Lyrics
It was something like distance
Reflecting on a sense of distance or separation.
Something like fate in the way
Suggesting a feeling of fate or destiny in the situation.
It was nobody's business
Emphasizing the privacy of the relationship, not for others to meddle in.
No one else cared anyway
Indicating the indifference of others towards the relationship.
It was something like breaking
Describing a situation akin to breaking or falling apart.
Something like falling apart
Highlighting a sense of disintegration or turmoil.
But without you there's nothing
Stressing the importance of the person in maintaining stability.
To keep me from falling too far
Expressing dependence on the person to prevent falling too far.
All those things that we wanted to say
Referring to unspoken words that were left unexpressed.
Got left outside the song some place
Implies that important sentiments were omitted from the narrative.
But it's always been you
Affirming a consistent connection with the person being addressed.
It's always been you
Reiterating the enduring presence of the person in the speaker's life.
Well nothing else mattered
Declaring the paramount significance of the person above everything else.
Nothing else even came close
Asserting that nothing else holds comparable importance.
Even at our worst we carried it better than most
Even in challenging times, the relationship is handled better than most.
All those things that we wanted to say
Revisiting the unspoken sentiments that were lost or unexpressed.
Got drowned in the river, just washed away
Suggesting the loss or disappearance of those unspoken words.
But it's always been you
Reaffirming the enduring connection with the person despite obstacles.
It's always been you
Reiterating the constant presence of the person in the speaker's life.
Put aside the cruel things
Advocating for setting aside harsh or hurtful aspects of the relationship.
And god damn the weddin' rings[?]
A negative view towards traditional symbols of commitment.
Tell me its always been me
Seeking assurance that the person has always been the focus.
All those things that we wanted to say
Revisiting the unexpressed sentiments with a willingness to communicate.
Well give me a chance and I'll say them today
Expressing a desire for a chance to finally articulate those sentiments.
But it's always been you
Affirming the enduring connection with the person despite challenges.
It's always been you
Reiterating the constant presence of the person in the speaker's life.
It's the only thing I've ever knew
Stating that the person is the only consistent thing known to the speaker.
And it's always been you
Reaffirming that the person has always been a significant presence.
