Ups and Downsizing
Navigating Life's Crossroads: The Swellers' Ups and Downsizing Story
Lyrics
There's so many songs of sitting cold in the waiting cars outside.
Reflecting on the common theme of waiting in cold cars in numerous songs.
But someone had to build them right.
Acknowledging the necessity of constructing those waiting cars properly.
And if we ever sell this house,
Contemplating the idea of selling the current home.
we'll pack our bags and move down south.
Expressing a willingness to relocate, packing bags and moving to a warmer place.
Somewhere warmer where no one will notice
Desiring a place where the choice of car won't be judged the first time.
the car we drive for the first time.
Seeking anonymity in a new location.
And so we freeze and then thaw out.
Describing the cyclical nature of facing challenges and overcoming them.
Do you ever wonder if we should leave
Pondering the possibility of leaving the current situation.
or ride this out?
Considering whether to endure the challenges or leave.
Do you ever wonder
Repeating the questioning of the worthiness of the undertaken journey.
was it worth it now?
Questioning the value of the past actions.
It's hard to be afraid.
Expressing difficulty in feeling fear.
You're singing rustbelt lullabies.
Describing a unique type of lullaby associated with the rustbelt region.
I'll fall asleep if you give me time
Expressing readiness to rest and discover the outcome of current struggles.
to find out where I'll wake up.
Anticipating an uncertain future location upon waking up.
There's not much room left in this state.
Indicating limited space remaining in the current state.
It hits home harder when you're still days away.
Highlighting the emotional impact of being physically distant from home.
The "for sale" sign is familiar but never feels right.
Expressing discomfort with the familiarity of the "for sale" sign.
And so we freeze and then thaw out.
Reiterating the cyclical process of facing challenges and overcoming them.
Do you ever wonder if we should leave
Persisting in the contemplation of leaving the current situation.
or ride this out?
Pondering whether enduring challenges is the right choice.
Do you ever wonder was it worth it now?
Repeating the questioning of the worthiness of the undertaken journey.
I'm finding the beauty in everything since we said our goodbyes.
Finding positivity and beauty in everything after parting ways.
Now we take what we get.
Accepting and appreciating whatever comes their way now.
I have clothes for every occasion now.
Indicating preparedness for various life situations with a diverse wardrobe.
I know. Don't feel so alone.
Reassuring someone not to feel isolated.
It's looking up.
Expressing optimism and a positive outlook on the current situation.
Do you ever wonder was it worth it now?
Reiterating the inquiry into the value of past actions.
And so we freeze and then thaw out.
Describing the cyclical nature of facing challenges and overcoming them.
Do you ever wonder if we should leave
Persisting in the contemplation of leaving the current situation.
or ride this out?
Pondering whether enduring challenges is the right choice.
Do you ever wonder was it worth it now?
Repeating the questioning of the worthiness of the undertaken journey.
