Lyrics
You live
You are alive
You try
You attempt
You climb
You strive to progress
You fall
You face setbacks
Today
Referring to the present moment
A wound
An emotional or physical injury
Opened to all
Vulnerability exposed to everyone
Come on now
Encouragement to engage in a cycle of building up and breaking down
Come on, build me up
-Come on now
-Come on, tear me down
-Come on now
-Come on, stitch me up
-Come on now
-Come on now
-I need you to
Repeated plea for someone to mend the speaker's wounds
I need you to make a stitch in me
-I need you to
-I need you to make a stitch in me
-I need you to
-I need you to make a stitch in me
-I need you to
-I need you to make a stitch in me
-A word
Describing a situation involving words, thoughts, and a loss that needs healing
A thought
-A loss befalls
-You sew me up and heal it all
-Come on now
Repetition of the cycle of building, breaking, and stitching up
Come on, build me up
-Come on now
-Come on, tear me down
-Come on now
-Come on, stitch me up
-Come on now
-Come on now
-I need you to
Continued plea for assistance in healing
I need you to make a stitch in me
-I need you to
-I need you to make a stitch in me
-I need you to
-I need you to make a stitch in me
-I need you to
-I need you to make a stitch in me
-Maybe you somehow hold back the dark
Suggesting that the person might prevent darkness or negativity
Maybe I'll wake without these scars
Expressing hope for waking up without emotional scars
You talk me down
Repetition of being talked down, possibly seeking comfort or reassurance
You talk me down
-You talk me down
-You talk me down
-You talk me down
-You talk me down
-You talk me down
-You talk me down
Continuation of seeking support and solace
