You Might Not See Me Again
Fleeting Shadows: Embracing Goodbyes in Sarah and the Sundays' Melody
Lyrics
Hand searches for the window
Searching for an escape, wanting to leave
I wanna get the fuck out of here
Expressing a strong desire to get away
Man searches for the widow
Someone is searching for a widow, possibly referencing someone who lost their partner
He just wants to disappear
Desire to vanish or disappear, feeling disconnected
Hold my hand, hold me down
Request for support and reassurance
Hold your breath ‘til I come around
Waiting anxiously for a return, expecting someone to be there
I’m not kidding this time
Seriousness emphasized in communication
Hold on tight, keep me safe
Asking for protection and safety
I know you’re worried but it’s not too late
Assuring someone that there's still time to make things right
Too late
Implying a sense of urgency or missed opportunities
It’s not too late
Reiteration that there's still a chance to act
I’m running from the sunset
Running away from the end of the day or an inevitable situation
I’m scared of the dark again
Fearful of facing uncertainties or unknowns
I’m thinking that you’re upset
Belief that someone else is upset but avoiding discussions
But I don’t wanna talk again
Reluctance to engage in conversation again
Say goodbye
Expressing farewells
You might not see me again
Suggesting uncertainty about future meetings
Take your time
Pondering about the approaching conclusion or culmination of something
Are we coming to the end?
Questioning the proximity to an end
Say goodbye
Repeating the idea of bidding farewell
You might not see me again
Reiterating uncertainty about future encounters
You might not see me again
Emphasizing the possibility of absence in the future
Hold my hand, hold me down
Repeating the plea for support and assurance
Hold your breath ‘til I come around
Repeating the anxious waiting for a return
I’m not kidding this time
Emphasizing seriousness in communication
Hold on tight, keep me safe
Reiterating the need for protection and safety
I know you’re worried but it’s not too late
Reassuring that there's still time to rectify concerns
Too late
Re-emphasis on a possible missed opportunity or urgency
It’s not too late
Restating the idea that it's not too late to act
