Lyrics
People movin' in
Introduction of people coming in.
People movin' out
Introduction of people moving out.
I do my best to keep a space for you.
The speaker is making an effort to reserve a space for someone.
But the bed and the body and the brain they still lay bare.
Despite efforts, the bed, body, and mind remain empty or unfulfilled.
And I can pretend like this is just a test for you,
The speaker suggests the situation is a test, but uncertainty exists about who truly cares.
But I can't tell who's really there.
Difficulty discerning genuine presence in the relationship.
I only ever see.
The speaker only perceives without a clear understanding.

So take the best and make it good for you.
Encouraging to take the best for oneself.
To forget and to beg and to bury is only fair.
Acceptance of forgetting, begging, and burying as a fair part of life.
Oh, nothing ever matters till you turn it around,
Nothing holds importance until it is reversed or changed.
And, nothing's ever real until you left it behind,
Reality is only felt when left behind.
But sure, what did I do?
The speaker reflects on their actions without clear answers.
Sure, what did I do?
