Lyrics
I know things are gettin harder
Expressing awareness that life is becoming more challenging.
And I know the days seem longer
Acknowledging the perception that time feels prolonged.
But I know at the end I'll see you
Believing that eventually, there will be a reunion.
And I ain't afraid of whats out there
Displaying fearlessness towards the uncertainties ahead.
Lord knows I've been sayin' my goddamn prayers
Referencing the consistent practice of prayers despite difficulties.
My heart weeps, but not for you
Expressing personal sorrow, not necessarily related to the listener.
Cuz you're stronger than crystal darling
Affirming the listener's strength, comparing it to the durability of crystal.
You shine so bright even when you're fallin'
Highlighting the listener's resilience and radiance during challenging times.
Twisting lights faintly plaster the wall
Describing a visual scene with dim lights reflecting on the wall.
And your sharper than the shards on the ground
Complimenting the listener's sharp and cutting qualities.
You glow so hot even as you come down
Acknowledging the listener's ability to shine brightly despite setbacks.
Cut me, burn me, baby I don't care
Indicating a willingness to endure pain for the listener.
And I know you can stand on your own
Expressing confidence in the listener's independence and strength.
Don't need me to correct your tone
Asserting that the listener doesn't need guidance or correction.
Laugh and act like, we're not already grown
Reflecting on the maturity and adulthood of the relationship.
I know we get depressed
Acknowledging moments of depression in the relationship.
Put my head on your chest
Seeking solace by resting one's head on the listener's chest.
Carry the best twigs straight to your nest
Symbolic gesture of providing the best support and care.
I know things are getting softer
Noticing a softening or mellowing in the environment.
And I know the world moves faster
Observing the fast-paced nature of the world.
But that's the sooner I'm back in bed with you
Anticipating the joy of being together after challenges.
And I'm afraid of the pain that will come
Expressing fear of the pain associated with emotional numbness.
Of my desire to go numb
Admitting a struggle with the desire to avoid feeling.
My heart weeps but not from you
Reiterating personal sorrow, emphasizing it's not caused by the listener.
Cuz you're stronger than crystal darlin'
Reaffirming the listener's strength, likening it to crystal.
You shine so bright even when you're fallin'
Emphasizing the listener's radiant resilience in difficult times.
Twisting lights faintly plaster the wall
Describing a visual scene with twisted lights on the wall.
And your sharper than shards on the ground
Complimenting the listener's sharp and cutting qualities once again.
Glow so hot even as you come down
Highlighting the listener's ability to shine brightly during adversity.
Cut me burn me baby, I don't care
Reiterating a willingness to endure pain for the listener.
Cuz I know you can stand on your own,
Expressing confidence in the listener's independence and strength once more.
