Lyrics

Before I reach the sky above

Expressing a desire to achieve great heights or success in life.

I'll stretch my hands forever young

Commitment to maintaining a youthful and hopeful outlook.

Catching the rain in the middle of a summer storm

Symbolic imagery of capturing moments of beauty amidst challenges.


There's a fire on 41

Reference to a location (41) with a fire, possibly signifying turmoil.

Sirens fading to a hum

Emergency response sounds fading, suggesting a diminishing crisis.

The only escape takes me right back where I started from

Highlighting a cyclical nature where attempts to escape lead back to the starting point.


Oh, life won't be here long

Reflecting on life's brevity and the transient nature of existence.

But heaven knows I've had it all

Acknowledging a sense of fulfillment or completeness in life.

'Cause I was yours for a while

Affirmation of past connection or commitment to someone.

I was yours for a while

Reiteration of being someone's for a certain period.


If I could let my demons go

Expressing a desire to overcome personal struggles or inner conflicts.

If time could mend a broken soul

Hoping for healing and restoration of a wounded spirit over time.

Maybe one day I could bring love to a world so cold

Aspiring to bring love and warmth to a world characterized by coldness.


Oh, life won't be here long

Reiteration of life's transience, emphasizing the limited time available.

And heaven knows what I'll become

Uncertainty about the future and the unknown path ahead.

But I was yours for a while

Echoing the sentiment of belonging to someone for a specific duration.

I was yours for a while

Reaffirmation of past connection or commitment within a defined timeframe.
