Lyrics
So now you say dirty things that you regret
Expressing regret for saying inappropriate things
Try to breathe and relax and get over it
Encouraging to calm down and move past the situation
This I know
Emphasizing knowledge or understanding
This I know
Reiteration of understanding or certainty
And now you look and you dig in a deep whole
Describing deep involvement or commitment
And every word that you say is regrettable
Highlighting regrettable words spoken
This I know
Reaffirming knowledge of the regrettable nature of words
This I know
Restating the understanding of regret
But here I am, there you go
Acknowledging the presence of both individuals
Time's been changing you more than you'd ever know
Noting the transformative effect of time on the other person
Here I am, there you go
Repeating acknowledgment of both individuals
I've been waiting for more than you'd ever know
Expressing a prolonged wait for something
You can pretend that you don't need a reason
Suggesting the possibility of pretending not to need a reason
For all the calls on the phone that would never end
Referring to unresolved phone calls
This I know
Reiterating knowledge of the unresolved calls
This I know
Reaffirming understanding of the situation
So now you're cold and you're tired and raspy
Describing a state of being cold, tired, and raspy
You try to wave with the hand as you scratch me
Depicting a physical gesture with emotional impact
This I know
Reaffirming knowledge of the emotional state
This I know
Restating understanding of the emotional state
But here I am, there you go
Repeating acknowledgment of both individuals
Time's been changing you more than you'd ever know
Highlighting the transformative effect of time
Here I am, letting go
Expressing a decision to let go
I've been waiting for more than you'd ever know
Reiterating a prolonged wait
Will I stay here
Pondering whether to stay in a situation
While you're not there
Expressing the absence of the other person
Bare with me... please
Requesting patience or tolerance
Day after day
Emphasizing persistence or determination
I'll get my way
Asserting the achievement of personal goals
Bare with me
Repeating the request for patience or tolerance
So now you stare at the face and the photograph
Observing a focused gaze on a photo
You want to scream but you can't get a witness
Desiring validation through a witness
This I love
Expressing love for a particular situation or state
This I love
Reaffirming the love for the situation
But here I am, there you go
Repeating acknowledgment of both individuals
Time's been changing you more than you'd ever know
Highlighting continued change over time
Here I am, I'll let you go
Affirming the decision to let go
I've been waiting for more than, more than you know
Reiterating a prolonged wait and implying knowledge
But I know
Expressing personal knowledge or insight
But I know
Reaffirming personal knowledge or insight
More than you know......
Emphasizing deeper knowledge beyond what is expressed
