Lyrics
And it's the feelin' of driftin' apart
Expressing the sensation of growing distant
When you've been intertwined from the start
Describing a long-standing connection between individuals
Pulled a muscle, stretched a thousand miles
Metaphorically referencing strain and distance
Our hearts rewired, yeah
Suggesting emotional changes and adaptations
And the blood can only flow so far (mmm)
Highlighting limits to emotional connection
Before you don't feel anything at all
Loss of sensitivity or feeling due to distance
And it hurts 'cause it was nobody's fault
Expressing pain without assigning blame
Our hearts desires (yeah)
Reference to personal aspirations
And it was all said and done anyways (ah)
Implying inevitability despite efforts
To say goodbye a million different ways (ah)
Repeated attempts at parting ways
Until we couldn't say goodbye anymore
Reaching a point of inability to bid farewell
Our hearts retired (ah)
Symbolic retirement of emotional investment
I fell apart in your arms
Feeling broken within the embrace of the other person
But I still felt like a part of your arms
Sensing belonging despite emotional turmoil
And I still feel like a part to hold on
Desire to remain connected despite challenges
Off of the cliff's edge
Metaphorically on the brink of a drastic change
But the mountain was made out of glass
Illusion of stability shattered by reality
When we saw through whatever caused us to crack
Understanding the cause of strain in the relationship
When the world has trouble trying to cast its lonely shadow
Difficulty in escaping isolation or loneliness
Mistook your love of me for my own (ah)
Misinterpretation of affection for self-worth
Tricked me into false self acceptance
Being deceived into a false sense of self-acceptance
I'm still a fly in the shape of a man
Feeling insignificant or out of place
In the crevice
Symbolizing a confined or uncomfortable position
So we walked to the top once again
Attempting to overcome difficulties together
Won't look down until the end
Commitment to face challenges without giving up
Up the hill
Continuing the uphill struggle
Our hearts united
Expressing a desire for unity despite challenges
