Lyrics
Wend your way through me
Expressing a path through the speaker.
With a call from my father
Receiving a call from the speaker's father.
And the fear you leave
Describing the impact of departing, leaving behind fear.
Set me wandering
Resulting in aimless wandering.
In the blush of the morning
Within the early stages of the day.
With a weight to keep
Carrying a burden, a metaphorical weight.
Some thought of longing, waiting for the sun
Reflecting on thoughts of yearning, anticipating sunlight.
You can keep and shelter
The possibility of protection and refuge.
If I could have known
Regretting lack of foresight.
Would I bend?
Contemplating whether the speaker would change or compromise.
To get you back from the side of my head, and
Desiring to reclaim someone from the speaker's thoughts.
I never thought to wonder if
The speaker never considered questioning.
I'd thank god for all of this fiction
Expressing gratitude to a higher power for the imaginative world.
Thank god you said whatever's on your mind
Thankful for the honesty and openness in communication.
Were you more to me
Questioning the significance of the person compared to nature (lake, harbor, trees).
Than the lake, and the harbor
Pondering if the person is more than natural elements.
And the tallest trees?
Referencing the lake, harbor, and tallest trees as symbols.
The thought we wouldn’t speak
Anticipating a silence or lack of communication.
Spools on the table
Objects on a table representing entanglements.
And slips beneath
Slipping beneath, signifying hidden or unresolved issues.
Some thought of longing, waiting for the sun
Similar to line 7, longing and waiting for sunlight.
You can keep and shelter
Reiterating the possibility of protection and refuge.
If I could have known
Repeating the theme of regret for not knowing.
Would I bend?
Reflecting on the potential for change or adaptation.
To get you back from the side of my head, and
Desiring to retrieve someone from the speaker's thoughts.
I never thought to wonder if
The speaker never considered questioning.
I'd thank god that this is my fiction
Gratitude for the speaker's own imaginative world.
And thank god you said whatever's on your mind
Appreciation for the honesty and openness in communication.
Thank god you said whatever’s on your mind
Repeated gratitude for the person's honesty.
The Lake bowed down
A symbolic act of nature bowing down, possibly signifying submission or acknowledgment.
