Lyrics
I saw her crying
I witnessed her in a state of tears.
On the train
This occurred while she was on a train.
What went wrong?
Questioning what caused her distress.
Did you have a bad day?
Wondering if her day was unpleasant or challenging.
I saw a message
I observed a written message.
Written in the glass:
The message was inscribed on glass.
Turn away
Directing someone to turn away.
Turn back
Requesting someone to turn back.
I'm a sailor
Describing oneself as a sailor.
But I'm in wake again
Feeling alert or aroused once more.
It's not the way I am
Indicating that behavior isn't characteristic.
Again
Repeating a particular situation or feeling.
Go catch a chorus
Encouraging someone to capture a musical part or indulge in drinking tears metaphorically.
Or drink a tear
Suggesting a person being emotionally abandoned and left to dry.
She's left drying on the faucet
Symbolizing a person left alone in a vulnerable state.
Underneath the mirror of an
Referring to a specific location in Osaka, Japan.
Osakan hallway
Describing a moment after the passing of trains.
After trains have passed
Recalling a memory associated with shame over an act of theft.
Where I still felt the shame of stealing your flute after class
Recognizing an unfulfillable debt of guilt.
It's a debt I owe, but I know that it can't be paid
Understanding an impossible restitution.
When you tell me that I'm only wide awake
Reacting to being informed about being fully awake.
Cause I'm scared to find out I'm not
Expressing fear of a potential realization.
Oh no
An exclamation of worry or concern.
Well la-di-da-di-da
Used as a nonsensical filler phrase.
La-di-da-di-da
Continuation of nonsensical filler phrase.
You'll be walking off with my head
Expectation of someone taking away the speaker's dignity or self-respect.
In a way I can allow
Acceptance of a certain outcome or treatment.
I'm a sailor
Reiteration of being a sailor.
But I'm in wake again
Repetition of feeling alert or aroused once more.
It's not the way I am
Reaffirming that behavior isn't typical.
Again
Repeating a particular situation or feeling.
