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”
One more long and lonely night, left here on my own
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
I lost my baby in the fight, I don't know where you've gone
Do you wanna make we wanna cry?
So I lie alone and I wonder where you've gone
And I dream you're mine wide awake
Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high?
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail, I'll never die?
Don't you wanna set me free, we'll override the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away
The devil was an angel once beautiful like you
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
I don't care how far you fall, I'll catch you when you do
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
So I close my eyes try to hold my head up high
And I pray my soul not to break
Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high?
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail, I'll never die?
Don't you wanna set me free, we'll override the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away
Do you really want to say goodbye?
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high?
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail no matter why?
Don't you wanna set me free, we'll override the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away from me
Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high?
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail, I'll never die?
Don't you wanna set me free, we'll override the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away
Do you really want to say goodbye?
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
I lost my baby in the fight, I don't know where you've gone
Do you wanna make we wanna cry?
So I lie alone and I wonder where you've gone
And I dream you're mine wide awake
Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high?
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail, I'll never die?
Don't you wanna set me free, we'll override the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away
The devil was an angel once beautiful like you
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
I don't care how far you fall, I'll catch you when you do
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
So I close my eyes try to hold my head up high
And I pray my soul not to break
Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high?
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail, I'll never die?
Don't you wanna set me free, we'll override the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away
Do you really want to say goodbye?
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high?
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail no matter why?
Don't you wanna set me free, we'll override the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away from me
Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high?
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail, I'll never die?
Don't you wanna set me free, we'll override the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away
Do you really want to say goodbye?
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?
Do you wanna make me wanna cry?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
