Lyrics
There’s a shyness, sunk in your eyes
Describing the presence of shyness in the person's eyes.
I should take my own advice, and show kindness
Acknowledging the need to follow one's own advice and show kindness.
I know you care, but you don’t have to stop and stare.
Recognizing the care from the other person but expressing a desire not to be overly scrutinized.
When all that I wanted was you
Expressing a desire for the person despite challenges.
I’m happy it almost came true
Reflecting on happiness that almost materialized.
I soak into somebody new
Moving on to a new connection or experience.
and keep smiling.
Choosing to maintain a positive outlook and keep smiling.
So I just want to thank you, I just want to say
Expressing gratitude and a desire to convey thanks.
That I just can’t forget such imperfect days
Acknowledging the memory of imperfect days that cannot be forgotten.
But I’m not what you wanted, wish I could stay
Realizing that personal qualities may not align with what the other person wanted.
I lost you now I’ll walk a wilder way
Accepting the loss of the person and choosing a more adventurous or unpredictable path.
I’ll walk a wilder way
Reiterating the decision to embark on a wilder journey.
Try patience, spend all my time
Advising oneself to be patient and spending time searching for boundaries or limits.
Searching for your border line
Continuing the exploration of the other person's limits or comfort zones.
A new cadence, I take it slow
Embracing a new rhythm and adopting a more deliberate pace.
Tell myself it’s all for show
Reminding oneself that some actions may be for show or appearance.
And I’d built a future with you
Building a future with the person.
Then watched as the ceiling fell through
Experiencing a setback or disappointment as plans fall apart.
Reality rush into view
Confronting the reality of the situation.
I still wonder.
Still contemplating or questioning the circumstances.
So I just want to thank you, I just want to say
Repeating gratitude and a desire to express thanks.
That I just can’t forget such imperfect days
Reiterating the difficulty of forgetting imperfect days.
But I’m not what you wanted, wish I could stay
Expressing the wish to stay, despite not being what the other person wanted.
I lost you now I’ll walk a wilder way
Accepting the loss and choosing to follow a more unpredictable path.
I’ll walk a wilder way
Affirming the decision to walk a wilder way.
