So we've put an end to it this time.
I'm no longer yours and you're no longer mine.
You said this hill looks far too steep
If I'm not even sure it's me you want to keep.
And it's been ten days without you in my reach,
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.
But time has changed nothing at all
You're still the only one that feels like home.
I've tried cutting the ropes and
I let you go but you're still the only one
That feels like home.
You won't talk me into it next time,
If I'm going away your hearts coming too.
'Cause I miss your hands I miss your face.
When I get back let's disappear without a trace.
'Cause it's been ten days without you in my reach,
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.
But time has changed nothing at all
You're still the only one that feels like home.
I've tried cutting the ropes,
Tried letting go but you're still the only one
That feels like home.
So tell me, did you really think
Oh tell me, did you really think
I had gone when you couldn't see me anymore?
When you couldn't
'Cause baby time has changed nothing at all
You're still the only one that feels like home.
And I've tried cutting the ropes,
I let you go but you're still the only one
That feels like home, yeah,
You're still the only one that feels like home,
You're still the only one I've gotta love.
Oh yeah
I'm no longer yours and you're no longer mine.
You said this hill looks far too steep
If I'm not even sure it's me you want to keep.
And it's been ten days without you in my reach,
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.
But time has changed nothing at all
You're still the only one that feels like home.
I've tried cutting the ropes and
I let you go but you're still the only one
That feels like home.
You won't talk me into it next time,
If I'm going away your hearts coming too.
'Cause I miss your hands I miss your face.
When I get back let's disappear without a trace.
'Cause it's been ten days without you in my reach,
And the only time I've touched you is in my sleep.
But time has changed nothing at all
You're still the only one that feels like home.
I've tried cutting the ropes,
Tried letting go but you're still the only one
That feels like home.
So tell me, did you really think
Oh tell me, did you really think
I had gone when you couldn't see me anymore?
When you couldn't
'Cause baby time has changed nothing at all
You're still the only one that feels like home.
And I've tried cutting the ropes,
I let you go but you're still the only one
That feels like home, yeah,
You're still the only one that feels like home,
You're still the only one I've gotta love.
Oh yeah

So we've put an end to it this time.
I'm no longer yours and you're no longer mine.
You said this hill looks far too steep
if I'm not even sure it's me you wanna keep.
An apparent breakup, He doesnt think that she wants him anymore, (stagnation, physical separation) or he thinks that the problems between them are too great to overcome, (you said this hill looks far too steep)
But time has changed nothing at all -
you're still the only one that feels like home.
I've tried cutting the ropes and
I let you go but you're still the only one
that feels like home.
The time apart, thus far, she has tried to emotionally detach (cutting the ropes), but whatever comfort, security, familiarity, or home they had made together is what she really misses. Having growin accustom to someone, their mannerisms, idiosyncrasies, she now finds that these 'isms' are haunting her.
You won't talk me into it next time,
if I'm going away your hearts coming too.
'Cos I miss your hands I miss your face.
When I get back let's disappear without a trace.
I would imagine in the relationship that he has been the one trying to salvage it, and find the pieces of it, wherever they may lay, he has been trying to convince her not to gleave him emotionally, (you wont talk me into it next time), but now that she sees that this IS what she wants, and when she gains the courage to return, then she will indefinitely. She will be the one to come back and salvage the relationship this time around.
So tell me, did you really think...
oh tell me, did you really think
I had gone when you couldn't see me anymore?
When you couldn't...
She knows that he has been the one struggling to fix it all along though she broke it off. She is telling him rehtorically, that after the love that they have experienced together, there is no way that it could simply disappear. Even after trying to be firm with her decision, somewhere inside she longs for that familiarity that makes their relationship unique.
I think the rest is repetitive, but the last line. This song was sent to me by my ex today, we have a daughter together, so it means something different to me. Missy says.
you're still the only one I've gotta love.
I'm leaving Australia tomorrow; who knows when I'll be back. I don't want to leave him.
Everything's so crazy and confusing, everyone has expectations but when I talk to him I feel like myself.
Except that it hasn't been ten days without him in my reach - it's more like 10 months...
She's so good, I seem to be able to relate to all her songs right now.
"You said this hill looks far too steep,
if I'm not even sure it's me you wanna keep."
I feel like this deals with the issues of long distance relationships.
