Right by You
Navigating Life's Promises: Paper Citizen's 'Right by You' Meaning
Lyrics
I've been counting the days on the vine I just sway through the breeze
Reflecting on the passage of time while feeling passive in life's flow.
Now I do what I like when I like but it don't seem to please
Engaging in personal freedom but realizing it doesn’t bring contentment.
So I save my favors
Keeping goodwill or acts of kindness for those neglected before.
For all the people that I never made time for
Intending to make amends with people previously ignored.
Every promise that I never saw through
Acknowledging unfulfilled commitments made in the past.
Try, gonna try, gonna try to do right by you
Expressing a commitment to change and make things right for someone.
Got a world on your mind, then again so do I
Recognizing the weight of responsibilities on both parties' minds.
It's a draw
Stalemate or a balanced situation where neither has an advantage.
If I say I don't see what you see it don't change what you saw
Admitting a difference in perception doesn’t invalidate what's been seen.
So I save my favors
Reserving kindness or favors for a future uncertain time.
For a rainy day
Planning to save goodwill or favors for when they might be needed.
For a rainy day
Repeating the intention to save for a future difficult period.
For all the people that I never made time for
Reiterating the desire to reconcile with neglected individuals.
Every promise that I never saw through
Re-emphasizing unfulfilled commitments from the past.
Try, gonna try, gonna try to do right by you
Reaffirming the dedication to making things right for someone.
So I save my favors
Continuing the intention to reserve kindness for an uncertain time.
For a rainy day
Reiterating the plan to save goodwill for a challenging future.
For a rainy day
Repeating the commitment to save for difficult times ahead.
For all the people that I never made time for
Continuing the desire to mend relationships with neglected individuals.
Every promise that I never saw through
Reiterating unfulfilled promises made previously.
Try, gonna try, gonna try to do right
Reaffirming the dedication to trying to do what’s right for someone.
Try, gonna try, gonna try
Emphasizing the resolve and determination to try.
Try, gonna try, gonna try to do right by you
Repeating the commitment to make things right for someone.
