Lyrics
I've been away for some time
Expressing absence from a situation or place for a while.
Was searching near and far for all the wrong signs
Having searched extensively for incorrect indications or signals.
But I was only looking out for my mind (for my mind)
Focusing solely on one's own thoughts and emotions.
And working out all of the things that were broken inside
Dealing with personal issues and inner turmoil.
I've been a fool
Admitting to past foolishness.
Wearing my heart on my skin
Being emotionally vulnerable and open.
I've been a fool
Experiencing pain due to impulsiveness.
Getting hurt from rushing in
Continuing to behave unwisely.
I've been a fool
Admitting a recurring pattern of folly.
Still afraid of giving in
Remaining hesitant to surrender emotionally.
Unless you're a fool
Implying that only fools take risks.
I guess you're a fool
Questioning someone's judgment for choosing to love the singer.
If you'd choose to love me
Considering the consequence of someone's affection.
I've been away for some time
Repeating absence from a situation or place for a while.
I was searching near and far but for all the wrong signs
Reiterating the extensive search for incorrect signs.
I was only looking out for my mind
Reaffirming the focus on personal thoughts and emotions.
And working out all of the things that were broken inside
Continuing to deal with inner conflicts.
I've been a fool
Reflecting on past vulnerability and openness.
Wearing my heart on my skin
Reiterating emotional pain from impulsiveness.
I've been a fool
Experiencing hurt due to rushing into situations.
Getting hurt from rushing in
Repeating fear of emotional commitment.
I've been a fool
Continuing a cycle of unwise behavior.
Still afraid of giving in
Remaining cautious about emotional surrender.
Unless you're a fool
Implying that only those taking risks are fools.
I guess you're a fool
Questioning the judgment of someone choosing to love.
If you'd choose to love me
Suggesting a shared acceptance of foolishness in love.
Well let's be fools
Inviting mutual acceptance of foolishness in love.
Well let's be fools
Reiterating the invitation to embrace love despite its risks.
I'm tired of being lonely on the road for the longest time
Expressing weariness of loneliness during travels.
I'm asking you to stay with me
Pleading for companionship.
Wait with me
Requesting someone to wait and remain together.
Say you'll be
Asking for commitment to stay.
There by my side
Desiring constant support and presence.
I've been a fool
Reiterating emotional vulnerability.
Wearing my heart on my skin
Experiencing pain due to impulsive actions.
I've been a fool
Reiterating hurt from rushing into situations.
Getting hurt rushing in
Committing to remaining vulnerable despite potential pain.
I'll stay a fool
Continuing to fear emotional commitment.
Still afraid to give in
Implying hesitance to emotionally surrender.
Unless you're a fool
Implying that only risk-takers are fools.
I guess you're a fool
Questioning the judgment of someone loving the singer.
If you'd choose to love me
Considering the consequences of someone's affection.
Well let's be fools
Reiterating the invitation to embrace love despite its risks.
Well let's be fools
Reaffirming the invitation to accept folly in love.
