Lyrics
Waiting for a letter, giving me a reason why
Anticipation for a letter, seeking an explanation
Think I know ya better never been the first to write
Believes to understand the person but never initiates communication
I could make it easy for ya , shake the olive tree and hold it
Willing to make things easy, using metaphor of shaking an olive tree
Out so we can move on , put it all behind
Wants to move forward and leave the past behind
I built a house and the walls were 100 feet tall
Constructed emotional barriers, isolating oneself
Locked all the windows and doors, and I cant hear a sound
Intense isolation, metaphorically represented by a soundproof house
Maybe I could still pretend like its all the same
Pretending that everything is normal despite emotional turmoil
Like I never fall apart when I hear your name
Trying to hide the pain when reminded of the person
No I don't deserve it
Expressing a sense of not being worthy
Maybe trying is a thousand letters long
Attempting repeatedly, possibly to communicate or reconcile
When your words dry up in a fading sun
When communication breaks down, especially in difficult times
Hope that it was worth it
Expressing hope that the effort was meaningful or valuable
Tell me all your stories, I don't have to sleep tonight
Inviting the person to share stories, indicating a desire for connection
Know that I believe em, still a little girl inside
Expressing belief in the person's stories, holding on to innocence
You could make it easy for me, tell me that you never think
Encouraging the person to make reconciliation easier
About the smell of jasmine, all we had was time
Recalling a shared experience, emphasizing the value of time
You built a house and the walls were 100 feet tall
Metaphorically describing the person's emotional barriers
Knocked on the windows and doors, but youre too damn proud
Despite attempts to reconnect, the person remains proud and distant
Maybe I could still pretend like its all the same
Continuing to pretend that everything is unchanged
Like I never fall apart when I hear your name
Struggling not to fall apart when reminded of the person
No I dont deserve it
Reiterating a feeling of not deserving a certain outcome
Maybe sorry is a thousand letters long
Suggesting that an apology might not be enough, emphasizing the depth of regret
When your words dry up in a fading sun
Highlighting the impact of silence or lack of communication in difficult times
Hope that it was worth it
Reiterating the desire for the effort to be meaningful or worthwhile
