Let's Leave
Chasing Dawn: Embracing Change and Connection in John-Allison Weiss's 'Let's Leave'
Lyrics
Well, I never took a shortcut out
Expressing a refusal to take an easy way out of a situation
I don't know about you
Asking if the listener shares the same perspective
And looking back is so damn hard
Reflecting on the difficulty of looking back at the past
But I still manage to
Despite difficulties, managing to reflect on the past
And I'm quick to call you over
Readiness to reach out to the listener
When I'd rather call you mine
Expressing a desire for a deeper connection
So I'll meet you in the middle
Willingness to compromise and meet halfway
I just need a little time
Requesting time and space
These days are keeping me up at night
Struggling with current circumstances affecting sleep
No way you're taking me down
Determined not to be defeated
Let's stay awake through the morning light
Suggesting staying awake together until morning
Let's leave this town
Proposing leaving the current place or situation
And you keep me for the lonely days
Acknowledging the listener's support during lonely times
I swear to god it's true
Asserting the truth of the statement
I can't blame you 'cause I've done the same thing
Acknowledging past actions and not blaming the listener
Many times to you
Recognition of reciprocity in actions
There's a truth that we cannot deny
Emphasizing an undeniable truth
'Cause fate don't lie, my friend
Referring to fate as a reliable indicator
You're the reason for my rise, my fall
Attributing highs and lows to the listener
Beginnings and my end
Linking the listener to various life phases
These days are keeping me up at night
Continued struggle with nighttime thoughts
No way you're taking me down
Reiterating determination not to be defeated
Let's stay awake through the morning light
Recommending staying awake until morning together
Let's leave this town
Repeating the idea of leaving the current situation
These days are keeping me up at night
Reiterating the impact of current circumstances on sleep
No way you're taking me down
Reaffirming resilience and determination
Let's stay awake through the morning light
Restating the proposal to stay awake through the morning
Let's leave this town
Repeating the desire to leave the current town
