Lyrics
I miss you now
I feel a longing for you at this moment
I guess like I should have missed you then
I realize I should have felt this longing for you in the past
My body moves
My body moves in a way reminiscent of curtains swaying in the wind
Like curtains waving in and out of wind
Describing the motion of the body with a visual metaphor
In and out of windows
Describes the movement in and out of windows, possibly symbolizing emotional openness
I can't untangle (I can't untangle)
Expressing difficulty in understanding and separating emotions
What I feel and what would matter most
The challenge of distinguishing between emotions and priorities
I can't close an eye (I can't close an eye)-lid
Difficulty in shutting one's eyes or avoiding a situation
Now there's just no point
There seems to be no purpose in seeking connection or understanding from me
In reaching out for me
Emphasizes emotional distance and the difficulty of reaching out
In the dark (I'm in the dark)
Describing a state of emotional darkness or confusion
I'm just no good at giving relief
Admits inadequacy in providing comfort or relief to others
In the dark (I'm in the dark)
Reiterates the challenge of finding relief in difficult situations
It won't be easy to find relief
Highlighting the difficulty of finding solace or comfort
And I'm not proud (and I'm not proud)
Acknowledges a lack of pride in oneself
That nothing will seem easy about me
Nothing about the speaker seems easy or straightforward
But I promise this
Makes a promise related to the following lines
I won't go my whole life
Committing not to spend the entire life pretending not to need someone
Telling you I don't need
Rejecting the idea of not needing the other person
I'll tell you now
Expressing a realization or acknowledgment
I guess like I should have told you then
Reflecting on missed opportunities to express feelings
The thunder moves
Describing the movement of thunder with a simile
Like damn drawers slamming in my frame
Comparing the movement of thunder to the slamming of drawers, suggesting a jarring impact
Slamming in my framework
Repetition of the impact on the speaker's emotional framework
I can't untangle (I can't untangle)
Continued difficulty in understanding and separating emotions
What I know and what should matter most
The struggle between knowledge and what should be prioritized emotionally
I can't close an eye (I can't close an eye)-lid
Difficulty in closing one's eyes or avoiding the emotional impact
Now there's just no point
No apparent reason to seek connection or understanding from the other person
In reaching out for you
Emphasizes the emotional distance and challenges of reaching out
In the dark (I'm in the dark)
Reiteration of being in a state of emotional darkness or confusion
I'm just no good at giving relief
Continued admission of inadequacy in providing relief to others
In the dark (I'm in the dark)
Reiterates the difficulty of finding relief in challenging situations
It won't be easy to find relief
Emphasizes the ongoing challenge of finding solace or comfort
And I'm not proud (and I'm not proud)
Reiteration of a lack of pride in oneself
That nothing will seem easy about me
Continued acknowledgment that nothing about the speaker seems easy
But I promise this
Reiterates the promise made in line 18
(I promise this)
Repeating the promise to not spend the entire life pretending not to need someone
I won't go my whole life
Reaffirming the rejection of the idea of not needing the other person
(I promise this)
Repetition of the promise made in lines 18 and 39
Telling you I don't need
Repeating the commitment not to spend the entire life pretending not to need someone
(I promise this)
Final repetition of the rejection of the idea of not needing the other person
