Lyrics
Won't you come around
Invitation for someone to come over
The day is almost over
Indication that time is running out or nearly finished
And there a space in the world
Suggests there's room or opportunity in the world for another person who feels alone
For another lonely traveller
Expresses a sense of loneliness or isolation
The way it used to be
Recollection of a previous time or situation
Riding shotgun down the highway
Metaphor for being a passenger in life's journey
Keeping a mindful eye on the mountains
Being aware and observant of challenges ("mountains")
Where they touch the sky
Symbolic reference to aiming for great heights or aspirations
I don't care where you're going to
Indifference towards the destination or future plans
And I don't care where you've been
Unconcerned about past experiences or history
Can you be here now?
Repeated emphasis on being present in the moment
Can you be here now?
-Love is not an accident
Love is not predictable but subject to change
But it change like the weather
Comparing love's fluctuations to the unpredictable nature of weather
And you've got no place to hide from the tension in your mind
No escape from mental stress or pressure
And you'd been feeling better
Despite recent improvements, a return to feeling low or unsettled
But last night you parked by the old house
Returning to a familiar place linked with memories
On the corner where you used to reside
Specific reference to a past residence
With everything that you're going through
Acknowledgment of difficult circumstances
And the kind of shape you're in
Recognition of someone's emotional state or condition
Can you be here now?
Reiteration of the importance of being present in the moment despite challenges
Can you be here now?
-Now at the border of the end
Suggests arriving at the edge or conclusion of something
Now where there's nothing to defend
Implying a state where there's nothing left to protect or safeguard
Now where the clock time can begin to fade away
Indication of time losing significance or importance
So won't you come along
Repeated invitation to join in despite time passing
The day is almost over
Reiteration of the day ending, urgency to act
And there's a space in the world for another lonely traveller
Re-emphasis on space for another person feeling alone
I don't care where you're going to
Reiteration of indifference towards future destinations
And I don't care where you've been
Unconcerned about past experiences or history
Can you be here now?
Continued emphasis on the importance of being present in the current moment
Can you be here now?
-Can you be here now?
-Can you be here now?
