Lyrics
Wasting time and dreaming along
Expressing a sense of idleness and daydreaming.
Caught me cooking stones
Caught in a situation where the speaker feels deceived or misled.
Changed my life when you appeared
Someone significant entered the speaker's life, bringing change.
I knew it wasn't wrong
Despite the change, the speaker felt it was a positive and justified shift.
Maybe I don't understand
Uncertainty or confusion about the purpose or expectations.
What we're waiting for
Confusion regarding the anticipation of an event or outcome.
Not unless so far, far away
A sense of being distant or detached, possibly physically or emotionally.
Do you see it now like I do
Asking if the other person perceives the situation similarly.
Still so far away from you
Despite time passing, there is still a considerable distance from the other person.
Taking on more chance, again
Taking risks once more, perhaps in the pursuit of a connection.
This time is my own pretend
The speaker acknowledges that this time, the situation is a product of their own imagination or desire.
In this life it seems to me
Reflecting on life, the speaker feels destined to be alone.
I have to be alone
Expressing the need to say goodbye and be in solitude.
Say goodnight and close my eyes
Symbolic act of ending the day and seeking solace in sleep.
And wait for evermore
A sense of waiting indefinitely for something.
Maybe I don't understand

Far away away

Still so far away from you

This time is my own to pretend
