Lyrics
So much for bravery
Expressing disappointment or resignation after an attempt at bravery.
My pesky fears make it hard to recall
Personal fears are hindering the recall of something significant.
Where I placed it last
Difficulty in remembering the last location of something.
Where I placed it last
Repetition for emphasis on the difficulty of recalling the location.
And I know it's probably more than I should ask for
Acknowledging that the request might be too much but still expressing the need for understanding.
But I need your ears to say what it is you need to hear
Seeking the listener's attention to communicate something important.
Oh, what you need to hear
Reiteration of the importance of what needs to be heard.
I wish that I could just write it down
Expressing a desire to convey thoughts in writing to spare emotional pain.
Save you the pain
Wishing to save the listener from pain through written communication.
But no one writes letters anymore
Commenting on the decline of letter writing in modern times.
I wish that I could just write it down
Repetition of the desire to use writing to alleviate pain.
Save you the pain
Reiterating the wish to save the listener from pain through writing.
But no one writes letters anymore
Highlighting the rarity of letter writing in the contemporary era.
I wish I could sing in another voice
Expressing a desire to present thoughts in a different way, possibly to gain attention.
Maybe then you would listen to this song
Speculating that a different approach, like singing in another voice, might capture the listener's attention.
And I know it simply hasn't crossed your mind
Observing that a particular thought may not have crossed the listener's mind.
But mines been crucified by thoughts like these all the time
Personal struggles with persistent and distressing thoughts.
So if you could just listen up
Requesting the listener's attention to the message carried by the wind.
to the song on the wind
Encouraging the listener to pay attention to a message carried by the wind.
You might catch something
Suggesting that paying attention to the wind may reveal something important.
You would have otherwise missed
Expressing a hope that what is caught is a simple cold, metaphorically representing an easily curable issue.
I hope it's a cold
Repetition for emphasis on the hope for a minor issue.
I hope it's a cold
Reiteration of the hope for a minor issue.
