Lyrics
We were wrapped
We were enveloped in something.
In the warmth
Immersed in the comforting embrace.
Of a day dream
Within the illusion of a pleasant daydream.
Like a newborn
Similar to a new life, innocent and vulnerable.
Sound asleep
Deeply asleep, unaware.
Til someone pulled the sheets away
Until an external force disrupted our peace.
We were cool
We were comfortable in a state of indifference.
In the shade
Sheltered by the coolness of not pursuing anything.
Of ambition
In the shadow of potential achievements.
Of what could be made
Possibilities created by desire but exhausting.
By desire made us tired
Weary from the efforts of longing.
And wishing never got us well
Wishing alone did not bring us improvement.
Well
Reiteration of the previous sentiment.
And now I lie awake
Currently, I am unable to sleep peacefully.
Most nights
Most nights, facing restlessness.
Wishing I could cut these tethers
Desiring freedom from emotional ties.
If I could sleep
If I could achieve peaceful sleep.
Well then I could dream
Then, my dreams would be more constructive.
I’d dream of ways to sleep forever
Envisioning ways to escape the trials of life.
I’ll lie and wait
Waiting for a significant event to happen.
For the world to end
Anticipating the end of the world.
Never mind (Never mind)
Disregard.
My strange hesitation (Every time)
My unusual reluctance every time.
As you plot out the days
While planning for the future.
Still ahead
Ahead of us, the upcoming days.
How I dread
Feeling apprehension and fear.
Breaking your heart again
Concerned about causing you emotional pain.
It’s not you
It's not about you.
That I can’t
It's not that I can't.
Quite imagine
Difficulty picturing.
For the first dance
In the context of the first dance.
It is me
It's about me.
I don’t see
I lack the vision or motivation.
Making it to dance with you
To make it to the dance with you.
You
You, the person addressed.
Cuz now I lie awake
Similar sentiment as in line 16.
Most nights
Frequent longing for a release from ties.
Wishing I could cut these tethers
If only sleep could sever emotional bonds.
If I could sleep
If I could achieve restful sleep.
Well then I could dream
Dreaming of solutions to endure indefinitely.
I’d dream of ways to sleep forever
Imagining ways to escape the challenges permanently.
I’d lie and wait
Waiting for a significant event to happen, again.
For the world to end
Anticipating the end of the world, again.
If I could only be holy again
If only I could be pure or sacred once more.
If I could only be whole again
If only I could be complete and undivided again.
If I could only begin again
If only I could start anew.
