Lyrics
So many miles to go,
Expressing the distance or challenges ahead.
Where I've been before,
Reflecting on past experiences or places visited.
Where I was left a man
Feeling abandoned or changed by a past relationship.
Tied around your sun
Metaphorically tied to someone's influence, hard to break free.
It wouldn't come undone,
Struggling with the consequences of a relationship.
Till I was pulled away.
Separated from the situation, possibly against one's will.
You're the heart of all I've ever learned,
Acknowledging the impact of a significant person on personal growth.
My mind is nowhere else but where we were,
Focused on memories of a shared experience with that person.
Yet I want nothing from you
Expressing a lack of material expectations from the person.
Swear that you'll leave me
Requesting a promise to part ways.
Swear that you could
Asking for assurance that the other person can leave.
Cos I can never do it
Admitting personal difficulty in ending the relationship.
The way you would
Recognizing the other person's ability to end things more effectively.
Slowly but surely
Anticipating a gradual detachment from the person.
You'll slip out of my head
Expecting the person to gradually fade from thoughts.
You're everywhere my heart ends and you'll be the good
Linking the person to positive aspects of oneself.
Side of what I am
Recognizing the positive influence the person had on the speaker.
My secrets run again
Revealing personal secrets in the context of the relationship.
In your summer rains
Associating emotional experiences with specific weather conditions.
In a midtown shuttle train
Recalling shared moments during a commute.
If I could play it all again
Expressing a desire to redo past actions or decisions.
I won't trade it for a thing
Valuing the past experiences, unwilling to trade them for anything.
And I'd still be the lovin man
Commitment to remaining a loving person despite challenges.
I've got you on the edge of my memories
Keeping memories of the person at the forefront of one's thoughts.
And you're everything a man can need
Acknowledging the person as a crucial aspect of one's life.
Yet I want nothing from you
Reiterating the lack of material expectations from the person.
I know you won't ever sleep
Asserting the other person's persistent impact on the speaker.
Good things only last a dream
Recognizing the transient nature of positive experiences.
They only last for a dream
Emphasizing the ephemeral nature of positive dreams.
