Lyrics
I can't escape it
Feeling trapped or unable to avoid something
I'm catching what you keep
Absorbing or experiencing what someone else holds or carries
When you're awake I can't sleep
Unable to rest or relax when the other person is awake
I can feel your worries creep in
Sensing the gradual intrusion of the other person's anxieties or concerns
I can't escape it
Reiterating the feeling of being unable to escape
Despair will find a home
Despair becoming a familiar or constant presence
Like a ghostly hand to hold
Describing despair as something tangible and persistent
Like very heavy load
Comparing despair to a heavy burden
I know that I'm falling for you
Admitting feelings of falling in love
But I'm not sure that I can handle what you're falling into
Expressing uncertainty about handling the other person's struggles
I can't escape it
Reiterating the inability to escape
Can't let go of this hurt
Being unable to release the pain
When the water's crisp and cool
Metaphorically describing a situation that seems refreshing but is tainted
But you only taste the dirt
Experiencing something good but being unable to fully enjoy it
I can't escape it
Reiterating the feeling of being unable to escape
It's the way the scene is spun
Describing the way circumstances are presented or manipulated
When you wander into space
Feeling isolated or detached in a situation
And you can't see anyone
Experiencing a sense of loneliness or absence of others
I know that I'm falling for you
Repeating the admission of falling in love
But I'm not sure that I can handle what you're falling into
Reiterating uncertainty about handling the other person's situation
And though every part of me aches
Feeling intense pain or distress
The emptiness has been the only place I feel safe
Describing emptiness as the only place of safety
I know that I'm falling for you
Repeating the admission of falling in love
But I'm not sure that I can handle what you're falling into
Reiterating uncertainty about handling the other person's situation
And though every part of me aches
Feeling intense pain or distress
The emptiness has been the only place I feel safe
Describing emptiness as the only place of safety
I know that I'm falling for you
Repeating the admission of falling in love
But I'm not sure that I can handle what you're falling into
Reiterating uncertainty about handling the other person's situation
And though every part of me aches
Feeling intense pain or distress
The emptiness has been the only place I feel safe
Describing emptiness as the only place of safety
