Lyrics
The road you walked on
The path you have taken in life
That light you followed
The guiding light or inspiration you've followed
Endless pieces laid out before you
A multitude of possibilities or experiences laid out in front of you
Do you know better now?
Are you more knowledgeable or enlightened now?
I guess we'll never know
It's uncertain; the answer remains unknown
But if you turn the lights off
Suggesting turning away from something, perhaps avoiding confrontation
Maybe somehow you can try to drift away
Attempting to escape or detach, metaphorically drifting away
Like a broken promise
Comparing drifting away to a broken promise that persists
That goes on forever
Continuing the idea of an enduring broken promise
And I've been waiting
The speaker has been patient, anticipating something
Waiting all this time
The duration of waiting, possibly for change or resolution
Maybe someday we can try to drift away
Suggesting a future possibility of drifting away
And I've been waiting
Reiteration of waiting over time
Waiting all this time
Continued anticipation for a change or escape
Maybe this time we can try to drift away
Expressing hope for a successful attempt at drifting away
And I've been waiting
Repeated waiting, underscoring the passage of time
Waiting all this time
Someday I'll take you far away
A vision of taking someone to a distant place in the future
Like an endless echo
Comparing the departure to an endless echo, possibly emphasizing its lasting impact
Maybe someday we can try to break away
Reiteration of the possibility of attempting to break away
A home you longed for
The idea of a desired home or belonging
The path to lead us
The way forward, a direction to guide the speaker
A word to follow
The importance of words or communication in the relationship
That space between us
Emphasizing the distance or disconnect between individuals
Maybe somehow you can try to drift away
Reiterating the suggestion to drift away, maintaining continuity
That goes on forever
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the enduring nature of the detachment
And I've been waiting
Continued patience and waiting over time
Waiting all this time
The prolonged duration of anticipation
Maybe someday we can try to drift away
Repeating the potential for drifting away in the future
And I've been waiting
Reiteration of waiting, suggesting a cycle or pattern
Waiting all this time
Persevering hope for a successful attempt at drifting away
Maybe this time we can try to drift away
Expressing renewed hope for a successful escape
And I've been waiting
Repeated waiting, reinforcing the theme of patience
Waiting all this time
