Lyrics

How you been feeling

Asking about the emotional state of the person

It's not about marbles snakes or glue

Emphasizing that the issues are not trivial, like marbles, snakes, or glue

How you been healing

Inquiring about the process of recovery or coping

Now that we cannot win or lose

Acknowledging a situation where winning or losing is irrelevant

So how you been keeping

Checking on the general well-being, regardless of wealth

It doesn't matter whose dad's richest now

Indicating that financial status does not matter in the current context

How you been sleeping

Inquiring about the quality of sleep, possibly suggesting unrest

From the top bunks further to fall down

Referring to a precarious situation, possibly a metaphor for life challenges


You turned that around on me

Repetition of someone turning a situation around, possibly negatively

You turned that around on me

-

You turned that around on me

-

You turned that around on me

-

What you been doing

Asking about recent activities with a focus on positive impact

Still make the world a better place

Highlighting a continuous effort to improve the world

Never stopped ruing

Expressing ongoing regret or sorrow

Making those tears fall down your face

Describing the visible effect of regret, tears falling down the face

Making you suffer

Acknowledging the presence of suffering

Wondering how you got your scars

Raising questions about the origin of emotional scars

And only in hindsight

Reflecting on past events with the realization that support was needed

I wish I had taken you in my arms

Expressing a desire to have comforted the person in hindsight


Taken you in my arms

Repetition of the wish to have embraced the person in a difficult time

Taken you in my arms

-

Taken you in my arms

-

Taken you in my arms

-

You turned that around on me

Repetition of someone turning a situation around, with a sense of regret

You turned that around on me

-

You turned that around on me

-

You turned that around on me

-

You turned that around on me (forgiving the bully)

Repetition, emphasizing forgiveness toward the bully

You turned that around on me

-

You turned that around on me (forgiving the bully)
