Shot in the Air
Letting Go: Dreams Lost in the Air
Lyrics
I have tons of things I wanted you to know
I have numerous things I wanted to share with you
I've written tons of letters in my head that make me feel whole
I've composed numerous letters in my mind that bring me a sense of completeness
But you disappoint me a lot
However, you consistently let me down
And make my dreams feel like a shot in the air
And you make my aspirations feel futile, like a missed opportunity
Shot in the air
Reiterating the feeling of disappointment and missed opportunities
Somehow you make all your decisions wrong
It seems you consistently make wrong decisions
I tried to make you see, I tried to help, I tried to hold on
I attempted to make you understand, to assist, to endure
But you disappoint me a lot
Yet, you continually let me down
And make my dreams feel like a shot in the air
And you make my dreams feel insignificant, like a missed chance
Shot in the air
Reiterating the feeling of disappointment and missed opportunities
So I'm letting go of you
Therefore, I am releasing my attachment to you
Cause I've lost my dignity right on cue
Because I've lost my self-respect exactly when expected
Letting go of you
Letting go of the connection with you
And I might gain a little control back from you
And I might regain a semblance of control over my life from you
You, you, you
Repetition emphasizing the impact of the person
Now that you're a million miles away
Now that you are far away, it feels like our shared experiences were unreal
It feels like our whole world didn't happen
It seems like the distance has erased our entire world
As though the distance washed it away
Expressing the sense of loss and distance
And you disappoint me a lot
Once again expressing disappointment in the person
And make my dreams feel like a shot in the air
And you make my dreams feel insignificant, like a missed chance
Shot in the air
Reiterating the feeling of disappointment and missed opportunities
So I'm letting go of you
Therefore, I am releasing my attachment to you
Cause I've lost my dignity right on cue
Because I've lost my self-respect exactly when expected
Letting go of you
Letting go of the connection with you
And I might gain a little control back from you
And I might regain a semblance of control over my life from you
You, you, you
Repetition emphasizing the impact of the person
You, you, you
-You
