Out of My Hands
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Out of My Hands by The Donnas
Lyrics
I'm sick of the state we're in
I'm frustrated with our current situation.
And every little thread is wearing thin
Every aspect of our connection is becoming weak.
I've been livin' life in the slow lane
I've been leading a slow-paced life.
But somethings got to change
A change is necessary.
What time is it where you are
Asking about the time difference between the speaker and the person they are addressing.
You're in bed, I'm at a bar
Describing the different places the speaker and the other person are currently in.
Right now opposites subtract
Highlighting the contrast between the speaker and the other person.
And I don't know if I can bridge the gap
Expressing uncertainty about bridging the gap between the speaker and the other person.
The phone bills, and missed calls, have
Mentioning the challenges of phone bills and missed calls in their relationship.
got us they've got us
Emphasizing the impact of external factors on their relationship.
At the mercy of a mile
Feeling vulnerable and at the mercy of distance or circumstances.
In no place to make demands
Being unable to make demands due to the situation.
I'll make it worth your while
Promising to make the relationship worthwhile in the future.
But right now it's out of my hands
Stating that the current situation is beyond the speaker's control.
It's out of my hands
Reiterating the lack of control over the circumstances.
Ode to sleep pillows and sheets
Referring to sleep, indicating an unexpected place for connection.
The last place I'd expect us to meet
Expressing surprise at finding a connection in an unexpected place.
I'll be back before you know
Assuring a quick return to the other person.
So don't worry if you're running low
Reassuring the other person not to worry about running low emotionally.
The phone bills, and missed calls, have
Repeating the impact of phone bills and missed calls on their relationship.
got us, they've got us hanging
Highlighting the hanging or uncertain nature of their relationship due to external factors.
