Would You Still Be There
Redemption Echoes: A Plead to Rewind Love's Undoing
Lyrics
If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
If the speaker could express their feelings and influence the world
If I could turn back time would you still be there?
Wondering if the past could be changed, would the person still be present
I can't stop thinking about the way
Reflecting on the regretful way the speaker left someone with no way out
I left you sinking with no escape
Feeling remorse for abandoning someone without a chance to escape
Now there's no lifeline, no way to save
Describing a situation with no hope or rescue available
But maybe next time I won't throw it all away
Expressing a desire to not repeat the same mistakes in the future
I ask myself everyday
Continuously questioning oneself each day
If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
Reiteration of the desire to express feelings and impact the world
If I could turn back time would you still be there (be there)
Pondering if the person would still be present if time could be reversed
If I could find the words to say
If the speaker could find the right words to communicate
If I could shake the world to break you down
Expressing a wish to change the world to bring the person down
Then would you still be there? (Right there)
Questioning whether the person would still be there after such changes
Would you still be there?
Repetition emphasizing the uncertainty of the person's presence
Would you still be there?
-Dislocating, I lie awake
Feeling out of place, unable to sleep
Suffocating in my mistakes
Suffocating in the consequences of past mistakes
I lost my halo when I fell from grace
Lost a sense of purity or goodness due to a fall from grace
But maybe next time I won't throw it all away
Expressing hope not to repeat the same mistakes in the future
I ask myself everyday
Continued self-reflection as a daily practice
If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
Reiteration of the desire to express feelings and impact the world
If I could turn back time would you still be there (be there)
Pondering if the person would still be present if time could be reversed
If I could find the words to say
If the speaker could find the right words to communicate
If I could shake the world to break you down
Expressing a wish to change the world to bring the person down
Then would you still be there? (Right there)
Questioning whether the person would still be there after such changes
There's no dancing around it
Conveying a struggle, a willingness to confront difficulties but lacking the strength to move on
I'd crawl into the fire, then fan the flames
-And I can't stand it
-But I don't have the strength to burn the page
-If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
Reiteration of the desire to express feelings and impact the world
If I could turn back time would you still be there? (Be there)
Wondering if the person would still be present if time could be reversed
If I could find the words, if I could shake the world
Reiteration of the desire to express feelings and impact the world
If I could turn back time would you still be there (be there)
Pondering if the person would still be present if time could be reversed
If I could find the words to say
If the speaker could find the right words to communicate
If I could shake the world to break you down
Expressing a wish to change the world to bring the person down
Then would you still be there?
Questioning whether the person would still be there after such changes
(Would you still be there?)
Repetition emphasizing the uncertainty of the person's presence
