Lyrics
Shallow, yeah we’re going down
Expressing a sense of depth or difficulty, acknowledging a descent.
But with you it’s not so bad a ride
Despite the challenges, the presence of the person makes the journey more bearable.
I know we’re unraveling
Acknowledging a process of coming apart or falling apart.
Dress it up, ignore it, just this time
Suggesting a tendency to disguise or overlook problems, at least for the moment.
It’s like we’re swimming in the dark, I can’t pull us out
Feeling stuck or lost in a difficult situation.
Holding onto hope till our arms give out
Persisting in hope despite exhaustion or challenges.
Almost believed that we would never sway
Almost convinced that they would remain steadfast.
I need you, I need you, feel you slipping away
Expressing a need for the person, sensing their gradual departure.
I can’t reach you, I can’t
Feeling unable to connect or communicate with the person.
How’d we get here, I don’t understand
Expressing confusion about the current situation and how it came to be.
I can’t leave you, I can’t
Feeling unable to let go of the person.
I’ll be waiting inside this no man’s land
Waiting in a metaphorical place of uncertainty and limbo.
Panic cutting through my mind
Experiencing intense anxiety or fear.
Wanna scream but I can’t find my voice
Desiring to express oneself but feeling unable to do so.
Stranded, lying side by side
Being stranded or stuck in a challenging situation together.
But I’d drown with you given the choice
Willing to face difficulties with the person, even if it leads to negative consequences.
It’s like we’re swimming in the dark, I can’t pull us out
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped or lost.
Holding onto hope till our arms give out
Continuing to hold onto hope despite physical and emotional exhaustion.
Almost believed that we would never sway
Almost convinced that the relationship or situation would remain stable.
I need you, I need you, feel you slipping away
Reiterating the need for the person and sensing their gradual departure.
I can’t reach you, I can’t
Expressing the inability to connect or bridge the emotional gap.
How’d we get here, I don’t understand
Expressing confusion about how the current situation came to be.
I can’t leave you, I can’t
Feeling unable to let go of the person emotionally.
I’ll be waiting inside this no man’s land
Waiting in a state of emotional limbo.
I can’t reach you, I can’t
Reiterating the difficulty in connecting with the person.
How’d we get here, I don’t understand
Expressing confusion about the origins of the current situation.
I can’t leave you, I can’t
Continuing to feel emotionally attached and unable to let go.
I’ll be waiting inside this no man’s land
Waiting in a persistent state of uncertainty.
I can’t reach you, I can’t
Reiterating the struggle to connect emotionally.
How’d we get here, I don’t understand
Expressing confusion about the circumstances leading to the present state.
I can’t leave you, I can’t
Feeling emotionally unable to move on or let go.
I’ll be waiting inside this no man’s land
Persisting in waiting within a state of emotional limbo.
