Lyrics
Lookin back through my diary
Reflecting on past experiences documented in a diary.
I wasn't quite sure who I was trying to be
Uncertain about personal identity and self-discovery.
The best parts were stories of you
Favorable memories revolve around the person being addressed.
The best years I've had were with you
Highlighting the best moments experienced with the addressed person.
I don't always know what I'm supposed to say
Expressing difficulty in finding the right words to say.
But I know what to do, I do it every day
Confident in actions taken consistently every day.
And some things never change
Noting that certain aspects of life remain constant.
Some things never change
Reiterating the idea that some things remain unchanged.
I haven't talked to you in three days
Acknowledging a lapse in communication with the person for three days.
And you know that I'll be up late
Anticipating staying awake late, possibly waiting for a call.
Go ahead and feel free
Encouraging the person to feel free to reach out.
Feel free to call me
Explicit invitation to call at any time.
I know I've made some pretty big mistakes
Admitting significant past mistakes.
Holding on and hoping you don't break my legs
Fearing emotional harm and vulnerability.
Go ahead and feel free
Reiterating the open invitation to call at any time.
Feel free to call me
Explicit invitation to call at any time, repeated.
Before you sleep tonight
Potential reference to the importance of the night.
With you and me there's always possibilities
Highlighting endless possibilities in the relationship.
A hundred thousand dreams of what could be's
Imagining numerous positive outcomes in the future.
The late nights that we used to do
Recalling late-night activities from the past.
Now I try to get home by two
Attempting to prioritize spending time together.
I don't always know what I'm supposed to say
Reiterating the difficulty in expressing oneself verbally.
But I know what to do, I do it every day
Confident in consistent daily actions, repeated.
And some things never change
Reaffirming the idea that some things remain unchanged.
Some things never change
Reiteration of the concept that certain aspects of life remain constant.
I haven't talked to you in three days
Noting another period of no communication for three days.
And you know that I'll be up late
Anticipating staying awake late, repeated.
Go ahead and feel free
Encouraging the person to feel free to reach out, repeated.
Feel free to call me
Explicit invitation to call at any time, repeated.
I know I've made some pretty big mistakes
Admitting past significant mistakes, repeated.
Holding on and hoping you don't break my legs
Fearing emotional harm and vulnerability, repeated.
Go ahead and feel free
Reiterating the open invitation to call at any time, repeated.
Feel free to call me
Explicit invitation to call at any time, repeated.
Before you sleep tonight
Encouraging communication before sleeping.
The moon so full it's bursting - Tonight
Describing a full moon and its potential significance.
It could light up the darkest drive - Tonight
Suggesting the moon's brightness can illuminate the darkest path.
When you find yourself thinking of me - Tonight
Encouraging thoughts about the speaker during the night.
I just need to know you're alive
Expressing a need for assurance of the person's well-being.
I haven't talked to you in three days
Noting another period of no communication for three days, repeated.
And you know that I'll be up late
Anticipating staying awake late, repeated.
So go ahead and feel free
Encouraging the person to feel free to reach out, repeated.
