Lyrics
I watch the lights on the ocean
I observe the lights reflecting on the ocean.
I count the leaves on the trees
I meticulously count the leaves on the trees.
If it wasn't for your indecision
If it weren't for your hesitation or uncertainty,
There'd be nothing between you and me
There would be no barriers between us.
I catch your eye, it's a showdown
I make eye contact with you, creating a tense confrontation.
Anticipate your every move
I anticipate and predict your every move.
Purposely find contradiction
Intentionally seeking out contradictions in our interactions.
Escalate nothing to prove
We escalate conflicts without any need to prove ourselves.
Instants of calm fly by mocking
Moments of calm pass by, seemingly mocking us.
All poking fun at a smile
Others make light of a smile, perhaps implying a lack of genuine happiness.
She pulls a face in the mirror
She grimaces or expresses dissatisfaction in front of the mirror.
Lately it's just not our style
Lately, displaying emotions or reactions is not characteristic of our relationship.
Losing control to stay under
We relinquish control to maintain a connection.
Fighting and screaming down walls
We engage in intense conflicts and arguments, metaphorically breaking down walls.
Worry has made you a martyr
Constant worry has turned you into a martyr, sacrificing for the relationship.
Washed up and left for the birds
You are left washed up and abandoned, left for others to pick apart.
I count the leaves on the trees
I again count the leaves on the trees, possibly symbolizing a futile attempt to find stability.
I watch the lights on the ocean
I once more observe the lights on the ocean, perhaps reflecting on the ongoing turbulence.
I count the leaves on the trees
Repetition of counting leaves on the trees, emphasizing a sense of obsession or a futile focus on details.
I watch the lights on the ocean
Repetition of observing lights on the ocean, underscoring a continued contemplation of the relationship.
