Every little thing I do I do for you
With every little think I thought of you
And I try so had not to notice
I try so hard not to care
I try so hard not to know that you're not here
But I'm countin' down the hours
And I'm countin' up the days
I try so hard not to show this side of me
I'm jealous of they way they walk, the way they talk
I'm jealous of the way they look the way they are

And I try so had not to notice
I try so hard not to care
I try so hard not to know that you're not here
But I'm countin' down the hours
And I'm countin' up the days
I try so hard not to show this side of me

This side of me
This side of me
This side of me
This side of me
This side of me
This side of me
This side of me

    This song always makes me think of The Outsiders.

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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”

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.
