Moving Away
Navigating Love's Storm: Megan McCormick's Moving Away
Lyrics
You can make yourself a paper plane
You can create something fragile like a paper plane.
But it won't fly in the pouring rain
However, it won't withstand challenges, like flying in the pouring rain.
If you're moving away there's a price you will pay
Moving away comes with consequences, a metaphorical price to pay.
For flying away
There are repercussions for choosing to fly away.
I can take a hit
The speaker can endure difficulties.
I can get over it
They can overcome challenges.
I can find a new love too
The speaker can find new love after a breakup.
You don't hear me when I say your name
The partner seems indifferent when the speaker mentions their name.
But you won't find anybody else to blame
The partner can't blame anyone else for their situation.
If you're hearing the sound with your feet on the ground
A realization that signals the end of the relationship.
You know it is the end
The speaker has the ability to obtain a car.
I can get the car
The speaker can drive away, distancing themselves from the partner.
I can drive so far
Implies finding the partner in a distressed situation.
Drive so far away from you
The partner expresses apathy and a desire to move on.
If I find you on a sinking ship
Facing fear and the slow passage of time when alone.
And you say fuck it, you say you're over it
An offer to provide comfort and ease the partner's mind.
Fight the fear as it grows, time is moving so slow
Suggesting the speaker can be a positive influence or solution.
You're there all alone
Reference to the transient nature of life and existence.
I could ease your mind
Encouraging the partner to release and move on.
I could throw you a line
Offering assistance and support to the partner.
I could be your dream come true
The speaker can fulfill the partner's dreams.
There's a world out there
Highlighting the vast possibilities beyond the current situation.
We come and go out of thin air
Life's transient nature, with experiences appearing and disappearing.
Stars and dust will become you
A poetic depiction of the eventual return to cosmic elements.
Let go, let go, let go, let go
Repetition of "Let go" emphasizes the importance of moving on and releasing.
Let go, let go, let go, let go
-Let go, let go, let go, let go
-Let go, let go, let go, let go
