Lyrics
I made a start but fell apart
I started something but failed to continue successfully.
I tripped and lost momentum
I stumbled and lost my forward motion or progress.
That plan I hatched will never see the light of day
A plan I devised will never come to fruition.
The superman I planned to be couldn't fly and floored your story
The idealized version of myself ("superman") I aimed to be couldn't live up to expectations and disrupted your narrative.
And now my days a haze of lazy days at sea
My current situation is a blur of unproductive and relaxed days.
So I'll carry on like nothings wrong
I will continue as if everything is normal or unaffected.
Had the lead and let them catch you
I had an advantage but allowed others to catch up.
That dream I held so close now in the hands of someone new
A dream I cherished is now in the possession of someone else.
The superman I planned to be couldn't fly and floored your story
Similar to line 4, the idealized version of the speaker ("superman") disrupted the listener's story.
Now the haze in which I gaze through spoils my view
The unclear situation through which I look now spoils my perspective.
And I never took the bate
I resisted a temptation or provocation.
I should appreciate the times I looked into your eyes
I should value and be grateful for the moments I looked into your eyes.
And I never took the bate
Reiteration of line 13, emphasizing the speaker's resistance to temptation.
I should appreciate the times I looked into your eyes
Reiteration of line 14, emphasizing the importance of cherishing eye-contact moments.
You got Touchy feely far too needy
Criticizing someone for being overly touchy-feely and excessively needy.
Had a hold but held too tightly
The person had a grip on something but held onto it too tightly.
Convinced you both want this but I don't think you do
Believing that both parties want the same thing, but the speaker doubts this.
The superman you planned to be couldn't fly and floored your story
Similar to lines 4 and 10, questioning the listener's idealized version of themselves ("superman").
Now hearts to hearts and missing parts will get us through
Hearts-to-hearts and missing parts are necessary for overcoming challenges.
And I never took the bate
Reiteration of line 13, emphasizing the speaker's resistance to temptation.
I should appreciate the times I looked into your eyes
Reiteration of line 14, underlining the importance of appreciating moments of eye contact.
And I never took the bate
Reiteration of line 13, once again highlighting the speaker's resistance to temptation.
I shouldappreciate the times I looked into your eyes
Reiteration of line 14, reinforcing the idea of appreciating moments of eye contact.
