Lyrics

I don't have to leave anymore

The speaker no longer feels the need to depart.

What I have is right here

They realize that everything they need is present in their current situation.

Spend my nights and days before

Prior to this realization, they spent extensive time searching.

Searching the world for what's right here

They searched globally for something that was actually close by.


Underneath and unexplored

There were unexplored and hidden aspects in their surroundings.

Islands and cities I have looked

The speaker scouted various locations like islands and cities.

Here I saw

In this exploration, they witnessed something important.

Something I couldn't over look

They noticed something significant that couldn't be ignored.


I am yours now

There's a commitment or surrender to someone or something.

So now I don't ever have to leave

Now, they feel there's no necessity to depart anymore.

I've been found out

They've been discovered or understood.

So now I'll never explore

As a result, they won't seek new experiences or ventures.


See what I've done

The speaker acknowledges their actions and consequences.

That bridge is on fire

There's a situation in chaos or turmoil.

Going back to where I've been

Returning to a familiar place or state.

I'm froze by desire

Feeling immobilized by strong longing or yearning.

No need to leave

No urge exists to depart from the current situation.


Where would I be

Contemplating the hypothetical scenario of loss or failure.

IF this were to go under

Considering the outcome if everything were to collapse.

It's a risk I'd take

Expressing willingness to take a risk if needed.

I'm froze by desire

Similar feeling of being immobilized by desire as mentioned earlier.

As if a choice I'd make

Feeling as though they have no real choice due to desire's influence.


I am yours now

Reiterating commitment or surrender to someone or something.

So now I don't ever have to leave

Affirming the lack of necessity to depart anymore.

I've been found out

Reaffirming being understood or exposed.

So now I'll never explore

Deciding not to pursue further exploration or new experiences.
