Lyrics
You're sitting across from that old black crow
You are in the presence of a challenging or ominous situation symbolized by an old black crow.
And I thank God you called me up before he feigned a throw
The speaker appreciates that you reached out before a potential threat or negative action from the situation.
And I know you're wired to not let anybody in
You tend to be guarded and resistant to letting others get close emotionally.
But you must be tired, cause the water's higher than its ever been
Despite your guarded nature, the speaker senses that you might be emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed.
When I hear you speak it ties me up in knots
Your words or communication create inner turmoil for the speaker.
Cause you can barely see what you are for what you're not
You struggle to see yourself objectively, possibly focusing on your flaws rather than recognizing your true worth.
But you gotta dig deep and run with what you got
The speaker encourages you to explore your inner strengths and work with what you have.
Because it's a lot - a lot and a lot.
Despite challenges, you possess a significant amount of potential or qualities.
I know you're finding it hard to out the bottle down
You find it difficult to overcome an addiction or habit associated with alcohol.
Cause there's always a thought that one more drop won't even make a sound
There's a persistent belief that consuming a little more won't have negative consequences.
And you're building a wall of more than mud and stone
You are constructing emotional barriers, more than just physical defenses, to shield yourself when alone.
Cause on the other side, its easier to hide when you're all alone
Being alone on the other side of these barriers feels easier, though it involves hiding true feelings.
When I hear you speak it ties me up in knots
Your words continue to create emotional conflict for the speaker.
Cause you can barely see what you are for what you're not
You struggle to perceive your true self and often mistake your qualities.
But you gotta dig deep and run with what you got
The speaker emphasizes the importance of delving deep into yourself and embracing your existing strengths.
Because it's a lot - a lot and a lot.
Reiterating that you possess a significant amount of potential or qualities despite challenges.
Hold on, keep breathing
An urging to hold on and persevere, emphasizing the importance of breathing through tough times.
Because your heart is still beating
Despite difficulties, your heart is still beating, suggesting resilience and the potential for recovery.
Hold on, time's healing
Time is a healing factor, offering hope for improvement and recovery.
And if you're holding on, I'm holding on
The speaker pledges support, indicating a shared commitment to overcoming challenges together.
When I hear you speak it ties me up in knots
Your words continue to evoke internal conflict for the speaker.
Cause you can barely see what you are for what you're not
You struggle to recognize your true self and often mistake your qualities.
But you gotta dig deep and run with what you got
The speaker reiterates the importance of self-discovery and utilizing your existing strengths.
Because it's a lot - a lot and a lot.
