Lyrics
Why should it take us such a long, long time?
Expressing impatience and questioning the duration of a situation.
Why should we wait?
Questioning the need for waiting, possibly in a relationship or life in general.
How could we form a line?
Reflecting on the difficulty of organizing or maintaining order in a situation.
Well I'm not crying, but the face I'm in
Denying tears but acknowledging a state of emotional discomfort.
It sees indifference as a mortal sin
Seeing indifference as a significant wrongdoing or moral flaw.
It's not as if I knew
Expressing lack of foresight or anticipation of a particular outcome.
That this would come, and come so soon
Surprised by an unexpected event that arrived sooner than expected.
No, of course I'm not about to change
Asserting resistance to change despite the circumstances.
But everytime the lights go out
Associating the darkness (lights going out) with thoughts of a specific person.
All I ever see is you.
Revealing that thoughts during darkness are dominated by a specific person.
Something I would change but I don't know how
Expressing a desire to change something but feeling unsure of how to do so.
And I play quiet to the house I'm in
Playing quietly and possibly introspectively within the confines of a space.
It's in this silence that these things begin to bend
Highlighting the start of significant developments or changes in the silence.
To turn around
Suggesting a turning point or shift in direction.
It makes more sense, without the sound
Contemplating the situation without the distractions of noise.
It's everthing my head can't hold
Acknowledging overwhelming thoughts that are difficult to contain.
Questions I refuse to ask
Refusing to ask certain questions, possibly to avoid uncomfortable truths.
The things I wish I'd done by now
Expressing regret for not accomplishing certain things by now.
Things that should've long since passed
Reflecting on missed opportunities and events that should have concluded.
And please don't leave right now
Pleading for someone not to leave at this moment.
I couldn't bear it
Expressing an inability to endure the idea of separate lives when unity is possible.
To live our seperate lives, when we could share it
Desiring to share life rather than live separately.
And I know it's never been like that
Acknowledging that the current state of affairs is not typical.
But everytime the lights go out
Reiterating the association of darkness with thoughts of a specific person.
I hope that you will finally see
Expressing hope that, in the darkness, the person will realize the need for change.
That things are gonna change but they won't right now
Acknowledging the anticipation of change but recognizing it won't happen immediately.
