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.
