Lyrics
When we
Reflecting on a past experience
First left
Departure or separation
I tried to speak
Attempt to communicate or express feelings
Cause when we’re home
Creating a facade of normalcy at home
We both pretend to sleep
Pretending to be asleep to avoid confrontation
I can’t recall
Memory lapse or difficulty recalling
Colder skies
Emphasis on a cold or distant atmosphere
Driving her back
Driving someone back, possibly metaphorical
Through that night
Narrating events during a night
She’s catching her breath
Someone catching their breath, a moment of tension
She tells me now
Quoting the other person's desire to go home
“We’re quiet, so I wanna go home”
Expressing quietness and a desire to leave
I’m holding my breath to keep her now
Tension and anticipation in holding one's breath
But she has gotta know, I gotta
A recognition that a revelation is necessary
Stop biding time just to say
Decision to stop delaying communication
Don’t bite your lip in restraint
Advice against suppressing emotions
You and my friends
Inclusion of friends in the narrative
A glass of wine
Social setting with a glass of wine
Spilling your heart
Revealing deep emotions
Like I don’t mind
Downplaying emotional impact
I’m holding my breath
Continued tension and breath-holding
To hear you now
Awaiting important words from the other person
Say what you should’ve when we were alone
Expressing a desire for honesty in the past
I’m catching my breath to keep it down
Struggling to contain emotions
I gotta find the words, I gotta
A need to find the right words
Stop biding time just to say
Decision to stop delaying communication (repeated)
Don’t bite your lip in restraint
Reiteration against suppressing emotions (repeated)
You slur your lines just to blame
Noticing speech impediment due to emotional stress
Oh and I know it all just sounds the same
Recognizing the similarity in expressions
All the things that I can replace
Acknowledging replaceability of certain things
Oh and if you want me to change
Openness to change for the sake of the relationship
I’d have given you a go
A missed opportunity or chance
Been waiting up through the days
Waiting patiently for a positive outcome
Follow through when you will
Commitment to follow through when the time comes
I’ve been waking to the sun
Symbolic waking to a new phase or realization
I break into a run
An urgency to take action
I’m telling everyone
Sharing the experience with others
I’ll call it
Intention to define or label the experience
I’ve been waking to the sun
Repetition of waking to the sun and breaking into a run
I break into a run
(repeated)
I’m telling everyone
Asserting the importance of sharing the experience
I’ll call it now
Decision to define or label the experience now
You got you got you got me now
A realization of being captured or influenced
You got you got you got me now
(repeated)
