Lyrics
If only I had listened for a while
Regret for not paying attention earlier
I would have told you I miss your smile
Expressing a longing for the other person's smile
I thought of you as a
Viewing the person as a friend who's difficult to move on from
Friend who can't let go
The sense of holding onto the friendship despite feelings
But when you left I could feel it grow
Realizing emotions growing stronger after their departure
Like a body of water
Comparing emotions to a body of water
Seeping through the edges of my soul
Feelings seeping into the depths of the soul
And getting hotter
Intensification of emotions
It was never under my control, you know
Emphasizing the lack of control over these emotions
I see the door you closed is open wide
Recognition of an opportunity for personal growth
And a better version of me inside
A belief in self-improvement behind the open door
Let me in, let me stay there for a while
Desire to be accepted and embraced by the other person
I feel it now when I see that smile
Feeling the impact of the other person's smile
Like a body of water
Reiteration of emotions akin to a body of water
Seeping through the edges of my soul
Feelings permeating deeply into the soul
And getting hotter
Intensity increasing
It was never under my control, you know
Expressing the lack of control over these deepening emotions
Some things change are lost then found
Reflection on changes, losses, and retrievals
Or gone forever
Pondering permanence of loss
But this is what you are to me
Describing the significance of the person in the singer's life
Like a body of water
Continuation of the comparison of emotions to a body of water
Seeping through the edges of my soul
Emotions deeply affecting the essence of the soul
And getting hotter
Intensification of emotional impact
It was never under my control, you know
Reiteration of the lack of control over these emotions
