Answering Bell
Waking Dreams and Whispered Wishes
Lyrics
Did I slip? Know I stumbled
Expressing uncertainty or acknowledgment of a mistake or misstep
Did I trip? 'Cause I know I fell
Reflecting on a fall or failure, possibly in a relationship
All's I know is I'll wake up
Awareness of the morning after, facing reality
Here in my clothes tomorrow
Suggesting waking up with clothes on, indicating a night's impact
Oh, girl I wish I knew you well
Expressing a desire to know someone deeply
Oh, girl I wish I knew you well
Reiterating the wish to know the person well
But I'm just sayin'
Transitioning to a declaration or statement
Hi,
Informal greeting or acknowledgment
To your answering bell
Referencing the concept of an answering bell, suggesting a response or connection
Did I run? Thought I was walkin'
Questioning one's actions, wondering about the pace of a relationship
Through your inexhaustible gale
Metaphorically navigating through a challenging situation
The names are changed but the constellations
Highlighting changes in names but persistence in challenges
Are still fallin'
Indicating ongoing difficulties or obstacles
Oh girl, if you could only tell
Expressing a desire for communication or understanding
Oh girl, if you could only tell
Reiterating the longing for mutual understanding
And I'm just sayin'
Returning to a statement or declaration
Hi
Informal greeting or acknowledgment, repeated
Let your tears fall and touch my skin
Symbolizing vulnerability, inviting emotional connection
Then your thunderclouds could rage with hail
Describing a storm of emotions, implying a desire to share the burden
I will collect them all for you in butterfly jars
Offering to support and preserve emotional moments
Oh girl, I'll build your wishing well
Expressing a commitment to fulfilling wishes or desires
Oh girl, I'll build your wishing well
Reiterating the commitment to fulfilling wishes or desires
And I'm just sayin' hi
Returning to a statement or declaration
To your answering bell
Repeating the concept of an answering bell, suggesting ongoing connection
Did I sleep? I musta been dreamin'
Questioning the reality of a situation, possibly involving dreams
Did I weep? 'Cause I cried like hell
Expressing intense emotions, implying a challenging experience
All's I want is your fortress of tears
Desiring the breakdown of emotional barriers or defenses
To crumble
Metaphorically referencing a fortress of tears, a metaphor for emotional walls
Oh girl, I'd tear 'em down myself
Expressing a willingness to overcome obstacles for the person
Oh girl, the story's they could tell
Emphasizing the stories embedded in overcoming challenges together
And I'm just sayin' hi
Returning to a statement or declaration, repeated
