Lyrics
You don't have to say every word you're thinking
You don't have to express every thought verbally.
And maybe leave your phone off when you're drinking
Suggesting to turn off your phone while drinking to avoid impulsive actions or messages.
Cause you said you wouldn't talk about August
Referring to a promise not to discuss a specific event that happened in August.
Never saw the side of you you said was honest
Discovering an unexpected, less truthful side of the person.
I won't be home waiting
Not staying at home in anticipation or waiting.
You said that you could close
Assuming the ability to bridge the distance between two people.
The space and time between
Referring to the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship.
Don't make those promises
Caution against making promises that may not be kept.
Cause that's not what you mean
Emphasizing the importance of sincerity in promises.
15 hour flight
Mentioning a lengthy flight, possibly symbolizing the challenges in the relationship.
You said you'd take to me
Recalling a promise to communicate during the extended flight.
You still have me in your dreams
Acknowledging being present in the other person's dreams.
But I'm not losing sleep
Asserting that the speaker is not losing sleep over the situation, indicating resilience.
I'm over getting calls saying you miss me
Expressing independence and not wanting to be bothered by calls expressing longing.
I woke up to hear you're moving to my city
Discovering that the person is relocating to the speaker's city.
I won't be home waiting
Reiteration of not waiting at home for the other person.
You said that you could close
Repeating the idea of bridging the distance, possibly with skepticism.
The space and time between
Reemphasizing the caution against making unrealistic promises.
Don't make those promises
Stressing the importance of sincerity in commitments.
Cause that's not what you mean
Reiteration of the idea that promises should reflect true intentions.
15 hour flight
Recalling the lengthy flight, perhaps as a metaphor for relationship challenges.
You said you'd take to me
Reiterating a promise of communication during the extended flight.
You still have me in your dreams
Acknowledging being present in the other person's dreams, perhaps with detachment.
But I'm not losing sleep
Reaffirming that the speaker is not losing sleep over the situation, maintaining emotional resilience.
