Lyrics
I said I told you everything but I left something out
There's something I didn't disclose despite saying I shared everything.
Underneath the stairwell
Hidden or suppressed feelings represented metaphorically ("underneath the stairwell").
That I'm under lock and key, but you can probably tell
I feel restrained or confined, but it might be noticeable to you.
A powder keg in a prison cell
I'm volatile and contained, like a dangerous situation waiting to erupt.
I wanna return but all you will do is turn to leave
Despite wanting to reconnect, the other person seems inclined to leave.
If I can find my way home, will you take hold of me?
Asking if they'll embrace me if I manage to find my way back.
I've been gone so long
Expressing a long absence.
I can barely say
I'm struggling to articulate due to the duration of my absence.
All I know is now I want to stay
Realization of a desire to stay now, contrasting with past departure.
Has it been too long since I went away?
Wondering if it's been too extended since I left.
Cause I'm trying to find the words but I can barely say
Difficulty in finding words to express due to prolonged absence.
Well I used to be the sun
I used to be prominent or significant.
Waiting silently but they barely noticed me
Despite my presence, I went unnoticed by others.
But I've been talking in my sleep when anybody sees they turn and run from me
Talking about personal issues but people avoid or reject me.
I want to return but all you will do is turn to leave
Desire to come back, but fearing rejection.
If I can find my way home, will you take hold of me?
Asking for acceptance if I find my way back.
Cause I've been gone so long
Reiterating a prolonged absence.
I can barely say
Struggling to articulate due to a lengthy absence.
All I know is now I want to stay
Expressing a newfound desire to remain.
Has it been too long since I went away?
Questioning if my absence has been too extended.
Cause I'm trying to find the words but I can barely say
Difficulty expressing thoughts due to prolonged absence.
I wanted to run
Desire to escape or flee.
I wanted to love and be loved in return
Wanting to give and receive love reciprocally.
But will I ever get back, do I know too much to return
Uncertainty about returning due to newfound knowledge.
I've been gone so long, I can barely say
Reiterating a prolonged absence.
All I know is now I wanna stay
Realization of a desire to remain now.
Has it been too long since I went away?
Questioning if my absence has been too extended.
Cause I'm trying to find the words but I can barely say
Difficulty expressing thoughts due to prolonged absence.
