Lyrics

Time goes by

Reflecting on the passage of time

Till I find

Expressing the search for something meaningful

Something I want to say to you

Desire to communicate with someone

I lied

Admitting to dishonesty

Only because

Explaining the lie due to the other person's lack of truthfulness

You wouldn't tell the truth

Acknowledging the difficulty in trusting the other person

I miss

Expressing a sense of longing or nostalgia

All that you aren't

Missing qualities that the other person lacks

And what you said you'd do

Referring to unfulfilled promises

More time goes by

Continuation of the passage of time

I still haven't found

Struggling to find words for communication

Something to say to you

Persistence in the difficulty of expressing oneself

And everything gets complicated and lost in

Highlighting the complexity and confusion in life

All of feelings and everywhere I've been

Feeling lost amid various emotions and experiences

Don't need a rhyme don't need a reason

Emphasizing a lack of necessity for explanations

Or maybe the reason could be oh I still feel it

Suggesting lingering feelings without a clear cause

You, I always thought it'd be you

Expressing an expectation that the person in mind would always be present

I wish it was you, but

Wishing for the presence of a specific person

There's nothing else I can do

Resignation to the inability to change the current situation

Time alone has

Highlighting the comfort found in solitude over time

Been more comfortable

Surprising comfort in being alone compared to expectations

Than I thought it'd be

Reflecting on the anticipated discomfort of solitude

Usually

Normally expecting the addressed person to be the preferred company

You'd be the only one

The person addressed as the preferred choice for companionship

That I'd want to see

Expressing a desire to see the addressed person

And everything gets complicated and lost in

Reiteration of the complexity and confusion in life

All of the feelings that I've had since Boston

Emotional turmoil experienced since a specific event in Boston

Don't need a rhyme don't need a reason

Reiterating the lack of need for explanations

Or maybe the reason could be oh that I still feel it

Suggesting lingering feelings without a clear cause

You, I always thought it'd be you

Reaffirming the expectation of the addressed person's perpetual presence

I wish it was you, but

Reiterating the wish for the presence of the specific person

There's nothing else I can do

Acceptance of the inability to change the current situation

Oh you, I always thought it'd be you

Reaffirming the expectation of the addressed person's perpetual presence

I wish he was you, but

Expressing a wish for the presence of another person

There's nothing else I can do

Acceptance of the inability to change the current situation
