Lyrics
You go on ahead, honey
You go forward while I stay behind, enjoy yourself
You have a good time there
Have a good experience in that place
You make me feel funny
You evoke unusual emotions in me
I'm no ordinary lover or friend
I'm not a typical partner or friend
I believe we have things to do
I believe there are tasks we must accomplish
I believe in myself and I believe in you
I have faith in myself and in you
I believe when I sleep you are near to me
I feel your presence when I sleep
When you sleep I am near to you
When you sleep, I feel close to you
You walk out of the room with your hands so deep in your pockets,
You leave with your hands in your pockets, I don't recognize you
I don't recognize you
I don't identify with the person you seem to be
You say you're a ghost in our house and I realize
You claim to be a ghost in our home, making me question your authenticity
I do think I see through you
I suspect I can see through your facade
So, you go on ahead, honey
Reiteration of encouragement to move forward
You have a good time there
Encouraging someone to enjoy themselves in their absence
You make me feel funny
Their actions create an unusual feeling in me
I'm no ordinary lover or friend
Emphasis on not conforming to typical relationship roles
It's death in our love that has brought us here
Death of love has led to the current situation
It's a birth that has changed our lives
A significant change has affected our lives
It's a place that I hope we'll be leaving soon
Hoping to leave a troubling place soon
And I fear for the year in his eyes
Expressing concern for the passing of time
And it goes around in circles
Life's circumstances seem to repeat cyclically
One night is lovely, the next is brutal
Varied experiences alternate between pleasant and harsh
And you and me are in way over our heads with this one
Feeling overwhelmed by a challenging situation together
It's hard to admit it
Difficult to acknowledge
But you hold me and I can't feel you
Physical closeness doesn't bring emotional connection
We hurt but we smile
We experience pain but try to show happiness
I promise I'll make it back when the summer has warmed me awhile
A promise to return after finding personal warmth and comfort
You go on ahead, honey
Reiteration of encouragement to move forward
You have a good time there
Encouragement to enjoy oneself in absence
You make me feel funny
Their actions evoke unusual feelings in me
I'm no ordinary lover or friend
Stressing non-conformity in relationships
I believe we have things to do
Belief in tasks that need to be accomplished
I believe in myself and I believe in you
Belief in oneself and the other person
I believe when I sleep you are near to me
Feeling of closeness during sleep
When you sleep I am near to you
Mutual feeling of closeness during sleep
