Lyrics
Well, I almost laughed
Expressing a near-laughing experience
Down the tears that I saw
Referring to holding back tears observed in your eyes
Welling in your eyes
Describing tears welling up in the eyes
And the kiss from a bird
Mentioning a symbolic kiss from a bird
Flying by my side
Referencing a bird flying alongside during an airplane ride
On an airplane ride
Highlighting the experience of being on an airplane
On an airplane ride
Repeating the theme of an airplane ride
See the world spin 'round
Observing the world spinning while feeling stationary
While I hover at home
Contrasting the experience of being at home while the world moves
On the borderline
Describing a situation at the borderline, possibly of emotions or experiences
It's all so out of reach
Expressing a sense of things being unattainable
Like the peace they hide
Comparing unattainable peace to something hidden
On an airplane ride
Reiterating the theme of an airplane ride
On an airplane ride
Repeating the idea of being on an airplane ride
On an airplane ride
Emphasizing the ongoing experience of the airplane ride
Given time, given time, given time, given time, given time
Repetition of "given time," suggesting the passage of time
I am almost there
Expressing proximity to a destination or goal
As I swim at the bottom of the ocean
Using swimming at the bottom of the ocean metaphorically
Like an instant rerun
Comparing an experience to an instant rerun, possibly a recurring pattern
From a shipwrecked shrine
Referring to a shipwrecked shrine, suggesting a place of significance
On an airplane ride
Reiterating the theme of an airplane ride
On an airplane ride
Repeating the idea of being on an airplane ride
On an airplane ride
Emphasizing the ongoing experience of the airplane ride
Given time, given time, given time, given time, given time
Repetition of "given time," continuing the theme of the passage of time
Given time, given time, given time, given time, given time
Concluding with a repetition of "given time," reinforcing the concept of time's influence
