Embracing Incomplete Longings
Lyrics
I saw the end of my world
I witnessed the end of my world.
On a Thursday afternoon
It happened on a Thursday afternoon.
I wasn't burning in a fire, just a pressure in my chest
I wasn't in a literal fire, but I felt pressure in my chest.
Hasn't expired, a pain with no release
The pain hasn't expired, and there's no relief.
Could've sworn I was alright
I thought I was okay.
Could've sworn that it was nothing
I believed it was nothing significant.
I could've sworn that I had never in my life, ever had a doubt in my mind
I never doubted in my life, never had a doubt in my mind.
That tomorrow I'd see you smile, tomorrow I'd see your face
I expected to see you smile tomorrow, to see your face.
Am I out of my mind if tomorrow seems far away?
Wondering if it's crazy that tomorrow feels distant.
But why is it so hard to breath?
Questioning why breathing is so difficult.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Repetition of the difficulty in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Continued emphasis on the struggle to breathe.
Why is it so hard to breath, to breath, to breath?
Repeating the difficulty in breathing.
Guess I could say I found out my biggest fear
Realizing the biggest fear is to be forever incomplete.
And that's the fear to be forever incomplete
Acknowledging that the fear is the fear of incompleteness.
Guess I could say that you're the one thing I need
Expressing that the person is the one thing needed.
I need you always with me
Affirmation of the constant need for the person.
I could've sworn I was alright
Thoughts of being okay return.
I could've sworn that it was nothing
Belief that it was nothing significant returns.
Could've sworn that I had never in my life, ever had a doubt in my mind
No doubt in the mind, as usual.
That tomorrow I'd see you smile, tomorrow I'd see your face
Expectation of seeing a smile and your face tomorrow.
Am I out of my mind if tomorrow seems far away?
Questioning sanity if tomorrow feels distant.
But why is it so hard to breath?
Reiterating the difficulty in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Continued emphasis on the struggle to breathe.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Repeating the difficulty in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath, to breath, to breath?
Repetition of the challenge in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Asking again why breathing is difficult.
Of all the faces that'll always surround me
Not losing sight of the faces around, especially yours.
I'll never lose sight of yours
A commitment to keeping your face in sight.
I can't leave you behind so don't leave me behind
Expressing the inability to leave you behind.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Repeating the question about the difficulty in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Emphasizing the ongoing challenge in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Repeating the difficulty in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath, to breath, to breath?
Reiteration of the challenge in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Once again questioning why breathing is difficult.
Mm, why is it so hard to breath?
A subtle hum emphasizing the struggle to breathe.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Repeating the question about the difficulty in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath, to breath, to breath?
Continued emphasis on the ongoing challenge in breathing.
Why is it so hard to breath?
Final repetition of the question about the difficulty in breathing.
