Lyrics
Say that it's over
Suggesting that the relationship is ending
If that's what we need to say
Expressing a willingness to acknowledge the end if necessary
In our one bed apartment
Describing a shared living space, possibly reflecting on shared memories
The street passes through the shade
Symbolizing a transitional phase, with the street representing life's journey
Where we gave it up
Recalling a moment of surrender or giving up in the relationship
I watched from the hallway on some afternoon
Observing a scene from the past, possibly a memory of a significant event
The ghost of us packing up our living room
Reflecting on the dissolution of the relationship, packing up shared belongings
You spoke to me softly, said something we knew
Recalling a tender moment of communication during the separation
The light changed its hue
Noting a change in atmosphere or mood, possibly signaling an impending end
It's leaving us soon
Anticipating the departure of something significant in their lives
Another sort of lantern for you
Suggesting the provision of a different kind of emotional support
One that only measures to you
Emphasizing a personalized, individual form of comfort or guidance
Put your head on my shoulder
Inviting intimacy and connection during a difficult time
And dance by the kitchen sink
Recalling shared moments of joy, like dancing in the kitchen
Where I may not have told you
Admitting a failure to express a specific sentiment, perhaps love
In the blue of the TV screen
Describing a moment in front of the TV, possibly a moment of realization
That you gave me love
Acknowledging the presence and impact of love in the relationship
Is this what you needed to know it was true?
Questioning if a certain realization is what the partner needed to confirm their feelings
Some kind of reminder of something we knew
Reflecting on the need for reminders of shared experiences and emotions
The light changed its hue
Noting a change in atmosphere or mood again, perhaps emphasizing the end
It's leaving us soon
Reiterating the imminent departure of something significant in their lives
Another sort of lantern for you
Suggesting a different form of emotional support is still available
The kind that really measures to you
Describing a personalized and meaningful form of comfort
