Lyrics

You say it’s ok if I go now

You express acceptance if the speaker decides to leave now.

Cause that’s what I do, all of the time

The speaker typically leaves, and this is acknowledged as a consistent behavior.

If just for once you would mind somehow

Request for the listener to care or be bothered at least once about the speaker leaving.

We always go wrong in the right place

Mistakes happen in the right circumstances or situations.

At least we agree, we don’t want it like this

Agreement that both parties don't want the current situation.

But we can’t deny there is something that we miss

Recognition of something missing despite the agreement on not wanting the current situation.

I know that I’m the only one you want

Claiming to be the exclusive desired person for the listener.

So why’re you shutting down

Questioning why the listener is emotionally closing off.

You know that you’re the one who lifts me upside down

Acknowledgment that the listener has the power to uplift the speaker.

We hold on

Commitment to holding on despite difficulties.

Even though we can’t take it

Despite challenges, the speaker and the listener persevere.

And we know we won’t make it

Realization that reaching a safe and sound place is improbable.

To where we are safe and sound

Expressing a desire for safety and security.

I know that you’re the only one I want

Admission that the listener is the only desired person for the speaker.

But it’s better if we, better if we

Suggestion that it's better to hold on.

Hold on

Reiteration that holding on is preferable.

Much better if we move on

Suggesting it's much better to move on.

Are we just too tired now to see it

Questioning if fatigue is preventing recognition of the situation.

How we drifted apart, the closer we got

Observation of growing apart despite getting closer.

We cannot let go when we need it

Difficulty in letting go when needed.

Little makes us burn and we lose it

Small actions lead to emotional combustion and loss.

It ain’t easy to stay, when there’s no easy way

Stating the challenge of staying when there's no easy solution.

When will we learn, if we haven’t learned it yet?

Rhetorical question about learning from past experiences.

I know that I’m the only one you want

Reiteration that the listener is the exclusive desire of the speaker.

So why’re you shutting down

Questioning the listener's emotional withdrawal.

You know that you’re the one who lifts me upside down

Acknowledging the listener's uplifting role.

We hold on

Commitment to holding on despite challenges.

Even though we can’t take it

Persistence despite the awareness of not making it to a safe place.

And we know we won’t make it

Understanding the impossibility of reaching safety.

To where we are safe and sound

Desire for a safe and secure place.

I know that you’re the only one I want

Reiteration that the listener is the exclusive desire of the speaker.

But it’s better if we, better if we

Suggestion that holding on is better.

Hold on

Reiterating the preference for holding on.

Much better if we move on

Strong suggestion that it's much better to move on.

I know that I’m the only one you want

Reiteration that the listener is the exclusive desire of the speaker.

So why’re you shutting down

Questioning the listener's emotional withdrawal.

You know that you’re the one who lifts me up so why do I pull down

Recognition of the listener's uplifting role, questioning self-sabotage.

We hold on

Commitment to holding on despite challenges.

Even though we can’t take it

Persistence despite the awareness of not making it to a safe place.

And we know we won’t make it

Desire for a safe and secure place.

To where we are safe and sound

Reiteration that the listener is the exclusive desire of the speaker.

I know that you’re the only one I want

Admission that the listener is the only desired person for the speaker.

But it’s better if we, better if we

Suggestion that it's better to move on.

Move on

Strong suggestion that it's better to move on.

But it's better if we move on

Final reinforcement that moving on is the better choice.
