Lyrics
I could watch you run away
I feel like I could watch you leave
With all the things I learned to say
Despite having learned to express myself
Head in the Ohio sky
Immersed in a state of contemplation, possibly referencing Ohio
Beside you I thought I'd die
With you, I thought my life was complete
Will I build another home
Contemplating whether to create a new emotional space
Where all my secrets are known
A place where all my hidden truths are acknowledged
Our plants we hung them from the sky
Symbolic reference to shared memories, hanging like plants in the sky
And beside you I thought I'd die
Again, with you, the speaker thought their life was fulfilled
I can act and hold my head up
Despite being able to maintain composure, it's not the envisioned life
But this is not what I dreamed of
Expressing a sense of unfulfilled dreams
Slipping between blood and blue
Caught between intense emotions, represented by blood and blue
I hope you know how much I'll miss you
Expressing a deep sense of loss and longing
Comb my hair and go to bed
A routine activity, like combing hair, before facing the reality of separation
Next to all the books we never read
Next to unread books, symbolizing unrealized potential or shared experiences
Hanging on in quiet nights
Hanging on during silent nights, finding solace in the midst of challenges
Some part of this will be alright
Believing that some part of the situation will eventually be okay
Left with all the words unsaid
Left with unspoken thoughts and emotions
One day I'll get out of my head
Anticipating a future escape from overwhelming thoughts
You saw me whole you saw me crack
Being seen both as a whole person and with vulnerabilities
How can I lift something like that
Struggling with the weight of emotional burdens
I can lie and hold my head up
Despite telling lies, unable to escape thoughts of the person
But you're in every word it dreams up,
The person is intricately woven into the speaker's thoughts
Painting lines in blood in blue
Creating lasting memories represented by lines in blood and blue
I hope you know how much I'll miss you
Reiterating the profound sense of missing the person
Our plants we hung them from the sky
Repeating the symbolism of shared memories hanging like plants in the sky
