Lyrics
I used to sort of be ashamed to be myself
Feelings of shame and discomfort about being oneself in the past.
I used to sort of try and hide and try and act like someone else
Past attempts to hide true identity and imitate others.
I used to sit alone and cry sometimes and curse my own reflection, how sad
Loneliness, occasional crying, and self-criticism reflecting inner struggles.
Hearing laughter through the walls, it can't all be that bad
Questioning the severity of personal struggles by hearing laughter around.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
Exploring the concept that being away can intensify emotional connections.
When we first met, it felt like we'd been friends for so much longer
Expressing a strong sense of familiarity and comfort upon initial meeting.
You were hanging at the snooker club and you were acting kind of hyper
Describing a specific setting at the snooker club with hyper behavior.
You said you'd met the ghosts of Maya Angelou and Rowdy Roddy Piper
Mentioning encounters with supernatural figures, Maya Angelou and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
It's like a cloud was hanging over me until the day we texted for the first time
Highlighting a transformative moment when communication began, bringing brightness.
And the world just got a little brighter
Emphasizing the positive impact of connecting and communicating for the first time.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
Reiterating the idea that absence strengthens emotional bonds.
When we first met it felt like we'd been friends for so much longer
Recalling the initial meeting and the strong sense of pre-existing friendship.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
Repeating the notion that absence enhances the depth of emotional connection.
When we first met, it felt like we'd been friends for so much longer
Reiterating the immediate sense of deep connection during the first encounter.
When we first met, it felt like we'd been friends for so much longer
Stressing the enduring feeling of a long-standing friendship from the start.
So much longer
Repeating the idea of an extended duration of friendship established from the beginning.
So much longer
Emphasizing the lasting nature of the friendship formed at the first meeting.
So much longer
Highlighting the enduring and profound quality of the established friendship.
