Lyrics

It's been a few years since I shed a tear for you

Expressing a significant passage of time since the last emotional reaction to the person being addressed.

Still feel you move in the dark

Sensing the presence of the person even in moments of darkness or emotional obscurity.

Sleeping alone should be clearing my head

Reflecting on the expectation that sleeping alone would provide mental clarity.

So why am I falling in love

Puzzled about falling in love despite the intention or desire not to.

Stop me falling in love

Expressing a desire or effort to resist falling in love.


Is there a silver lining

Questioning the existence of a positive outcome in a challenging situation.

In a perfect storm

Exploring the potential for hope or positivity in the midst of difficulties.

You only throw me a lifeline

Feeling limited support, symbolized by a sparingly thrown lifeline.

As I'm falling overboard

Metaphorically experiencing a situation of imminent danger or crisis.

Keep me from falling overboard

Pleading for assistance to avoid succumbing to the challenges.


How could you allow me to drown in your presence

Expressing disappointment and vulnerability in the face of neglect.

When I have been nothing but kind

Highlighting past kindness, questioning the fairness of current circumstances.

My breath slowly waning and you're still debating

Describing a diminishing life force while the other person deliberates.

Whether to throw me a line

Questioning the hesitation to offer support in a critical moment.


You cut me deep with your catch and release

Using the metaphor of fishing to describe emotional wounds inflicted.

And now I'm prey to the sharks

Feeling vulnerable and exposed, susceptible to harm or manipulation.

It's harder to swim now that you reeled me in

Experiencing increased difficulty, possibly regret, after becoming emotionally invested.

And I'm not safe in your arms

Expressing a lack of safety or security in the arms of the person addressed.

It's not safe in your arms

Reiterating the lack of safety in the emotional connection.


Is there a silver lining

Returning to the theme of seeking hope in challenging circumstances.

In a perfect storm

Questioning the absence of support or assistance in a difficult situation.

You never threw me a lifeline

Expressing a sense of abandonment, leading to a metaphorical fall overboard.

So I'm falling overboard

Conveying the actual experience of falling overboard due to lack of support.


I will survive the storm

Asserting resilience and determination to endure challenges.

I can jump overboard

Expressing a willingness to take a bold step to confront difficulties.

I'm not afraid of the sea

Asserting fearlessness in the face of adversity, particularly related to emotional challenges.

After all of this pain

Acknowledging past pain but positioning oneself as the potential savior.

You're the one who needs saving

Reversing roles, indicating that the person addressed now needs saving.

And I'm the hero you need

Embracing a heroic role in the narrative, offering assistance despite past pain.

I'll be the hero you need

Committing to being the needed hero in the ongoing situation.


If you ever need finding

Offering support and assistance if the person addressed ever needs help.

As you're looking for the shore

Guiding the person as they search for stability or safety.

I will throw you a lifeline

Promising to extend support and a lifeline when the person is in danger.

As you're falling overboard

Reiterating the commitment to prevent the person from falling overboard.

Falling overboard

Emphasizing the imminent danger of falling overboard and the need for prevention.

I'll keep you from falling overboard

Reaffirming the dedication to keeping the person from falling overboard.
