From It All
Navigating Love's Turbulence: 'From It All' by Lij Gilmour
Lyrics
I don't wanna waste my time without you
I don't want to waste my time without you
I told you how I felt and then walked away
I expressed my feelings to you and then walked away
Something 'bout the way you feel makes me wannna stay
There's something about the way you make me feel that makes me want to stay
Make you feel okay
I want to make you feel okay
Like you're swimming in the ocean, lost like you know you're in motion
Describing a feeling of being lost in the ocean, in motion, without direction
And your heart can't be to blame, be to blame
Your heart is not to blame for the situation
Like the tide swept you under, lost like you know you're the thunder
Similar to line 5, emphasizing being lost, but now mentioning thunder
Trying to catch the rain, catch the rain
Trying to catch the rain, possibly symbolizing an attempt to control or understand something elusive
I've been trying to fight, while you've been trying to hide
Expressing personal effort to confront challenges while noting the other person's inclination to avoid them
From it all
Repetition of "From it all," suggesting a desire to escape or distance oneself from something
From it all
-From it all
-So maybe this just might, start to change your mind
Suggesting that the situation might eventually change the other person's perspective
From it all
Reiteration of the desire to distance oneself from certain things
From it all
-I could try and try and try again, I know I probably shouldn't
Expressing a willingness to try again despite uncertainty and potential hesitations
I just wannna make it out alive
Desire to survive or overcome challenges
Something 'bout the way your eyes look at me
Highlighting the significance of the way the other person looks at the speaker
I know that I'm safe when I'm with you now (when I'm with you now)
Feeling safe when with the other person
Like you're swimming in the ocean, lost like you know you're in motion
Similar imagery to lines 5-8, depicting a sense of being lost and trying to understand or control
And your heart can't be to blame, be to blame
-Like the tide swept you under, lost like you know you're the thunder
-Trying to catch the rain, catch the rain
-I've been trying to fight, while you've been trying to hide
Continuation of the speaker's effort to confront challenges, contrasting with the other person's avoidance
From it all
Repetition of the desire to distance oneself from certain things
From it all
-From it all
-So maybe this just might, start to change your mind
Suggesting that there might be a chance to change the other person's perspective
From it all
Reiteration of the desire to distance oneself from certain things
From it all
-From it all
