Out the Door
Love's Lockdown: Exploring Heartbreak and Choices in James Young's 'Out the Door'
Lyrics
Feels like were in the last round
There's a sense of finality or urgency in the current situation.
It's time to put your cards down
It's time to reveal one's true intentions or decisions.
We're never gonna know now
The outcome is uncertain and will remain unknown.
Our love is in a lockdown
The love relationship is constrained or restricted.
I had looked as far I could see
The speaker has explored all possibilities or options.
To find out what we would have been
Trying to understand what the relationship could have become.
I think it might've broken me
The exploration may have caused emotional damage.
I'm pretty sure my heart agrees
The heart agrees that the experience was challenging.
Oh oh oh, leave these thoughts behind
Encouraging to move on from negative thoughts.
Oh oh oh, in life there's no rewind
Life doesn't offer a chance to undo or redo.
Our hearts went out the door
The emotional connection has faded or ended.
I know they wanted more
The other person desired more from the relationship.
You were all that I could see
The person was the primary focus in the speaker's life.
It never made me free
However, the relationship didn't bring freedom.
We were gonna run away
Initial plans to escape problems have failed.
Leave our problems for another day
The intention was to deal with problems later.
Hoping they would fade to grey
Hoping issues would naturally resolve.
Now their standing in my doorway
Problems are now confronting the speaker directly.
Its dangerous to dwell on you
Reflecting on the past can be risky or harmful.
My feelings are not bulletproof
The speaker's emotions are vulnerable.
Its my heart that i will always choose
The heart remains the speaker's ultimate choice.
Why put it through more abuse
Choosing not to subject the heart to more pain.
Oh oh oh, leave these thoughts behind
Encouragement to move beyond negative thoughts.
Oh oh oh, in life there's no rewind
Life doesn't provide a chance to go back.
Our hearts went out the door
Reiteration of the emotional disconnection.
I know they wanted more
The other person desired more commitment.
You were all that I could see
Highlighting the exclusive focus on the other person.
It never made me free
The relationship did not bring the expected freedom.
