Lyrics
I've been having to look twice
I've been observing more closely than usual
To see real faces
It's challenging to identify genuine emotions on people's faces
Cause I lost your mind
Because I've lost your sanity or rationality
And the box it came in
Referring to a metaphorical "box" containing someone's identity or essence
And all I hear is that
All I hear is that things will get better
It'll pass
Despite assurances, my fear persists
Though all I fear is you're
My primary fear is that you've moved on
Over that
Suggesting a concern that the person has emotionally moved past the relationship
Maybe it's the cold that brought me down
Speculating whether the emotional coldness is affecting me
Maybe it's the toll for the sinner
Considering if the difficulties are a consequence of past wrongdoing
Or maybe it's the hope that showed me up
Or perhaps it's the optimism that betrayed me
Gotta work it down
Emphasizing the need to actively address problems rather than passively waiting
Not just sit around
Stressing the importance of taking action instead of idly waiting
Or maybe it's winter
Suggesting that the difficulties might be analogous to the challenges of winter
So I heard you're a calendar and
Referring to the partner as a calendar, possibly someone who organizes time
Baby I'm the same
Highlighting a similarity between the speaker and the partner
Though all my plannings seem to
Expressing frustration that plans often don't lead to the desired outcomes
End in vain
Suggesting that the partner's influence makes plans unsuccessful
She makes me miss you
Indicating that thoughts of the partner evoke a sense of loss
And caused my wounds to bleed
Describing emotional pain caused by the partner's actions
And now I'm scared you're scared to(o)
Expressing concern that the partner is also afraid
But I can't ask how you're feelin'
Feeling unable to inquire about the partner's emotional state
And maybe it's the cold that slowed me down
Considering whether emotional coldness has slowed personal progress
Maybe it's the soul of a sinner
Reflecting on the impact of past mistakes on the soul
Or maybe it's the hope that showed me up
Acknowledging that hope may have led to disappointment
Gotta work it down
Reiterating the need to actively address problems
I just can't hang around
Expressing an inability to linger or wait around
Or maybe it's winter
Suggesting that the difficulties are comparable to the challenges of winter
