Lyrics

Quick steps, new plans

Expressing a change in direction or plans, taking quick steps.

Pass the time

Engaging in activities to pass the time.

Cool heads, last chance

Remaining calm in a critical situation, perhaps the last opportunity.

A dotted line

Referring to a figurative dotted line, symbolizing uncertainty or a decision point.

And you said that we had all the time in the world

Someone expressing the belief that there is plenty of time available.

But the world spun slower than we did

Realizing that time is passing slowly in their relationship.

And so through all the seasons of us we turned

Describing the different phases or seasons of their relationship.

And everything else seemed to stand still

During those phases, everything else seems to stand still.


Maybe you never really knew me at all

Questioning whether the other person truly understood them.

Or maybe all the sand in our hourglass has fallen

Suggesting that time has run out, using the metaphor of an hourglass.

And we could go back to the top

Reflecting on the possibility of starting anew.

But maybe all we'd find is that some things

Considering that going back may reveal some things are better left in the past.

Are better off

Acknowledging that certain aspects are better off unchanged.


Glass house, white fence

Describing a picturesque scene with potential challenges ("glass house, white fence").

But there's greener grass

Despite appearances, there may be better opportunities elsewhere ("greener grass").

Speak loud with the silence

Using silence to cover up or hide a significant event.

Cover up the crash

Trying to conceal the aftermath of a failure or mistake.

And I know what I said, but how could I expect for

Acknowledging a contradiction in their previous statements.

All of the walls to crumble

Anticipating the collapse of walls and needing to escape a deteriorating situation.

I had to get out before it all came down

Acting preemptively to avoid being overwhelmed by a destructive event.

And buried me beneath the rubble

Fearing being buried under the consequences of their actions.


Maybe you never really knew me at all

Reiterating the uncertainty about whether the other person truly knew them.

Or maybe all the sand in our hourglass has fallen

Reinforcing the idea that time has run out, using the hourglass metaphor.

And we could go back to the top

Revisiting the idea of starting anew but unsure of what they may find.

But maybe all we'd find is that some things

Contemplating that some things are better left in the past.

Are better

Highlighting the idea that certain things are better off unchanged.


And if we both get stuck in

Imagining a scenario where both individuals are trapped in a difficult situation.

The same black hole in the great abyss

Referring to a shared struggle or challenge, possibly in the relationship.

Our jagged edges just might fit again

Suggesting that despite differences, they might fit together again.

I'll meet you at the finish line

Picturing a meeting point after overcoming challenges.

When the battle fields are clear and quiet

Describing a peaceful state after the conflicts have subsided.

Hold onto that winning smile 'til then

Encouraging to hold onto optimism until reaching a resolution.


Maybe you never really knew me at all

Reiterating the uncertainty about whether the other person truly knew them.
