It's True
Longing and Loss: Embracing the Pain in Odds Against Tomorrow's 'It's True'
Lyrics
I wanna make up
I desire reconciliation
Or out
Or physical intimacy
Well either way is fine
Either option is acceptable
And lucky me
Expressing fortunate circumstances
You call it free
You perceive it as freedom
Well I call it a waste of time
I consider it a waste of time
I wish I was with you
Expressing a desire to be with someone
Tonight
Desire to be together tonight
Yeah I wish I was with you
Reiteration of the wish to be with someone
Tonight
Reiterating the desire for companionship tonight
'Cause I'm pathetic
Acknowledging a sense of self-pity
I miss you
Expressing longing for the person
Yes I miss you
Reaffirmation of missing the person
And I'm drowned through
Feeling overwhelmed and affected by emotions
Over you
Emphasizing emotional difficulty in moving on
And the distance that we keep
Referring to the emotional distance in the relationship
Is this the price
Questioning whether the emotional toll is worth it
Or the cost
Considering whether it's a price or a cost
Because I think it's a bit too steep
Perceiving the situation as too challenging
I wish I was with you
Reiteration of the desire to be with someone tonight
Tonight
Expressing the wish to be together tonight
Yeah I wish I was with you
Reaffirmation of the desire to be with someone
Tonight
Reiterating the wish for companionship tonight
'Cause I'm pathetic
Acknowledging a sense of self-pity
I miss you
Expressing longing for the person
Yes I miss you
Reaffirmation of missing the person
And it's true
Asserting a truth
And it's true
Reiteration of a truth
And it's true
Further reiteration of a truth
Oh no
Expressing a realization
That I miss you
Affirmation of missing the person
Well I miss you
Reaffirmation of missing the person
I miss you
Emphasizing the depth of missing the person
I miss you
Reaffirmation of missing the person
And it's true
Assertion of truth
And it's true
Reiteration of a truth
And it's true
Further reiteration of a truth
Oh no no no
Expressing a realization
It's true
Affirmation of a truth
And it's true
Reiteration of a truth
Oh no
Realization of the truth
Oh no
Expression of dismay or regret
No no no
Further expression of dismay or regret
