Lyrics
Oh, tonight
Expressing a specific moment in time, possibly significant or emotional.
Under those old prairie skies
Referencing the vast skies of the prairie, setting the scene.
There's a lonely heart like yours that's breaking mine

In my life
Reflecting on personal experiences and limitations in life.
I've been about as far as I'll climb
Indicating a limited journey or progress in life.
And the winter's hiding our desire lines
Winter symbolizes a difficult time, hiding the natural longing for connection.
But I'm gonna wake you up
Expressing determination to awaken, rescue, and win over the other person, despite challenges.
Gonna break you out
-Gonna steal your heart
-And save you now
-Gonna try, gonna fight, gonna forget how
-And I'm a gonna tell you lies
Acknowledging the intention to deceive, disappoint, and make mistakes in the relationship.
Gonna let you down
-Gonna break your heart
-And grow up now
-Gonna try, gonna fight, gonna fuck up now
-Oh, you and me and the Enterprise

Gonna let you down
-Gonna break your heart
-Gonna grow up now
-Gonna try, gonna fight, gonna forget how
-But I'm gonna wake us up

Gonna break us out
