Lyrics
What if I watched your life from the nosebleeds
Contemplating observing someone's life passively, from a distant and detached perspective.
Would you see me seeing you from afar
Questioning if the person being observed would notice the watcher's distant presence.
No daily greetings, just my own private grievances
Expressing a lack of regular greetings, focusing on personal concerns and grievances.
My presence like a feather on your pressure points, it’s subtle but stark
Comparing the watcher's influence to a subtle but noticeable force on the person being observed.
What if I took a ride on the subway
Considering the possibility of traveling in a way that avoids places associated with the person.
Avoiding places that feel like yours
Intention to stay within boundaries and avoid areas that evoke memories of the person.
I’d stay in my lane, weighed down by discipline
Expressing self-discipline and emotional restraint despite being emotionally affected.
I’m not near you but I hear you in the traffic and creaks in the floor
Acknowledging physical distance but remaining connected through sounds associated with the person.
So is it better with a little than none at all?
Raising a question about whether having some connection is better than none at all.
Keeping you in my system, constantly reminding me you’re gone
Admitting to keeping memories of the person in one's thoughts consistently.
Constantly reminding me your gone
Reiterating the constant reminder of the absence of the person.
What if I watched your life from the nosebleeds
Repeating the idea of watching someone's life from a distant perspective.
(hard enough to let you go so I can’t give it up just yet)
Expressing difficulty in letting go, emphasizing the challenge of moving on.
Just snapshot clips of times you’d like to have more
Describing fragmented memories and moments that one wishes to have more of.
(I wanna know who you know, the names of all of your new friends)
Expressing curiosity about the person's new connections and relationships.
I’d draw conclusions, come up as meaningless
Anticipating drawing conclusions that might ultimately feel meaningless.
All the big bright lights obscure me it’s all blurry and hard to keep score
Feeling obscured and confused by bright lights, making it challenging to make sense of the situation.
So is it better with a little than none at all?
Reflecting on whether having a partial connection is preferable to complete detachment.
Keeping you in my system, constantly reminding me you’re gone
Acknowledging the persistent reminder of the person's absence within one's thoughts.
Constantly reminding me your gone
Reiterating the continuous impact of the person's absence on the observer.
This time I know I’ll say goodbye
Expressing a determination to say goodbye this time, possibly indicating acceptance and closure.
This time that’s all I’ll say
Emphasizing that saying goodbye is the only message the speaker intends to convey this time.
This time I know I’ll say goodbye
Repeating the resolution to say goodbye, suggesting a finality to the emotional struggle.
This time that’s all I’ll say
Reiterating the simplicity of the farewell message, underscoring the commitment to closure.
This time I know I’ll say goodbye

This time that’s all I’ll say
Stressing that the only communication this time will be the act of saying goodbye.
