Lyrics
Let me come home
Expressing a desire to return home.
It's getting dark now
Noting the darkening situation or emotions.
But I'm still on
Despite challenges, still persevering.
I'm starting to roam
Embarking on a journey or exploration.
Can you hear me?
Asking if the listener can hear the speaker.
At all
Questioning the level of recognition or understanding.
And I'm trying to say
Attempting to communicate a message.
To say goodbye
Expressing the difficulty of saying goodbye.
Cos I can't lie
Stating an intention not to deceive.
It's time to leave
Indicating that it's time to depart.
You can throw me away
Allowing the possibility of rejection.
Take a piece of what I was
Suggesting the listener takes a memory or part of the speaker.
So they can see
Enabling others to perceive the potential in the speaker.
What I could be
Highlighting the speaker's unrealized potential.
I'm gonna stand on the table top
Expressing a determination to make a statement.
Get loud 'til they come shut me down
Promising to be vocal until silenced.
Not long 'til I gotta stop
Acknowledging an impending cessation.
But I'm glad I spoke at all
Finding satisfaction in having expressed oneself.
Shout out from the table top
Extending greetings loudly from a prominent position.
And I'm lighting up the walls
Illuminating surroundings with personal presence.
Not long 'til they turn me off but
Anticipating being silenced but vowing to persist.
I'll keep running, keep running yeah
Committing to keep moving forward despite challenges.
You're waiting around
Observing someone waiting and seeking answers.
Asking me questions
Being questioned about familiar matters.
That I should know
Suggesting the need for time to acquire answers.
And maybe someday
Expressing a possibility of future connection.
You can tell the answers
Proposing a future exchange of information.
I said hello
Greeting with a smile despite brokenness.
With a broken smile
Trying to listen despite distance.
I try to hear you
Noting the distant voice of the interlocutor.
But your voice is far away
Describing a soft-spoken nature.
It's soft spoken
Reiterating the possibility of rejection.
You can throw me away
Encouraging the taking of a part of the speaker.
Take a piece of what I was
Revealing a broken aspect for others to witness.
So they can see
Allowing others to see what needs mending.
Just what was broken
Emphasizing a broken element in the speaker.
I'm gonna stand on the table top
Reiterating a determination to make a statement.
Get loud 'til they come shut me down
Promising to be vocal until silenced.
Not long 'til I gotta stop
Acknowledging an impending cessation.
But I'm glad I spoke at all
Finding satisfaction in having expressed oneself.
Shout out from the table top
Extending greetings loudly from a prominent position.
And I'm lighting up the walls
Illuminating surroundings with personal presence.
Not long 'til they turn me off but
Anticipating being silenced but vowing to persist.
I'll keep running, keep running yeah
Committing to keep moving forward despite challenges.
