Lyrics
Yes, I understand
Expressing understanding of the inevitability of death.
That every life must end
Acknowledging the universal truth that all lives have a finite end.
As we sit alone
Reflecting on being alone or contemplating life.
I know someday we must go
Acknowledging the eventual departure from the current state.
Oh, I'm a lucky man
Feeling fortunate and grateful for the relationships in life.
To count on both hands
Expressing gratitude for having many loved ones.
The ones I love
Highlighting the importance of people in the speaker's life.
Some folks just have one
Contrasting the speaker's situation with those who have fewer connections.
Yeah, others they got none
Noting that some people lack close relationships.
Stay with me
Pleading for companionship or emotional support.
Let's just breathe
Suggesting the simple act of breathing together as a way to connect.
Practiced all my sins
Admitting to past mistakes or wrongdoings.
Never gonna let me win
Expressing a sense of defeat or not overcoming past sins.
Under everything
Recognizing the human condition beneath external appearances.
Just another human being
Acknowledging shared humanity and vulnerability.
Yeah, I don't want to hurt
Desiring to avoid causing harm to others.
There's so much in this world
Recognizing the abundance of experiences in the world.
To make me bleed
Expressing a fear of emotional pain.
Stay with me
Reiterating the plea for emotional support and connection.
You're all I see
Emphasizing the importance of the other person in the speaker's vision of the future.
Did I say that I need you?
Questioning if the need for the other person was communicated.
Did I say that I want you?
Reflecting on the desire for the other person.
Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool, you see
Acknowledging the possibility of foolishness if the desire was not expressed.
No one knows this more than me
Claiming a deep understanding of personal feelings and needs.
As I come clean
Admitting to honesty or confessing a truth.
I wonder every day
Pondering or questioning aspects of life on a daily basis.
As I look upon your face
Reflecting on the beauty or significance of the other person's face.
Everything you gave
Appreciating everything the other person has given in the relationship.
And nothing you would take
Highlighting the selflessness of the other person, who takes nothing in return.
Nothing you would take
Repeating the idea that the other person doesn't ask for anything.
Everything you gave
Reiterating appreciation for all the things given in the relationship.
Did I say that I need you?
Repeating the question of whether the need for the other person was communicated.
Oh, did I say that I want you?
Reiterating the desire for the other person.
Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool you see
Emphasizing the potential foolishness if the desire was not expressed.
No one knows this more than me
Repeating the deep understanding of personal feelings and needs.
As I come clean
Admitting to honesty or confessing a truth once again.
Nothing you would take
Emphasizing the other person's refusal to take anything.
Everything you gave
Highlighting the speaker's gratitude for everything received from the other person.
Hold me 'til I die
Expressing a desire for the other person's presence until death.
Meet you on the other side
Anticipating a reunion with the other person in an afterlife or beyond.
