Lyrics
You say you'll hold me, but it's emptiness I touch
You express affection, but I feel emotional emptiness.
You say you'll call me, but that never helps me much
You promise to call, but it doesn't provide much comfort or assistance.
You send a picture, so that I've something to watch
You share a picture to give me something to observe.
But I'd rather close my eyes
I prefer closing my eyes, perhaps to avoid reality or disappointment.
You watch the sunrise while I'm trying to get to sleep
While I struggle to sleep, you enjoy the sunrise.
Your dinner's ready, when the first light's on my sheet
Your day starts with breakfast while I'm still on my sheet in the early light.
I pray to something, something I don't believe in
I engage in a prayer to something I don't believe in, perhaps out of desperation.
So that I don't lose my head
To prevent losing my sanity, I perform this act of prayer.
Oh come and waste a little time with me
An invitation to spend time together, escaping reality.
Forget about your foreign fantasy
Encouraging to forget about unattainable dreams or desires.
I'm waiting for the siren's song in my head to end
Expressing a longing for relief from the torment in the mind.
So come and waste a little time with me
A repetition of the invitation to waste time together.
My eyes are focused are the ground beneath my feet
Focusing on the ground, possibly feeling grounded or stuck.
My dreams are hopeless, cause at night they're asking me
Hopelessness in dreams that question the state of the relationship.
If we're over, or something in between
Uncertainty about the status of the relationship.
I open up my eyes and bleed
Upon waking, facing harsh reality and emotional pain.
Oh come and waste a little time with me
Reiteration of the invitation to spend time together.
Forget about your foreign fantasy
Encouragement to abandon unattainable fantasies.
I'm waiting for the siren's song in my head to end
Awaiting the end of the mental distress caused by a metaphorical siren's song.
So come and waste a little time with me
Repetition of the invitation, seeking solace from mental turmoil.
Oh just cross the water my love
A plea to overcome obstacles for the sake of love.
Cause I'm drowning my sinking heart
Describing emotional turmoil and heartbreak.
Oh come and waste a little time with me
Reiteration of the invitation, emphasizing the desire for shared time.
Forget about your foreign fantasy
Encouragement to let go of unrealistic fantasies and be present.
I'm waiting for the siren's song in my head to end
A repetition of the longing for relief from mental distress.
So come and waste a little time with me
Closing repetition of the invitation, seeking companionship.
