Lyrics
From the shelter of your home
Seeking refuge within the comfort of your home
As you walk into the rain
Entering the challenges of life, symbolized by walking into the rain
Send a message that you know she'll hear
Conveying a message with the hope that she, despite being distant, will hear
Though she's far away
Acknowledging the physical or emotional distance between you and her
Even though you have been wrong before
Despite past mistakes, anticipating her attention now
She'll hear you now
Confidence that she will listen to you
You know she will
Expressing certainty that she will pay attention
But you don't know how
Uncertain about the method or reason for her attention
From the shelter of the rain
Facing challenges while seeking solace in the midst of difficulties
As you walk into the Tube
Navigating through life, perhaps symbolized by entering the Tube (subway)
As you think of how you wonder if
Contemplating whether she thinks about you in return
She thinks about you too
Wondering if she reciprocates your thoughts
Even though you've waited so long
Patience despite a prolonged wait for a significant moment
To see the day
Anticipation of the day when she will finally turn to you
When she will turn
Expectation of her attention or focus shifting towards you
To you again
Imagining a reunion where you express "So long, my friend"
'So long my friend'
Potentially signaling the end of a close relationship
Is what you'll say
An anticipated farewell statement
And I don't know
Expressing confusion or uncertainty
Why you feel so bad
Questioning the intense negative emotions experienced
Where is the life you once had?
Pondering the loss of a previous fulfilling life
And still this horrid feeling grows and grows
The unpleasant feeling intensifying despite desires
The way you want it to
The unpleasant feeling not aligning with desired outcomes
Even though you've waited so long
Reiteration of the prolonged wait for a significant moment
To see the day
Repeating the anticipation of her turning towards you
When she will turn
Reiterating the expectation of her attention turning to you
To you again
Envisioning the moment of reunion and the anticipated farewell
'So long my friend'
Repeating the expected farewell phrase
Is what you'll say
Reiterating the anticipated farewell statement
And I don't know
Continued confusion or uncertainty
Why you feel so bad
Reiterating the questioning of intense negative emotions
Where is the life you once had?
Repeating the contemplation of a lost fulfilling life
And still this horrid feeling grows and grows
Persisting and intensifying negative emotions contrary to desires
The way you want it to
The unpleasant feeling not aligning with desired outcomes, reiterated
You're a fool though
Acknowledging a sense of foolishness in the situation
Why you feel so bad
Reiterating the questioning of intense negative emotions
Where is the life you once had?
Repeating the contemplation of a lost fulfilling life
And still this hollow feeling grows and grows
Acknowledging a persisting hollow feeling, growing despite desires
The way you want it to
The unpleasant feeling not aligning with desired outcomes, reiterated
