Lyrics
I took a bet when I was young about the love that was to come
Took a risk in my youth anticipating future love.
And now I find I'm filled with eyes that lock on just everything but
Feeling overwhelmed by attention from all directions but not the one desired.
I feel it in the night on all my sides
Sensing pressure and challenges from various aspects of life during the night.
The grip I hold on all outside my life
The control I have over my external surroundings.
I feel it when you lie
Intuition about deception or dishonesty.
Now something happens when I step out
Change or transformation when stepping out into the world.
Concrete loving mouths shout
Expression of love or affection from solid, tangible sources.
Outstretched just to give
People reaching out with offerings or burdens.
All they place upon me
Accepting responsibilities and expectations placed upon oneself.
And something happens when I sit down
Change or transformation when sitting down.
Cracks in floors will let out
Revealing vulnerabilities or weaknesses.
Take me to a room where they'll forget about me
Desiring isolation or escape from others' attention.
So now I just can't believe
Disbelief in a situation or a desire to release emotions.
I wanna let go
Wanting to let go of something.
Yeah now I just can't believe
Continued disbelief or struggle to accept a situation.
I lost a friend inside a rug that I had rolled when I was gone
Regret about losing a friend or connection symbolized by a rolled-up rug.
It was a while before I sat and realized the obvious
A realization of a loss that took time to acknowledge.
I felt it in the night on all my sides
Sensing burdens and responsibilities during the night.
The weight of all the times I didn't try
The heaviness of missed opportunities or unfulfilled attempts.
I felt it as I lied
Felt the weight of lies or deception.
Now something happens when I step out
Change or transformation when stepping out, repeated emphasis.
Concrete loving mouths shout
Expression of love or affection from tangible sources, repeated emphasis.
Outstretched just to give
People extending themselves to contribute or influence.
All they place upon me
Accepting and dealing with what others impose.
And something happens when I sit down
Change or transformation when sitting down, repeated emphasis.
Cracks in floors will let out
Revealing vulnerabilities or weaknesses, repeated emphasis.
Take me to a room where they'll forget about me
Desire for isolation or escape from attention, repeated emphasis.
Now something happens when I step out
Continued change or transformation when stepping out.
Concrete loving mouths shout
Repeated expression of love or affection from tangible sources.
Outstretched just to give
People extending themselves to contribute or influence, repeated emphasis.
All they place upon me
Continuing to accept and deal with what others impose.
And something happens when I sit down
Continued change or transformation when sitting down.
Cracks in floors will let out
Repeated revelation of vulnerabilities or weaknesses.
Take me to a room where they'll forget about me
Desire for isolation or escape from attention, repeated emphasis.
