Lyrics

Well, it feels like

Expressing a sensation or perception

I see you

Acknowledging the presence of someone

Bout' everywhere I go

Noticing the person almost everywhere

From the beaches

Referencing various locations, possibly significant to the relationship

To the couches

Highlighting different settings, including intimate ones

To the streetlights back at home

Referring to familiar places, possibly home

When it was footsie

Recalling playful footsie under a table

Under the table

Secretive physical contact to keep it private

So nobody would know

Emphasizing the need for secrecy in the relationship

When it was Staring

Describing moments of intense mutual gaze

At each other

Wishing for privacy during those moments

Hoping nobody was home

Hoping for an empty house during intimate times

When it was love

Reflecting on a time of unrestrained love

Just flowing freely

Describing the natural flow of love

Something deep down in the soul

Referring to a profound connection at a soul level

But hearts broke

Transition to a phase of heartbreak

Time passed

Indicating the passage of time

And now you're just...

Presenting the person as a memory

The cycles of the moon

Introducing the metaphor of lunar cycles

Always continue

Highlighting the perpetual nature of cycles

They make me forget who

Expressing forgetfulness due to cycles

Who's looking after you?

Posing a question about who takes care of the person

You

Repeatedly addressing the person

You

-

You, you

-

In a way

Noting a similarity between individuals

You resemble one another

Comparing as if born from the same mother

As if you were

Emphasizing a familial connection

Born from the same mother

Commenting on the irony of clear communication

Funny, how we

Reflecting on shared clarity but diverse love interests

Both spoke so clearly

Emphasizing clear communication from both

Yet, somehow

Highlighting the divergence in destinies

Meant for different lovers

Contrasting spoken words with different loves

But, I held your figure

Recalling physically holding the person's figure

Every night

Regular occurrence of holding the figure

Well, maybe it was

Qualifying the frequency of holding

Once or twice

Admitting to occasional instances

But, I held your figure

Reiterating mental holding of the figure

In my mind

Expressing uncertainty about the appropriateness

Never figured

Desiring to hold on to everything

It wasn't right

Realizing a lack of rightness in holding on

I wanna hold on to everything

Expressing a strong desire to retain everything

To all these thoughts I cling

Committing to remember all thoughts

I promised not to forget how

Acknowledging the challenge of memory

But fragments dance around me now

Fragmented memories surrounding the commitment

The cycles of the moon

Repetition of previous themes

Always continue

-

They make me forget who

-

Who's looking after you?

-

You

-

You

-

You, you (who's looking after you?)

-

The cycles of the moon

-

Always continue

-

They make me forget who

-

Who's looking after you?

-

You

-

You

-

You, you

-

The cycles of the moon

-

Always continue

-

They make me forget who

-

Who's looking after you?

-

You

-

You

-

Who's looking after you?

-

You

-

You

-

Who's looking after you?

-

Who's looking after you?

Reiteration of the question about who looks after the person
