Lyrics
You say you're fading away
You express that you're losing yourself or fading away.
I never need to agree
I don't necessarily have to agree with your perspective or feelings.
You're at an age you never said
You're at a stage in life that you never explicitly mentioned before.
You wanted to be
You had aspirations or desires for a certain identity or status.
Hold onto your rosary
Hold on to your rosary, a symbolic gesture of seeking comfort or guidance.
I'll keep you close to me
I'll keep you close to me, indicating a commitment to support or be there for you.
You're on a flight just passing through
You're on a journey or transition, just passing through a phase.
I'm on a rope swing back to you
I'm on a return journey, swinging back towards you.
And when the night hits Illinois
During the night in Illinois, uncertainty about our actions prevails.
No way to tell what we will do
It's unclear what choices or decisions will be made.
What kind of life do you need?
Questioning the kind of life you require and the symbolic cage to adorn it.
What cage to decorate?
Contemplating the choices and decorations for the metaphorical cage.
It comes in waves
Experiences come in waves, but they align with personal desires.
But it's everything I want it to be
Despite fluctuations, it fulfills what you desire it to be.
Hold onto your rosary
Reiteration to hold on to the rosary for support and comfort.
I'll keep you close to me
A commitment to keeping the person close for emotional support.
Late night tales spill off your stoop
Narration of late-night stories spilling, possibly reflecting on experiences.
Flood the streets with bad news
Negative information floods the streets, possibly influencing perspectives.
How many days till you decide
Questioning the duration until a decision is made, with a reference to cold weather.
The wind still bites with a sweater on
Despite wearing protection, the challenges or harshness of life persist.
It's not what you do
Coolness is not determined by actions, location, or acquaintances.
It's not where you go
The essence of being cool is not about what one does.
It's not who you know
It's not about where one goes that defines coolness.
That makes you cool to me
Coolness is not determined by the people one knows.
I fell asleep on the train
Narration of falling asleep on a train and waking up without keys.
And woke up missing my keys
Highlighting the disorientation or challenges in the journey.
But if you pack it away
If you pack away something, who do you intend to become in this place?
Who'd you come here to be?
Raising a question about the purpose or identity in coming to a particular place.
Hold onto your rosary
Reiteration to hold on to the rosary for support and comfort.
I'll keep you close to me
A commitment to keeping the person close for emotional support.
