Lyrics
You bet it on hope and now I know there is one
You took a chance on hope, and now I understand there is a consequence.
If you're ready I will see the moment is done
If you're prepared, I'll acknowledge that the moment has passed or concluded.
Is it of you though, I'm not buying I feel what you're settling on
I doubt it's about you; I'm skeptical because I sense you're compromising.
You were running down the hall and I stayed slow enough
You were in a hurry, and I deliberately remained slow.
Every minute I was stinging I saw 'em
During each moment, I felt a sharp pain, and I observed them.
Is it of you though, I'm not buying I feel what you're settling on
I doubt it's about you; I'm skeptical because I sense you're compromising.
Here I hear no one
Here, I hear no one (possibly a sense of isolation or lack of communication).
You bet it on a hope and now I know there is one
You took a chance on hope, and now I understand there is a consequence.
If you're riding on a hope sit down
If you're relying on hope, sit down (implying a need for realism).
Is it of you though, I'm not buying I feel what you're settling on
I doubt it's about you; I'm skeptical because I sense you're compromising.
You were running for a house in the fire
You were running towards a burning house.
Push'em ready and a heartbeat's enough
Prepare to push, and just having a heartbeat is sufficient.
You're sleeping with a hand in the fire
You're risking or enduring pain (sleeping with a hand in the fire).
They say I'm nervous, oh am I
Others say I'm anxious, am I?
Don't you notice I had a lung full, I had a song for you
Did you notice that I had a lung full (possibly holding breath), and I had a song for you?
And I breathe in you
I breathe in you (connection or dependence on someone).
You were running down the hall and I stayed slow enough
You were in a hurry, and I deliberately remained slow.
Every minute I was singing I swear I could give up
During each minute, I was singing, and I swear I could give up (possible struggle).
Don't you notice I had a lung full, I had a song for you
Did you notice that I had a lung full, and I had a song for you?
That I break, It's you.
That something is breaking, and it involves you.
