Yellow Lines
Yearning in the Night: The Emotional Journey of 'Yellow Lines'
Lyrics
I'm sat on a curb
The speaker is seated on a curb.
I tried to call you
The speaker attempted to contact someone.
It's four am and you decline me
It's 4 am, and the person being contacted declined the speaker's call.
Nowhere to stay
The speaker doesn't have a place to stay.
I feel like I'm slowly fraying away
The speaker feels like they are slowly falling apart or losing themselves.
It's four am and you decline my call
Reiteration that it's 4 am, and the person declined the speaker's call.
And all I wanna know
The speaker wants to know something.
Is if you'll cross those lines
The speaker wonders if the person will break boundaries or take risks.
Cross those lines to get to me
Asking if the person will take those risks to reach the speaker.
And all I wanna know
Repetition of the desire to know something.
Is if you'll cross those lines
Asking again if the person will break boundaries.
Cross those lines to get to me
Reiterating the hope that the person will take risks to connect.
It's freezing cold
Describing the weather as extremely cold.
I'm growing old
The speaker feels time passing and getting older while waiting.
Waiting here, the sign
Waiting for something indicated by a sign suggesting the time until the next train.
Says twelve till the next train gets here
Describing the waiting period until the next train arrives.
You ring the bell to call me out
The other person tries to confront the speaker about past words or actions.
On all the shit I said
The speaker admits to saying something wrong.
But in the end
Despite the confession, the person denies the speaker's words or actions.
You deny it
Emphasizing the denial by the other person.
And all I wanna know
The speaker wants to know something again.
Is if you'll cross those lines
Repeating the inquiry about breaking boundaries or taking risks.
Cross those lines to get to me
Asking if the person will go beyond limits to reach the speaker.
And all I wanna know
Reiterating the desire to know something.
Is if you'll cross those lines
Repeating the question about breaking boundaries.
Cross those lines to get to me
Reiterating the hope that the person will take risks to connect.
The night ended so quickly
The night passed quickly.
I said all the wrong things but clearly
The speaker acknowledges saying the wrong things but feels they were misunderstood.
If I was in the right mind sincerely
The speaker questions their state of mind during the situation.
And all I wanna know
Desire to know something reiterated.
Is if you'll cross those lines
Repeated query about breaking boundaries or taking risks.
Cross those lines to get to me
Asking if the person will go beyond limits to reach the speaker.
And all I wanna know
Reiterating the desire to know something.
Is if you'll cross those lines
Repeating the question about breaking boundaries.
Cross those lines to get to me
Reiterating the hope that the person will take risks to connect.
