Walking on Water
Navigating Love's Depths: Unveiling the Hidden Currents in Matt Cardle's 'Walking on Water'
Lyrics
Don’t say it’s over
Expressing a desire or plea for the relationship not to end.
Don’t breathe a word
Emphasizing the need for silence or discretion about the situation.
How was I so oblivious?
Reflecting on a lack of awareness or understanding of the problems in the relationship.
I didn’t see how we got so deep down
Realizing the depth of the issues that have arisen in the relationship.
When we were walking on water for so long
Recalling a time when the relationship felt effortless and blissful.
I didn’t notice the waves crashing over
Acknowledging a failure to notice the problems that eventually arose.
I thought we were sailing somewhere
Believing that the relationship was progressing positively.
When did we start going under?
Questioning when the decline in the relationship began.
Now I see your colours
Recognizing the true nature or character of the partner.
And now I hear your truths
Being exposed to the partner's honest and perhaps painful revelations.
I need something to pull us outta here
Expressing a need for something to rescue the relationship.
If we could get back up to the surface
Desiring a return to a better, more positive state in the relationship.
Tell me could it be
Seeking reassurance or confirmation that the relationship can be salvaged.
Like we were walking on water for so long
Revisiting memories of a harmonious and enjoyable phase in the relationship.
I didn’t notice the waves crashing over
Acknowledging the disruptive challenges that were not initially perceived.
I thought we were sailing somewhere
Maintaining the belief that the relationship was heading in a positive direction.
When did we start going under, under?
Questioning when the relationship started to deteriorate.
'Cause you made me wanna fight
Attributing a renewed sense of determination or motivation to the partner.
'Cause I found something to believe in
Finding a source of belief or inspiration in the partner.
You made me who I am
Acknowledging the influence of the partner on one's identity.
And it’s so hard to see how
Expressing difficulty in understanding the current state of the relationship.
We’re so deep down
Highlighting the depth of the problems that have emerged.
When we were walking on water for so long
Revisiting the positive memories of the relationship's earlier stages.
I didn’t notice the waves crashing over
Admitting a failure to notice the impending challenges.
I thought we were sailing somewhere
Maintaining the belief that the relationship had a positive trajectory.
When did we start going under?
Questioning when the decline in the relationship began, reiterating the theme.
