Navigating Relationships: Emotional Struggles and Growth
Lyrics
I was thinking about the last time that I saw you
I was reflecting on the most recent encounter with you.
Fighting jet lag in your time zone
Struggling with the effects of jet lag in your time zone.
You could tell that I was struggling with the ATM
You could sense my difficulty with the ATM.
When you said that you could cover me
You offered to cover for me, indicating a sense of support.
We made small talk along the way
We engaged in casual conversation during our journey.
We were talking about the bullet train, or so I thought
We discussed the bullet train, though there might be a misunderstanding.
Making your eyes play tricks like camouflage
Your gaze deceives, playing tricks like camouflage.
You can't find yourself
A struggle to find one's identity.
But I don't wanna spend my time
Expressing a reluctance to waste time.
Just wishing that you would push me in
Not wanting to be in a situation where one hopes for a push.
When you know I can't swim
Highlighting vulnerability, especially in a situation where swimming is impossible.
I was thinking about the first time that I saw you
Reflecting on the initial meeting with you.
I forget all of the worst parts when you're around me
In your presence, negative aspects fade from memory.
I was covering my eyes again
Covering eyes metaphorically, possibly avoiding harsh realities.
From the selective honesty
Dealing with selective honesty, suggesting complexities in communication.
And you taught me how to fall asleep
You taught a coping mechanism for falling asleep, possibly in challenging circumstances.
Without all this misplaced guilt hanging over me
Avoiding unnecessary guilt, finding peace in sleep.
Making your eyes play tricks like camouflage
Your gaze still deceives, akin to camouflage.
You can't find yourself
The ongoing struggle to self-discovery.
But I don't wanna spend my time
Resisting the desire to be pushed into uncertain situations.
Just wishing that you would push me in
Avoiding a wish for assistance in situations where one is unable to navigate.
When you know I can't swim
Emphasizing the inability to swim, metaphorical of challenges or vulnerabilities.
