Lyrics
Walking alone through an ocean of people
Expressing a sense of isolation while surrounded by a crowd.
Traffic and stoplights and churches with steeples
Highlighting the external elements of life, like traffic and churches.
It's loud and its busy but all I can hear is your voice
Amid the noise, the singer can only focus on the memory of a specific voice.
I've searched for your beauty in plenty of places
Searching for the beauty of a person in various places.
Plenty of people I've wasted my days with
Acknowledging past relationships that were not fulfilling.
But all I wanna do is run back home to you
Desire to return to a specific person, indicating a deep connection.
Cause I get attached way too easily
Admitting a tendency to form emotional attachments easily.
And I've never learned how to exactly
Reflecting on a lack of knowledge regarding detachment.
How to let go
Expressing the difficulty of letting go.
I don't I don't know
Reiteration of the uncertainty about how to detach.
How to let go of you
Stating the challenge of letting go of a specific person.
How to let go of you
Repeating the struggle with releasing someone significant.
There's so many things I wish I could say to you
Expressing unspoken feelings and thoughts towards the person.
So many times I've held on too tight to you
Acknowledging a history of holding on too tightly to the person.
Way too many thoughts swimming around in my head
Dealing with overwhelming thoughts and emotions.
My mind is a thunderstorm like ones in the movies
Comparing the mind to a thunderstorm filled with uncertainties.
A whirlwind of what if's and do they's and could we's
Mentioning the chaos of hypothetical scenarios and uncertainties.
If this is too much for you please won't you tell me
Requesting honesty if the emotional intensity is too much for the other person.
Cause I get attached way too easily
Reiterating a tendency to form attachments easily.
And I've never learned how to exactly
Highlighting the lack of knowledge regarding detachment.
How to let go
Repeating the difficulty of letting go.
I don't I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty about the process of detachment.
How to let go of you
Expressing the challenge of releasing a specific person.
How to let go of you
Repeating the struggle with letting go of someone significant.
Let go of you
Emphasizing the theme of releasing the person.
All I ever wanted was someone to want me
Desiring reciprocated feelings and connection in a relationship.
Someone to know me someone to hold me
Expressing the yearning for understanding, companionship, and comfort.
Thought you were the one now I'm standing here lonely
Reflecting on a perceived failed relationship and resulting loneliness.
Now we'll never know just how good that we could be
Regret over the uncertainty of the potential greatness of the relationship.
Don't want to let go but it's you that I'm wanting
Conflicted feelings about wanting to hold on despite the desire to let go.
Don't want to be alone in this race that I'm running
Expressing a reluctance to face challenges alone.
To look in your eyes get lost in your smile
Describing the desire to experience positive emotions through the other person.
To feel your embrace in my arms for a while
Longing for the physical closeness and warmth of the person.
The more I reach the more you fade away
Expressing the difficulty of maintaining a connection as it fades away.
The more you fade the more I wish you had stayed
Increasing desire for the person as they become more distant.
Cause I get attached way too easily
Acknowledging the tendency to form emotional attachments easily.
I've never learned how to exactly
Reiterating a lack of knowledge regarding detachment.
How to let go
Repeating the difficulty of letting go.
I don't I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty about the process of detachment.
