Lyrics
We were tied through fear
We were emotionally connected due to fear.
In the hope we’d grow
We hoped that this connection would lead to personal growth.
Your retreat from home could end
Your departure from home could find resolution.
Where we slept beneath the side of my bed
We shared intimate moments, symbolized by sleeping together beside my bed.
In an empty house I shared with my friends
In a vacant house shared with friends, memories were created.
When the hope fades south
When optimism diminishes.
And the steps caved in
Steps collapse, suggesting a decline or failure.
When the embers hold below
The lingering emotions beneath the surface.
And remind me of you coming home
Reminders of you returning home.
To wash all the smoke from your clothes
Cleaning away the traces of hardship from your presence.
But I don’t mean to say
Clarification that not all love has vanished.
that all my love had turned away
Asserting that love has not entirely disappeared.
But I just need you for the weekend
Expressing a temporary need for your companionship.
Or a while
Indicating a desire for a short-term connection.
Are you right with god?
Questioning your spiritual alignment.
Was he on your side?
Wondering if God supported you in your endeavors.
As the days shrink back again
As time passes, retreating from challenges.
Turn to quiet, sink into dread
Sinking into a sense of foreboding and quiet desperation.
Shading all the thoughts in my head
Obscuring thoughts with shadows of doubt.
So, I speak with death
Engaging in a conversation with the concept of death.
Will he work with time?
Contemplating whether death collaborates with time.
To the days longer in light
Hoping for longer days filled with light.
He picks her from the back of my mind
The past resurfaces, altering perception.
Blots her out and changes my sight
Erasing memories and changing one's outlook.
And with the sense from you
Understanding that love has not completely faded.
That all my love had turned away
Reflecting on the belief that love had waned.
And I believed that for these weeks
Accepting this belief for a period of weeks.
And for a while
Enduring this feeling for a temporary duration.
I don’t mean to prepare for this
Not anticipating or getting ready for this situation.
I could never say why
Unable to explain the reasons behind these emotions.
I don’t need this now
Expressing a lack of need for the current situation.
But I just need you for the weekend or a while
Reiterating the desire for a short-term connection.
