Break
Breaking Waves of Love and Loss
Lyrics
So you carry less than me
Reflecting on someone carrying less emotional baggage than the speaker.
Where have you left it all?
Questioning where the person has left all their emotional burdens.
Soon in one home we'll see
Anticipating a shared future home and what emotions will reside within.
What'll live inside these walls
Contemplating the emotions and memories that will be present in their shared space.
The lovers we've held past
Recalling past relationships and the people they've held close.
All slipped from some tight grasp
Noting the loss of past connections that slipped away despite efforts to hold onto them.
And it's so easy now
Expressing that forgetting past hardships is now easier.
To forget how it all came down
Reflecting on the ease of forgetting the details of how a relationship or situation came to an end.
You hold on to waves that have broke
Holding onto memories or emotions that have already reached a breaking point.
They've crashed but keep you afloat
Acknowledging that despite reaching a breaking point, certain elements still provide support.
If the water comes up you'll choke
Fearing that if more challenges arise, it might be overwhelming and cause emotional distress.
So I hope they break
Expressing a desire for the challenges or emotional burdens to break or resolve.
I hope they break
-I hope they all break
-Before we leave here today
Wishing for resolution before leaving the current situation.
Could an ocean hold you forever?
Pondering if an ocean of emotions can sustain a person indefinitely.
And could a man even stand that test of time?
Questioning the endurance of a person through trials and challenges.
Will borrowed and blue look better?
Considering if traditional elements like "borrowed and blue" improve one's situation.
And how much of you will I find?
Wondering how much of the person's true self the speaker will discover.
I've held on to waves that have rolled
Recalling holding onto emotions that have come in waves.
The water was deep, it was cold
Describing deep and cold waters as metaphors for challenging emotions.
I reached out for your hand to hold
Reaching out for support in difficult times.
And I hoped they'd break
Reiterating the hope for challenges or emotional burdens to break or resolve.
I hoped they'd break
-I hoped they'd all break
-I hoped they'd break
Emphasizing the speaker's strong desire for resolution.
I hoped they'd break
-I hoped they'd break
-I hoped they'd all break
-Before we leave here today
Repeating the wish for resolution before leaving the current situation.
