Lyrics

I was only asking for a moment of the truth

I was seeking honesty and truth in a brief moment of conversation.

I can't fight the feeling when I'm hanging out with you

My emotions are overwhelming when I spend time with you.

Why do I forgive you because I get confused

Despite confusion, I find it in me to forgive you.

I could never leave behind the part of me that you refuse

There's a part of myself connected to you that I cannot abandon, even if you reject it.


I was on the ceiling I could almost feel the sun

Imagining being on a high, hopeful metaphorical "ceiling" where I could feel the warmth of the sun.

Try the words in sequence but that's never how it's done

Attempting to articulate feelings in a specific order, though life doesn't always follow a planned sequence.

Why do our disasters creep so slowly into view

Reflecting on how problems gradually become apparent.

I was only after a friend to follow through I couldn't lose

Seeking a reliable friend who won't let me down.


I know why you don't really know me

Acknowledging that you don't truly understand who I am.

I don't think you can call it home

Doubting whether you can consider a place "home."

All alone I couldn't taste another thing

Feeling emotionally numb and unable to enjoy anything alone.


I was on the ceiling and I swore it might be true

Revisiting the metaphorical "ceiling" and questioning its authenticity.

I could fight the feeling but not quite as well as you could do

Struggling to resist emotions, not as effectively as you do.


I don't know, won't you come and show me

Expressing uncertainty and inviting someone to demonstrate or guide.

I don't think it's what you did before

Questioning the relevance of past actions in the present context.

All alone I couldn't take a kiss like you

Experiencing loneliness and longing for a connection like a kiss.
