Lyrics

Everybody's outside

Observing that everyone is outside.

A sunny day like a dream

Describing a sunny day with dream-like qualities.

But I'm not looking at the sky

Indicating a lack of interest in the sky, focusing on the bedroom ceiling instead.

Just my bedroom ceiling

Emphasizing a personal, introspective space within the bedroom.


And lately I've been sacrificing

Expressing the act of giving up or letting go of things unknowingly possessed.

Things I never knew I had

Acknowledging the sacrifice of possessions.

And I've not been to paradise

Stating not having experienced paradise or ultimate happiness.

But I'm trying harder than I've ever had

Emphasizing increased effort and determination.


So I just ask myself

Posing a self-reflective question about the worthiness of current efforts.

Will this all be worth it in the end?

Raising doubts about the ultimate value of present actions.

Yeah, I just tell myself

Reaffirming a belief that current struggles will have a meaningful outcome.

This will all be worth it in the end

Repeating the conviction that everything will be worthwhile in the end.

Worth it in the end

Reiterating the expectation of a positive outcome in the end.


Ooh, ooh-ooh

Repeating vocalizations expressing emotion or uncertainty.

Ooh, ooh-ooh

-

There's a plane taking off

Introducing a metaphor of a plane taking off, symbolizing progress.

An empty seat just for me, yeah

Highlighting a personal connection to the journey represented by an empty seat.

I gotta finish what I started

Expressing the need to complete or achieve what was started.

And then you'll see what I see

Promising that others will understand the perspective once goals are achieved.


And lately, I've been sacrificing

Repeating the theme of sacrificing and trying harder for an undefined goal.

Things I never knew I had

-

And I've not been to paradise

-

But I'm trying harder than I've ever had

-

So I just ask myself

Repeating the self-reflective question about the worth of current efforts.

Will this all be worth it in the end?

Reaffirming the uncertainty about the ultimate worth of present actions.

Yeah, I just tell myself

Reiterating the belief that current struggles will lead to a meaningful outcome.

This will all be worth it in the end

Repeating the conviction that everything will be worthwhile in the end.

Worth it in the end

Restating the expectation of a positive outcome in the end.


Ooh, ooh-ooh

Repeating vocalizations expressing emotion or uncertainty.

Ooh, ooh-ooh

-

I keep telling myself

Repeatedly telling oneself that the efforts will be worthwhile in the end.

This will be worth it in the end

-

I keep telling myself

-

This will be worth it in the end

-

I just ask myself

Repeating the self-reflective question, affirmation, and expectation of a positive outcome.

Will this all be worth it in the end?

-

Yeah, I just tell myself

-

This will all be worth it in the end

-

Worth it in the end

-

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Repeating vocalizations expressing emotion or uncertainty, and emphasizing the end.

Ooh, ooh-ooh

-

In the end, in the end

-

Ooh, ooh-ooh

-

(This will be worth it in the end)

Repeating the idea that all the struggles will be worthwhile in the end.

I keep on telling myself it'll be alright

Expressing optimism and self-reassurance about the eventual positive outcome.

Ooh, ooh-ooh

Repeating vocalizations expressing emotion or uncertainty.


I keep telling myself

Continued repetition of self-assurance regarding the worthiness of efforts.

This will be worth it in the end
