Lyrics
You know I try to stay a step ahead of you
The singer attempts to be ahead of someone else.
But from experience I know that's pretty hard to do
Knowing it's challenging based on past experiences.
You walk in circles
Describing the other person's behavior as repetitive.
I think in squares
Contrasting the singer's thought process with the other person's.
Maybe with a better angle
Hoping for a different perspective to face challenges boldly.
I will dream to dare
Expressing the intent to dream boldly in the face of difficulties.
To take it farther
Striving to push boundaries despite difficulties.
It's so much harder when you say
Expressing the increased difficulty when the other person imposes barriers.
Raise your armor
Encouraging the other person to let go of defenses.
And I cannot take it away
Feeling unable to break down the other person's defenses.
We'll go farther
Desire to achieve greater things together.
I'll give my heart for something great
Willingness to offer deep emotional commitment for significant goals.
I say today's the day
Expressing determination about taking action today.
But you walk the other way
Despite the determination, the other person avoids the proposed action.
You know I try to stay a step ahead of you
Reiteration of trying to stay ahead of the other person.
But from experience I know that's pretty hard to do
Reaffirming the difficulty based on past experiences.
You walk in circles
Repeating the description of the other person's behavior as cyclic.
I think in squares
Repeating the contrast between thinking patterns.
Maybe with a better angle
Reiteration of seeking a different approach to face challenges.
I will dream to dare
Reaffirming the determination to dream boldly despite obstacles.
To take it farther
Reiterating the intention to push limits despite challenges.
It's so much harder when you say
Restating the increased difficulty when the other person sets up defenses.
Raise your armor
Repeated encouragement to lower defenses.
And I cannot take it away
Feeling unable to break through the other person's defenses.
We'll go farther
Expressing the desire to achieve greater distances together.
I'll give my heart for something great
Willingness to deeply invest emotionally for significant aspirations.
I say today's the day
Reaffirming the determination to take action today.
But you walk the other way
Reiteration of the other person's avoidance of the proposed action.
