Lyrics
The slightest touch could throw you off
The smallest contact has the potential to disrupt your equilibrium.
So far you don't know where you are
You are so distant that you are unaware of your current position or state.
The slightest gesture could grind you down
Even a subtle action can wear you down over time.
So you're alone when you hit the ground
You face challenges and difficulties alone when you experience a setback.
I know a thing or two about what they do
The speaker has knowledge and experience about certain things.
Time takes away
The passing of time has a diminishing effect.
And time gives you another day
Time offers new opportunities and the chance for another day.
The slightest flaw in your story arc
A small imperfection in the narrative of your life can lead to significant consequences.
Could tear the home you made apart
A minor flaw in your personal story can disrupt the stability of your home.
And the slightest bend in the road you're on
A slight deviation in your chosen path can lead to a different outcome.
Could send you down a different one
A subtle change in direction can alter the course of your life.
I know a thing or two about what that's like
The speaker understands the impact of such life-altering decisions.
Time takes away
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the diminishing aspect of time.
And time gives you another day
Time provides the opportunity for a fresh start each day.
So trust yourself and take your time
Encouragement to have confidence in oneself and to proceed at one's own pace.
I love you and I love mine
The speaker expresses love and acknowledges the importance of personal pursuits.
It's only water and stepping stones
Obstacles in life are compared to water and stepping stones, suggesting they can be overcome.
And only you know where you can go
Emphasizing individual agency in determining one's path.
I know a thing or two about what you can do
The speaker has insights into what one is capable of doing.
Time takes away
Reiteration of the time's diminishing effect.
And time gives you another day
Time provides the opportunity for a new beginning with each passing day.
