Lyrics
When it's all
Feeling overwhelmed or facing challenges
Comin apart
Experiencing a situation falling apart or becoming difficult
I know you'll still be by my side
Assurance that despite challenges, there's support
Easier days
Referencing past, simpler times
I've had easier days
Expressing current difficulties
I know you'll still be by my side
Reiteration of support despite challenges
Heavy
Sense of burden or emotional weight
It's all feeling too heavy
Intensity of the emotional burden
And you're looking right through me
Feeling unnoticed or overlooked
Can't you see that I’m waiting
Expressing impatience or longing for change
I've got to go my own way
Desire for independence or self-discovery
You've been feeling your own pain
Acknowledgment of the other's struggles
When you look can't you see that
Request for understanding or empathy
I'm falling too
Sharing a sense of falling or struggling
What's wrong with my bed
Issues with rest or finding peace
Can't seem to rest
Struggling with inner thoughts or worries
Keeping it stored up in my head
Internalizing and not expressing concerns
What's wrong with your mouth
Communication difficulties
Can't seem to express
Inability to convey shared issues
What we’ve got stored up in this house
Shared challenges within the relationship
Heavy
Reiteration of emotional weight
It's all feeling too heavy
Continued intensity of emotional burden
And you're looking right through me
Feeling unseen or misunderstood
Can't you see that I’m waiting
Repetition of longing for change
I've got to go my own way
Reiterating the need for independence
You've been feeling your own pain
Acknowledging the partner's struggles
When you look can't you see that
Request for understanding the shared pain
I'm falling too
Reiteration of the feeling of falling or struggling
Oh
Expressing a moment of realization or insight
and we held it
Possibly referring to holding onto something significant
In this greenhouse of ours
Metaphorical reference to a shared, intimate space
This greenhouse of ours (x2)
Repetition emphasizing the importance of the shared space
Give me a reason
Seeking justification or explanation
That I shouldn’t lie
Mention of a struggle with honesty
I’m looking for courage
Searching for strength or bravery
It’s easier than to try (x2)
Acknowledgment that avoiding difficulty may seem easier
