Lyrics

1 for 7 I swear I did everything right

Expressing regret for past actions, claiming to have done everything correctly but still facing negative outcomes.

But I guess it wasn't good enough

Acknowledging that efforts were insufficient or not up to the expected standard.

Now and again I'll stare at the ceiling at night

Reflecting on the consequences of past actions, possibly feeling a sense of guilt or remorse.

And wonder what I could've done

Pondering what might have been done differently to alter the outcome of a situation.


Chorus-

< em > Chorus: Introducing a recurring theme or reflection on a long span of time.

For a million years pass

Questioning the duration it takes to overcome a difficult experience or emotional hardship.

Am I over it?

Pondering whether the emotional impact has subsided.

For centuries now I've dreamed of you

Expressing enduring dreams or thoughts about someone over an extended period.

When day fights the night over and over

Describing the ongoing struggle between day and night, possibly symbolizing internal conflicts or challenges.

I'll be here in this hole

Committing to a persistent presence in a difficult situation or emotional state.

Trying to bury your bones

Metaphorically attempting to bury the memories or emotions associated with a past relationship.


7 for 1 you never could trust anyone

Highlighting a lack of trust in others, possibly stemming from negative experiences.

With your tail between your legs you run

Describing a retreat or escape, emphasizing vulnerability.

When thunder crashes outside of your window at night

Using thunder as a metaphor for challenges or conflicts outside, stating a commitment to staying despite difficulties.

This stray would stay no matter what

Expressing loyalty or determination to remain steadfast in a relationship or situation.


Chorus-

< em > Chorus: Revisiting the theme of enduring time and its impact on emotional healing.


You wasted something that we made

Referring to the waste or loss of something valuable that was once shared.

You hated the love that I gave

Expressing resentment for not appreciating or reciprocating the love given.

I waited but you faded away so

Waiting for a person or relationship that eventually fades away.

Cheers to these dog years

Toasting or acknowledging the passage of time spent in emotional hardship or difficult experiences.

Trying to bury your bones

Continuing the metaphor of burying bones, symbolizing attempts to move on or let go.
