Lyrics
I have gone from four to one in the past seven months
I have experienced a significant reduction in the number of important elements or aspects of my life from four to one within the last seven months.
And I can't afford to lose anymore
I cannot afford to lose anything else.
But I will keep you company until you go to sleep
I am willing to provide companionship to you until you fall asleep.
Because you've been everything good to me
You have been everything positive or beneficial to me.
Father, tell us all where you found her
A plea or inquiry to the father figure to reveal where "she" was found, possibly referring to a person or a significant element in life.
Since the day the pattern formed in December
Refers to a specific time when a pattern or significant event was established in December.
The math doesn't add up or match with the language
An acknowledgment that the logic or calculations do not align or correspond with the language used in books or statements made.
Of books that I've read or things that you said
A discrepancy between learned knowledge and personal experiences.
I'll leave this with the darker night I carried you inside
A commitment to leave a challenging situation with the darkness of the night when support was provided.
And I know that it will find me in time
An expectation that the difficulty or challenge will catch up or affect the person in due time.
You were too small I should have known not to leave you alone
A realization that something important or vulnerable was left unattended due to its small size.
The morning it told me
A revelation in the morning that advises taking and accepting whatever is available in life and living with it until the end.
You take what you can get and you die with it
An acceptance of limited opportunities and circumstances, acknowledging that one must live with what is obtained.
Father, tell us all where you found her
A repetition of the plea or inquiry to the father figure to disclose where "she" was found.
Since the day the pattern formed in December
A reaffirmation of the establishment of a pattern or significant event in December related to the subject being discussed.
Father, tell us all where you found her
A repeated plea or inquiry to the father figure about the origin or discovery of "her" since the established pattern in December.
Since the day the pattern formed in December
A reiteration of the significance of the December pattern in relation to the subject being discussed.
