Acres Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that we're in trouble here
And that people had their doubts
They say that everyone, everywhere deserves someone dear
But I just have no faith in that
So I will bandage your wounds
I'll cover your hurt
Take back what I said
Things you did not deserve
But now three days later
And I've still had no word
No message or warning
Of things you have learned

Days turn to weeks
And I forget your face
I'm sorry my love
I lie here disgraced
So I'll do this for you
I need you to feel it
It will hurt but it will heal
So I hope you believe it
Don't say goodbye
There's just no good to it
This space in my chest
Desperate to fill it
And the feeling of sinking goes on
It goes on
Until I reach your shore

There is nowhere I'd rather belong

As we sat there on the bench at night
We talked about our lives under street light
You sat there you smiled
No we'll never, we'll never grow old
But the past is the past and I learned from the last
Time that we were close I'm now on my own
And you'll sit there, you'll smile

And think about the time that I called you mine
You were mine

Well it seems there is nothing I can do
No there is nothing I can do
Reaching out to touch it

So desperate just to clutch it
My knuckles turn to white
And my blood begins to drip to the floor

So where is your compassion dear?
Do you have to hide it away?
Is there something you have trapped deep inside?
Like a bird in a cage
Desperate for you to set free
Now I'm starting to wonder here
Darling, if your heart is so small
(There's no relief)
That if we kept on going in circles
It would shrink and it would fade




Until there was nothing
No heart at all

Line by Line Meaning

I know that we're in trouble here
I realize that our relationship is in a bad state


And that people had their doubts
People around us had their suspicions about our relationship


They say that everyone, everywhere deserves someone dear
General opinion is that everyone deserves to be with someone special


But I just have no faith in that
But I don't believe in that philosophy


So I will bandage your wounds
I'll do my best to make you feel better


I'll cover your hurt
I'll protect you from emotional pain


Take back what I said
I regret hurting you with my words/actions


Things you did not deserve
You didn't deserve the harsh words or actions from me


But now three days later
However, it has been three days since we last spoke


And I've still had no word
And I haven't heard from you


No message or warning
You haven't given me any explanation for your absence


Of things you have learned
Or anything that you might have learned from our situation


Days turn to weeks
As time passes


And I forget your face
I start forgetting how you look


I'm sorry my love
I feel sorry for our situation


I lie here disgraced
I feel ashamed for my behavior


So I'll do this for you
I want to do something for you


I need you to feel it
I want you to feel my love and care for you


It will hurt but it will heal
The process will be painful but it will get better


So I hope you believe it
I hope that you trust my intentions


Don't say goodbye
Please don't leave me


There's just no good to it
It won't lead us anywhere good


This space in my chest
I feel empty inside


Desperate to fill it
I'm desperate to find a solution


And the feeling of sinking goes on
I keep feeling worse and sinking deeper


It goes on
The feeling continues


Until I reach your shore
Until I find stability in our relationship


There is nowhere I'd rather belong
My heart belongs to you and nowhere else


As we sat there on the bench at night
We shared some beautiful memories under the night sky


We talked about our lives under street light
We opened up to each other under the city's street lights


You sat there you smiled
I remember how happy you looked


No we'll never, we'll never grow old
I thought we'd never lose the charm in our relationship


But the past is the past and I learned from the last
However, things have changed now and I've learned from our past experiences


Time that we were close I'm now on my own
The time we spent together now feels like a distant memory


And you'll sit there, you'll smile
I wonder if you still remember the good times we shared


And think about the time that I called you mine
If you still consider me yours


Well it seems there is nothing I can do
I feel helpless in fixing things between us


Reaching out to touch it
Trying to reach out to you to fix our relationship


So desperate just to clutch it
I'm so desperate to hold on to you


My knuckles turn to white
I'm holding on so tight that my hands hurt


And my blood begins to drip to the floor
And I start bleeding


So where is your compassion dear?
I wonder if you still care about me


Do you have to hide it away?
Or if you're concealing your true feelings


Is there something you have trapped deep inside?
Are you holding a grudge against me?


Like a bird in a cage, Desperate for you to set free
Like a trapped bird, I wish you'd release me from this situation


Now I'm starting to wonder here
I'm beginning to have doubts


Darling, if your heart is so small
If you're devoid of any empathy


(There's no relief)
(Then there's no room for any solution)


That if we kept on going in circles
If we keep repeating the same mistakes


It would shrink and it would fade
Our relationship will keep deteriorating


Until there was nothing
Till there's nothing left between us


No heart at all
And our relationship loses all meaning
