I'm losing sight, don't count on me.
I chase the sun, it chases me.
You know my name.
You know my face.
You'd know my heart.
If you knew my place.
I'll walk straight down.
As far as I can go.
(Chorus)
I follow you.
You follow me.
I don't know why you lie so clean.
I break right through the irony.
Enlighten me.
Reveal my fate.
Just cut these strings that hold me safe.
You know my head.
You know my pains.
You'd know my heart.
If you knew your place.
I'll walk straight down.
As far as I can go.
Chorus(2X)
I chase the sun, it chases me.
You know my name.
You know my face.
You'd know my heart.
If you knew my place.
I'll walk straight down.
As far as I can go.
(Chorus)
I follow you.
You follow me.
I don't know why you lie so clean.
I break right through the irony.
Enlighten me.
Reveal my fate.
Just cut these strings that hold me safe.
You know my head.
You know my pains.
You'd know my heart.
If you knew your place.
I'll walk straight down.
As far as I can go.

I'm losing sight, don't count on me. (losing focus because of self doubt- am I really the soul mate destined to make his life amazing?
I chase the sun, it chases me. (I chase him and he chases me- he's the light in my dark- the day to day game we play)
You know my name. (didn't expect him to care about my name, but he knows it)
You know my face. (he reads "reactions" as he has admitted- i.e. he reads people, studies them,like I do)
You'd know my heart. (he could...)
If you knew my place. (if he realized the feeling I have for the soulmate presence- I believe anyways)
I'll walk straight down. (with confidence....)
As far as I can go. ( I will keep going because of the faith I have that we're meant to be )
(Chorus)
I follow you. ( I'm still there....and won't leave because I know the hidden secret- faith based )
You follow me. ( I pay attention to his cues....)
I don't know why you lie so clean. ( he's intuitive, I know he sees/feels it but continues friendship basis- faith based)
I break right through the irony. ( I see the soul mate aspect clearly, we remain friends based for comfort and protection from what he's fearful of, he chases chicks around me for sport, I allow and promote it to retain my comfort and protection and to study his reactions....he lets out the bad boy and comes back to what's trustworthy and protective....me)
Enlighten me. (He noticed "I look down whenever I talk about him" (ex-fiance)He notices the fact he makes me laugh and smile and pulls me out of my head of chaos...and I pay attention to EVERYTHING he says- not in stalker freak way, I'm literally intrigued and enlightened.
Reveal my fate. (the 'love' reveal happened awhile ago, I fear he thinks I no longer feel that way because I have become soooo good at the friendship mask- I want him to reveal my passion and love for him)
Just cut these strings that hold me safe.(my mask...I'm ready to reveal but still hold the mask for protection of being humiliated from allowing my feelings for him out- the fear still exists from the "clingy" situation
You know my head. (he knows what others never have or can see...I'm good at the mask thing.)
You know my pains. (he's my best friend....he is the only one who knows truly what goes on in my life. I respect our connection and treat it with the highest honor of knowing me inside out- accept for the love part :/
You'd know my heart. (he could find out....)
If you knew your place. (if he knew his place- yeah literally)
I'll walk straight down.(with confidence....)
As far as I can go. ( I will keep going because of the faith I have that we're meant to be )
Chorus(2X)
As you can see I am hopelessly devoted to him. Almost like a marriage without the option of divorce. He is the one...I can feel it....like love...I feel and know it exists....but I can't get through. I don't know why. I fear its because he doesn't believe or have the faith I do for 'us'. I am caught in the middle of this warfare of love currently. We'll be moving in together soon with another roomie who can help strengthen my friendship mask, but I venture forth without fear to further study and learn about this "feeling" of soulmate is about. I never believed in it before....until I found him. Day 1 I knew he was the one...honestly...he doesn't open up to just anybody as I have learned...the first night we met my sister was throwing herself at him (she has done this to boyfriends of mine, they always met the same fate...dumped for their action....but he didn't fall for it....and he stayed up talking to me til 5am....there's something there....if anyone can tell me if I'm crazy for feeling this way....please tell me lol
"Just cut these strings that hold me safe" seems to be saying that the speaker wants the person holding onto them to let them go out into the world, away from the safety of home.
"You know my head
You know my gaze
You'd know my heart if you knew your place" seems to be saying that the person holding onto the speaker has a position of authority over the speaker would they understand the speaker's point of view better if they looked at it from a different perspective.
All in all, I'm looking at this from a kid trying to leave home. It's like their parents don't look at them like the adult they are and are still trying to dictate their life for them. The kid wants to seek independence but their parents are holding them back. The kid in return fights for their independence even harder because of this. There's my two cents worth. ^.^
"I'm losing sight, don't count on me.
I chase the sun, it chases me.
You know my name.
You know my face.
You'd know my heart.
If you knew my place.
I'll walk straight down.
As far as I can go."
The last two lines indicate a willingness to find their independence on their own when they're being held back. The chorus shows how the person is either following the person they're trying to gain independence from or being held back by them. The irony of the relationship is how even when the person speaking is trying to gain independence they're being held back.
They never have yet
"I don't know why you lie so clean"
is about?
I saw the lyric and it's just stuck in my head - i don't know why
I'm losing sight, don't count on me.
I chase the sun, it chases me.
The first 2 lines mean
That the 2 rivals are willing to doing anything to be better then there rival and they are both following each other as well and they “chase” each other in the race to be the better person/fighter/ect.
You know my name.
You know my face.
You'd know my heart.
If you knew my place.
I'll walk straight down.
As far as I can go.
This line tells us that both of the rivals know each other and are both willing to go as far as they can even if it cost them their lives/friends/ect.
Enlighten me.
Reveal my fate.
Just cut these strings that hold me safe.
This tell us that they talk to each other by “enlighten them” and “revealing there fate” so they can get even more motivated in being better than there rival.
You know my head.
You know my pains.
You'd know my heart.
If you knew your place.
I'll walk straight down.
As far as I can go.
The lines tell that they are at their limits but they know that there rival won’t give up knowing there head, pain and where their heart is leading them. So they continue pushing as far as they can go.
Cure this wait
I hate this wait
This is no there but this is a key point in the song as it tells they try as they wait for the day when they show that they are better than there rival. And same with anyone they hate that wait.
I follow you.
You follow me.
I don't know why you lie so clean.
I break right through the irony.
As the song goes on they follow each other to learn how they can improve themselves and they lie about how they are grater then each other knowing they are lying or are they not.
