Lyrics
“Thanks for all your patience”
Expressing gratitude for patience received
You mean leaving me in the dark?
Questioning being left in ignorance
You weren’t busy, you were sleeping on my heart
Accusing the person of not being genuinely busy but emotionally distant
What’s a month for trying?
Raising the question of the value of a month of effort
I’ve been there a million times
Expressing experience of repeated challenges
What’s for baby crying?
Rhetorical question about reasons for a baby's crying
I’ve been her a million times
Highlighting personal experience of dealing with difficulties
I am the prophet turning water into wine
Claiming the role of a prophet with a mystical ability
And if all that came from my lips
Questioning the impact of spoken words delivered with disdain
was spoken with contempt,
Reflecting on the possibility of building a friendship with negative communication
How could we ever become such good friends?
Recognizing the potential for asking and offering help
I could see you asking for help;
Indicating a lack of time to provide assistance
I could see me saying that I haven’t got the time
Expecting a call for help but with limited availability
You’ll call me over when you want
Anticipating a selective approach in seeking support
water turned to wine
Referring to a transformative ability to turn challenges into positive experiences
I’m just a woman - not your holy, heroin muse
Asserting individual identity and rejecting a divine or addictive role
No fame, no money, no beauty could save you
Denying the power of fame, money, or beauty to save someone
I don’t think there’s a savior in man;
Casting doubt on the existence of a savior in humanity
Not even in god
Challenging the belief in salvation even in a higher power
People always will what they want to
Observing human tendencies to pursue desires
Don’t be fooled - it’s water; it’s not wine
Warning against deception, emphasizing reality over illusion
But if I could will what I wanted,
Expressing a desire for control over personal circumstances
I’d take back my time
Expressing a hypothetical wish to reclaim lost time
I am the prophet turning water into wine
Reiterating the claim of possessing mystical abilities
