Lyrics

There's no more searching for answers

Expressing a sense of finality, no more seeking solutions or answers.

Better leave it anyway

Suggesting it's preferable to abandon or end something regardless.

You wonder how it'll feel like

Pondering the experience of aging and imagining how it feels at an older age.

When he gets to be your age

Reflecting on the future, wondering about the emotions and challenges at an advanced age.


And now I'm cutting off the corners

Metaphorically referring to making decisive changes, eliminating unnecessary aspects.

Circling the drain, I'm washing out

Describing a state of decline or deterioration, possibly related to personal struggles.

I'm always looking for the answers

Continuing the theme of seeking answers, a recurring aspect in the narrator's life.

You're always begging me to let you out

Highlighting the pressure from someone else to allow freedom or release.


When the apartment is empty

Describing an empty living space, potentially a metaphor for emotional emptiness.

And the well has run dry

Indicating a lack of resources or inspiration, reaching a point of depletion.

When it takes all the strength in your body

Emphasizing the immense effort required to sustain something important.

Just to keep it alive

Addressing the struggle to maintain vitality and keep something meaningful alive.


I still see you everywhere I go

Expressing a persistent presence of someone or something despite physical absence.

Before you shaved your hair

Referring to a specific moment before a drastic change in appearance (shaved hair).

It was you in the back seat

Recalling a person's presence in the past, possibly in a reflective or nostalgic tone.

It was you in the back of the crowd, I swear

Asserting the person's presence even in a large crowd, emphasizing significance.


And now I'm cutting off the corners

Reiterating the theme of decisive actions, cutting off unnecessary elements.

I'm circling the drain, I'm washing out

Maintaining a sense of decline or purification, washing away unwanted aspects.

I'm always looking for the answers

Continuing the quest for answers amid the ongoing struggles.

You're always begging me to let you out

Highlighting the persistent request from someone to be set free or allowed out.


And now I'm cutting off the corners

Repeating the idea of eliminating unnecessary elements in a more assertive manner.

I'm circling the drain, I'm washing out

Re-emphasizing the state of decline or purification, possibly intensifying.

I'm always looking for the answers

Persistently searching for answers, indicating an ongoing internal quest.

You're always begging me to let you out

Recurring plea or demand from someone to be released or set free.

And now I'm clawing at your back door

Introducing a new action, symbolically attempting to enter or reconnect.

I'm crawling up the stairs where I saw you again

Describing a specific location where a significant encounter or observation occurred.

And I was sleeping on your front porch

Recalling a vulnerable or desperate moment, seeking admission or acceptance.

Yeah, I was begging you to let me in

Reiterating the plea or request to be allowed in, possibly expressing vulnerability.
