Lyrics

I saw the things that could be

I observed potential possibilities

And now they're gone to stay

Those possibilities have now become permanent

You know that I can't take this

Expressing inability to endure the situation

I can't watch this go away

Unable to witness the deterioration


It's not the things you told me

Emphasizing that it's not about the information received

It's not the times you stayed

It's not about the duration of companionship

I know I fucked up

Admitting to making mistakes

I can't make this go away

Feeling powerless to rectify the situation


She kneels to pray

Describing someone kneeling in prayer

Things gone astray

Things have deviated from the expected path

Against the grain

Going against conventional norms or expectations


It wasn't what it should be

Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state

It wasn't all the ways

It wasn't as anticipated in various aspects

I learnt to watch what's coming

Learned to be cautious about approaching events

Now I know it comes my way

Acknowledging that challenges are inevitable


At times we lost it all

Experiencing loss on multiple occasions

And all the times we've went astray

Acknowledging past deviations from the right path

We knew that we fucked up

Recognizing and admitting mistakes

And now I know there's just no way

Realizing the impossibility of fixing the situation


She kneels to pray

Depicting another instance of prayer amidst chaos

Things gone astray

Reiteration of things going awry

Against the grain

Persisting against societal norms or expectations


I've counted

Enumerating and reflecting on various aspects

I've counted all the ways

Counting all the possible ways

It's spinning heads today

A sense of disorientation or confusion

You say there is no way

Denial of alternative solutions

It works against the grain

Actions contradicting established norms or expectations


I saw the things that could be

Reiteration of witnessing potential outcomes

And now they're gone to stay

Those potential outcomes are now irrevocable

You knew that I can't take this

Acknowledging the inability to endure the situation

I can't watch this float away

Unable to watch things drift away

It's not the things you told me

Emphasizing that it's not about received information

It's not the times you stayed

It's not about the duration of companionship

I know I fucked up, I can't make this go away

Admitting to mistakes and the inability to fix them


She kneels to pray

Depiction of prayer amidst chaos

Things gone astray

Reiteration of things going awry

Against the grain

Persisting against societal norms or expectations


I've counted

Enumerating and reflecting on various aspects

I've counted all the ways

Counting all the possible ways

It's spinning heads today

A sense of disorientation or confusion

You say there is no way

Denial of alternative solutions

It works against the grain

Actions contradicting established norms or expectations
