Lyrics
My legs been standing close to my body
Expressing physical closeness, possibly feeling guarded or self-protective.
Found my way where subtle waits til the morning
Navigating through subtle moments until the morning.
I'm assuming that I'm all alone in this room
Feeling isolated and assuming solitude in the room.
With a latent insecurity as I take it to the floor with me
Carrying latent insecurities to the dance floor.
And oh my god, I don't know what I'm wearing, but
Uncertain about appearance but potentially breaking rules.
I might be breaking a rule
Suggesting a willingness to challenge norms or expectations.
Hold this town, we can slow it down if for a moment
Proposing to slow down time in the town for a brief moment.
Cuz I'm feeling now what we'd taken after light
Experiencing emotions after the light has faded.
All this time we've been finding love in fragile places
Finding love in vulnerable places over time.
But in this light you look so pretty
Complimenting the partner's appearance in the current light.
I won't let you know that I'm ready if you're not
Expressing readiness for a deeper connection if reciprocated.
When I'm away
Reflecting on emotions when physically distant.
I can feel your love from a thousand miles away
Feeling love from a significant distance.
And I want to tell you now cuz I might drink enough tonight
Considering honesty while under the influence tonight.
When I'm away
Trading silence for a moment in separation.
We can trade a silence for a moment
Acknowledging the partner's emotional struggle.
Cuz I know you're losing your mind
Offering support during a breakdown.
Just leave it with me while you're having a breakdown
Potential regret for actions leading to sleeplessness.
That you might regret just to fall asleep tonight
Committing to waiting, possibly breaking a promise.
I'll wait—count on breaking a promise
Suggesting honesty might be facilitated by alcohol.
It might take a bottle making me honest, oh
Invoking physical touch without long-term expectations.
Touch my neck like we don't expect to stay forever
Highlighting the healing power of shared experiences.
This healing counts as what keeps us half alive
Struggling to remember a meaningful life amidst challenges.
I've been trying to keep a hold of life I don't remember
Taking a partner along to feel a positive remedy in the light.
But in this light I take you with me cuz I just want to feel this remedy all night
Reiterating the sensation of love across a great distance.
When I'm away
Continuing the theme of feeling love when physically apart.
I can feel your love from a thousand miles away
Expressing the desire to communicate feelings tonight.
And I want to tell you now cuz I might drink enough tonight
Trading silence again for a moment of connection.
When I'm away
Acknowledging the partner's mental struggles.
We can trade a silence for a moment
Supporting the partner through a breakdown.
Cuz I know you're losing your mind
Highlighting potential regret before sleep.
Just leave it with me while you're having a breakdown
Getting caught up in a transient, emotional moment.
That you might regret just to fall asleep tonight
Mentioning missed calls, possibly indicating emotional distance.
I'm just getting caught up in a moment
Reflecting on a different perception of oneself in the past.
I've been missing call now on my phone and
Returning to thoughts from a previous moment.
I'm not what I thought of in the moment
Acknowledging a discrepancy between self-perception and reality.
I'm just getting caught up in a moment
Repeating the experience of being caught up in a fleeting moment.
When I'm away
Reiterating the theme of feeling love when physically distant.
I can feel your love from a thousand miles away
Expressing the desire to communicate feelings tonight.
And I want to tell you now cuz I might drink enough tonight
Trading silence for a moment of connection once again.
When I'm away
Acknowledging the partner's mental struggles.
We can trade a silence for a moment
Offering support through a breakdown.
Cuz I know you're losing your mind
Highlighting potential regret before sleep.
Just leave it with me while you're having a breakdown
Repeating the theme of potential regret leading to sleeplessness.
That you might regret just to fall asleep tonight
Expressing the possibility of regret before falling asleep tonight.
