Lyrics
Tuesday I was mourning the end
Tuesday symbolizes a time of sadness or loss; mourning the end of something.
Kyoto I remember these things
Reflecting on memories from Kyoto, suggesting nostalgia or a yearning for the past.
No bother, no warning so we pretend
No clear signals or warnings, leading to a pretense or make-believe scenario.
Sunset by the lakeside where we were spent
Recalling a moment by the lakeside during sunset, possibly a significant or emotional experience.
I'm asking are you really a friend?
Questioning the authenticity of a friendship, feeling the need for caution and defensiveness.
Cos I'm on eggshells, my stranger in defence
Feeling fragile or vulnerable in the relationship with a stranger.
We're in hotel rooms apart but we pretend
Being physically separated in hotel rooms, maintaining a facade of normalcy while acknowledging an inevitable end.
And we both know somehow all this will end
Awareness of the eventual conclusion of the situation.
And I'm not saying I'm your perfect fit
Not claiming to be a perfect match but expressing vulnerability to emotional harm.
But if you break me, you'll squeeze me in
Warning that breaking trust will have a profound impact.
Why won't you ever invite me in?
Yearning for inclusion and intimacy, feeling excluded or rejected.
But you make me follow and count my sins
Being compelled to follow, facing consequences for perceived wrongs.
And faster than a bullet we went
Speeding through life, possibly recklessly, facing mortality.
Are we there yet? Doesn't matter cos we're dead
Acknowledging the inevitability of death regardless of the current situation.
And it was too late your disguise was so unfair
Realizing too late the deception of someone, possibly in a relationship.
Cos i was blinded by the colours in the air
Blinded by the allure of the moment, ignoring warning signs.
And afterall, well I gave you this city
Giving a significant part of oneself to another person, possibly a city metaphorically.
And I don't deserve you
Feeling undeserving of the relationship, regretting past actions.
I lost it all
Experiencing a loss or failure, possibly related to the relationship.
It's on my head
Taking responsibility for the consequences, feeling guilt or remorse.
And if I saved you once, I'll save you again
Expressing a willingness to help or save the other person again.
If you just call me, I won't turn away
Openness to reconciliation if the other person reaches out.
I won't take all the blame
Refusing to shoulder all the blame, emphasizing shared responsibility.
I said I was sorry
Apologizing for past actions, expressing remorse.
For the part I played
Acknowledging fear and vulnerability in the role played in the relationship.
I was so afraid
Expressing intense fear experienced in the relationship.
Well say what you say
Encouraging the other person to speak their truth.
You know that I'm sorry
Reiterating apologies and remorse for the role played in the relationship.
For the part I played
Acknowledging a limited understanding of the situation, focusing on personal experience.
It's all I know
Expressing a sense of closure or resignation, as if the played part is all the person knows.
