Lyrics
These are moments I'd forget
Reflecting on forgettable moments
If it weren't for the time I had, I'd worse I've got to admit
Acknowledging challenging times
I'd walk a lifetime in your shoes if it means I'll understand it
Expressing a willingness to understand by walking in someone else's shoes
If I haven't stopped by now I don't see why I would quit
Contemplating the perseverance despite challenges
I've gotten real good at brushing things off
Developing resilience in handling setbacks
That don't stop me from believing I can't go wrong
Maintaining optimism despite setbacks
Will you hear me without me there?
Questioning the ability to be heard in absence
Will you like what you hear?
Concern about how one is perceived
I can do so much with the things I sing, but I can't change not being there
Limitations in influencing situations through words
Aren't they lovely?
Rhetorical admiration for certain things
The things I won't see, I'll save 'em for later
Choosing to postpone experiences or emotions
They'll break me like glass, they'll bite me in the ass
Acknowledging potential harm from delayed experiences
And I'll be blind again someday
Acknowledging future vulnerability
Like trying to get in without a key
Facing difficulties or challenges without a solution
Nothing to unlock that I haven't already seen
Recognizing that everything is already known
See, I could be a nice guy and let you walk all over me
Considering self-respect over being taken advantage of
But to be honest it's such a stroke to let you ignore me
Finding satisfaction in being overlooked
Said I've gotten real good at brushing things off
Reiterating the ability to overcome challenges
That don't stop me from believing I can't go wrong
Continuing to believe in success despite setbacks
Will you hear me without me there?
Questioning the reception of one's message in absence
Will you like what you hear?
Concern about the likability of communicated thoughts
I can do so much with the things I sing, but I can't change not being there
Expressing limitations in affecting change without being present
Aren't they lovely?
Repeating admiration for certain things
The things I won't see, we'll save 'em for later
Committing to delaying experiences or emotions
They'll break me like glass and they'll bite me in the ass
Acknowledging potential future consequences
But I'll be blind again someday
Anticipating a return to unawareness or ignorance
