One lifetime later I remain entrapped
Despite commitments my escapes been mapped
Wasted, nodding on the floor
Exist in circle it's time I show myself the door

And when you feel alive
You hang out with the dead
You stay here your whole life
No matter what you say
You ask me everyday
If I still feel the same
And I still feel the same I'm falling

One thousand others living just like this
Packing up hastily for momentary bliss
They promise to themselves that they won't even try to call
Escape this wretched hellhole
Don't worry they'll be back next fall

And when you feel alive
You hang out with the dead
You stay here your whole life
No matter what you say
You ask me everyday
If I still feel the same
And I still feel the same I'm falling

Something intangible has got its grasp around this town
It saps your will leaves you addicted to a helpless down
You'll bitch and moan and never fuck outside established ground
Doomed to play this movie over and over
You're old and getting older

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
