Rabbit in Your Headlights
Lost Paths and Broken Vows: Unraveling the Rabbit in Your Headlights
Lyrics
I didn't want it to be this way
Unwillingness for the situation to unfold in this manner
Broken seams have given me away
Revealing flaws or weaknesses that were previously hidden
We both laughed at first
Initially found humor in the situation
Now we're both just a little hurt
Both parties are now experiencing emotional pain
We wouldn't do those things we'd say
Contradiction between actions and spoken words
Or let the anger give us away
Trying not to let anger become apparent
A little piece of me is grown inside of you
A part of the speaker is now a part of the other person
And a thousand times before
Repeated attempts to change oneself for someone else
I tried to make myself more
Striving to conform to the other person's expectations
Of who you wanted me to be
Struggling to match the desired image
And if we weren't so young
If they were more mature, the relationship might have succeeded
We could have made it work
The chance to salvage the relationship is lost
But it's all gone wrong wrong wrong
The situation has gone severely astray
And if we weren't so blind
Lacking insight or awareness caused missed opportunities
We could have seen the light in the tunnel
Potential for redemption or resolution, overlooked
But it's all gone wrong wrong
The situation has gone severely astray (repeated)
I'm the rabbit in your headlights
Feeling trapped or paralyzed in a threatening situation
The face you remember
Being a memorable presence, despite the pain
I am the drop in your ocean
Symbolizing the final remaining part of something significant
The last burning ember
The enduring mark or memory in a vast experience
I am the thoughts in your head
Occupying someone's thoughts in moments of restlessness
When you can't sleep at night
The lingering thoughts causing insomnia or unease
And you just can't forget
Unable to erase the memory or impact
The rabbit in your headlights
Being a haunting presence in someone's thoughts
I'm the rabbit in your headlights
Reinforcement of the idea of being an unforgettable, haunting presence
The face you remember
-I am the drop in your ocean
-The last burning ember
-I am the thoughts in your head
-When you can't sleep at night
-And you just can't forget
-The rabbit in your headlights
-And you just can't forget
-The rabbit in your headlights
-No you just can't forget
-The rabbit in your headlights
