Lyrics

Would it matter if I fell, when I'm only hanging on by a fingernail?

Contemplating the significance of potential failure while barely holding on.

These thoughts aren't hollow, I'm just homesick

Emphasizing that the thoughts are not empty; feeling a deep longing for home.

The distance is making me think of every possibility

Reflecting on various outcomes due to the emotional distance.

I'm forgetting the difference in the air I'm breathing now

Losing awareness of the difference in the current atmosphere.

And I breathe when I'm home, don't let me breathe alone

Expressing the need for companionship at home, not wanting to face solitude.

It comes and it goes

Describing the intermittent nature of a feeling or state.

Ebbs and it flows

Referring to the fluctuating nature of a situation.

All I've got left is a body housing more broken bones than you can guess

Highlighting a body with numerous fractures, indicating emotional scars.

If I let it get the better of me

Concern about succumbing to the emotional challenges.

Then cast me to the wind

Willingness to be released from emotional burdens.

So I can save all that's left in the place you'll never see inside my head

Preserving inner thoughts from external scrutiny.


These thoughts aren't hollow, I'm just homesick

Reiteration of deep emotions and a sense of longing for home.

The distance is making me think of every possibility

Contemplating potential outcomes due to emotional distance.

I'm forgetting the difference in the air I'm breathing now

Losing awareness of the present environment's impact.

And I breathe when I'm home, don't let me breathe alone

Expressing the desire not to face solitude when at home.

Would it matter if I fell, when I'm only hanging on by a fingernail?

Reiterating the precariousness of the current situation.


I'm forgetting the difference in the air I'm breathing now

Losing awareness of the atmospheric changes.

And I breathe when I'm home

Expressing the need for companionship at home.

Please don't let me breathe alone

Pleading not to face loneliness in the solitude of breathing.

The damage is done

Acknowledging irreversible damage.

Nothing I say can change what happened

Accepting the inability to change past events.

But hold my hand until the storm clears

Seeking support until a difficult period subsides.

I promise you, we will see the sun

Assuring that, despite challenges, a positive outcome will be reached.


These thoughts aren't hollow, I'm just homesick

Reiteration of deep emotions and a sense of longing for home.

The distance is making me think of every possibility

Contemplating potential outcomes due to emotional distance.

I'm forgetting the difference in the air I'm breathing now

Losing awareness of the present environment's impact.

And I breathe when I'm home, don't let me breathe alone.

Expressing the desire not to face solitude when at home.

We'll keep moving forward

Determination to move forward despite challenges.

Because nothing will fix what we'll always be

Acknowledging the permanence of certain aspects.

There's no cure for the void in my head

Acknowledging an insurmountable void in the mind.

But I won't let it destroy me

Commitment to resist being defeated by the void.
