expressing feeling of emotional depletion, comparing it to the vastness and depth of the ocean.
Without a boat or water surrounding us there too
Describing a situation of vulnerability and isolation without necessary means of support.
And your half a heart could only float for so long
Highlighting the fragility of the partner's commitment, symbolized by a "half a heart" unable to endure challenges.
Before the waves of doubt capsized us in two
Depicting the relationship's collapse under the weight of uncertainty and skepticism.
Hold steady
An urging to remain steadfast in the face of impending separation or change.
Hold steady before you go
Reiterating the plea to stay strong and composed before departing.
Hold steady I wanna let you know
Conveying the desire to communicate an important message before parting ways.
That in this life I only want one person
Expressing a singular desire for companionship, emphasizing exclusivity in the speaker's affections.
There along my side you know it's true
Affirming the commitment to having the specified person as a constant companion.
Can you take me back to when we were in Portland
Nostalgically yearning for a past moment in Portland, suggesting a desire to revisit a better time.
I can try and sing closer next to you
Expressing willingness to make an effort to be closer emotionally.
Well you're probably on a plane somewhere over Houston
Imagining the partner's current location and situation, possibly emphasizing physical distance.
While I sit inside an apartment meant for us
Contrasting the partner's absence with a space originally meant for both, indicating a sense of loss.
With my old guitar and a handle of whiskey bourbon
Depicting a scene of solitude with a guitar and alcohol, possibly for coping with the separation.
Maybe I'll see your face around Minneapolis
Speculating about a potential encounter with the partner in Minneapolis, hinting at a sense of hope.
Hold steady
Repeating the call to maintain composure and stability before departure.
Hold steady before you go
Emphasizing the importance of steadiness and resolve in the face of impending changes.
Hold steady I wanna let you know
Restating the intention to convey a significant message before separation.
That in this life I only want one person
Reiterating the exclusive desire for one particular person as a lifelong companion.
