Australia's Lonelier
Longing Across Continents: Reflections on Lost Love
Lyrics
I wonder if it's still freezing in Tennessee
I wonder if the weather is still cold in Tennessee.
I wonder if you found someone to keep you warm
I wonder if you have found someone to provide the warmth and companionship that I used to offer.
Like me
Reflecting on the possibility of someone else taking my place.
I wonder if the tornado hit your neighborhood
I wonder if a destructive event, like a tornado, has affected your neighborhood.
And finally erased us
Contemplating whether such an event has completely erased any trace of our relationship.
For good
Suggesting a potential permanent end to the connection.
I wonder if your sister's still getting married
Curiosity about the status of your sister's wedding plans, drawing a parallel to another postponed wedding.
Cause Caroline just postponed her wedding
Noting a delay in Caroline's wedding and wondering if it resonates with your sister's situation.
And does your mother still hike up in the woods
Asking if your mother still engages in familiar activities like hiking in the woods.
And has she asked about me
Questioning whether your mother has inquired about me or considers our relationship over.
Or does she think we're done
Wondering if there's a perception that the relationship is definitively ended.
For good
Reiterating the concern about a potential permanent separation.
Australia's Lonelier than I thought
Expressing the feeling that Australia is lonelier than initially expected.
I hide from myself
Acknowledging a tendency to hide from one's own emotions.
But I keep getting caught so I
Despite attempts to conceal emotions, they are frequently revealed.
Close the windows
Closing off external influences by shutting windows.
I lock all the doors
Securing oneself by locking doors.
But nothing keeps me
Despite efforts to isolate, desires persist.
From wanting
Expressing an unfulfilled longing for love.
The love
Referencing a love that is no longer present.
I don't have
Highlighting the absence of love.
Anymore
Emphasizing the lack of love in the current state.
I unblocked you months ago
Revealing the act of unblocking communication channels in the past.
But sometimes I just sit and stare at my phone
Contemplating the act of staring at the phone despite efforts to move on.
And I don't know why I'm surprised
Expressing surprise at the lingering emotions despite advising departure.
I told you to leave
Reflecting on the previous instruction to leave and questioning the absence of expected communication.
But why aren't you calling
Expressing a desire for communication despite the earlier request to leave.
Me
Expressing a longing for a call or contact.
Australia's Lonelier than I thought
Reiteration of the loneliness experienced in Australia, emphasizing the unexpected intensity.
I run from myself
Acknowledging a tendency to run away from oneself.
But I keep getting caught so I
Despite attempts to escape, the emotional entanglement persists.
Close the windows
Repeating the metaphor of closing windows to isolate oneself emotionally.
I lock all the doors
Securing oneself by locking doors to prevent emotional vulnerability.
But nothing stops me
Despite efforts to resist, the desire for love remains.
From wanting
Expressing an unfulfilled longing for love, similar to earlier in the lyrics.
The love
Reiterating the absence of love in the current emotional state.
I don't have
Highlighting the void created by the absence of love.
Anymore
Emphasizing the lack of love experienced currently.
Anymore
Stressing the enduring absence of love.
