Boy In Space Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running ′round the circles 'til we′re out of luck
Keep on driving, wheels are falling off the bus
I just can't wrap my head around it, yeah
Why did I
See you crying while the trains are passing by?
Like you don't remember we were feeling high
Nights like this, I wish there was some nights like this
Sometimes sunshine, go away
Don′t lie, it's all on your face
Baby, I know you′re cut open
When the tears fall, I'm leaving you roses
Sometimes I cry, in the rain
I don′t know why, I'm okay
Baby, I try not to show it
Whеn the tears fall, I′m leaving you rosеs
I can't lie
It hurts to see you hurting while I'm by your side
Ceilings caving in inside your room tonight
You′re not picking up when I′m calling
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's cold tonight
The sky is painted black, and now it′s closing time
Wish that you could see yourself through my eyes
Shaking in your arms, yeah, we're falling, yeah, hey
Nights like this, I wish there was some nights like this, whoo!
Sometimes sunshine, go away
Don′t lie, it's all on your face (it′s all on your face)
Baby, I know you're cut open (baby, I know you're cut open)
When the tears fall, I′m leaving you roses (I′m leaving you roses)
Sometimes I cry, in the rain
I don't know why, I′m okay
Baby, I try not to show it (I try not to show it)
When the tears fall, I'm leaving you roses (roses)
Sunshine, I leave you roses
Baby, I know you′re cut open
When the tears fall, I'm leaving you roses
Sometimes sunshine, go away
Don′t lie, it's all on your face
Baby, I know you're cut open
When the tears fall, I′m leaving you roses
The lyrics of Boy In Space's song "Roses" depict a familiar feeling of helplessness when someone you care about is going through a tough time. The singer, who seems to be in a relationship with the person in question, can't seem to understand why they're hurting and seems to be at a loss as to how to fix things. The line "Running 'round the circles til we're out of luck" captures the sense of futility that comes with trying to help someone who can't seem to be helped. The singer also seems to be struggling with his own emotions, as evidenced by the line "sometimes I cry in the rain, I don't know why, I'm okay." Throughout the song, there is a sense of wanting to stay by the person's side and help them, but also a sense of hopelessness and an awareness that sometimes it's not possible to make things better.

Running ′round the circles 'til we′re out of luck
Keep on driving, wheels are falling off the bus
I just can't wrap my head around it, yeah
In life, we all get caught up in a cycle of never-ending struggles and challenges, until we run out of luck. Despite this, we try to keep going, even when it feels like everything is falling apart, and we can't fully comprehend the situation.
Why did I
See you crying while the trains are passing by?
Like you don't remember we were feeling high
Shaking in my arms, yeah, we′re falling, hey, hey
I am wondering why I saw you crying when the trains were passing by, like you forgot the good times when we were feeling happy and carefree. I remember holding you, feeling scared and falling, but still completely in love with you.
Nights like this, I wish there was some nights like this
On nights like this, when everything feels overwhelming and difficult, I wish there were more nights like this--nights where we could just be happy and carefree without any worries.
Sometimes sunshine, go away
Don′t lie, it's all on your face
Baby, I know you′re cut open
When the tears fall, I'm leaving you roses
Sometimes, when everything feels too much, the sunshine disappears and it's hard to pretend everything is okay. I can see that you're hurting, and I know that you're hurting deeply. When you cry, I want you to know that I'm there for you, and I'm leaving you roses to show you that you're not alone.
Sometimes I cry, in the rain
I don′t know why, I'm okay
Baby, I try not to show it
Whеn the tears fall, I′m leaving you rosеs
Sometimes, I find myself crying in the rain, even though I don't know why. I try to hide these feelings from you, but when I can't anymore, know that I'm still here for you, and I'm leaving you roses to show you that we can get through anything together.
I can't lie
It hurts to see you hurting while I'm by your side
Ceilings caving in inside your room tonight
You′re not picking up when I′m calling
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I can't deny that it hurts me to see you suffer while I'm right here by your side. It feels like the world's closing in around us and everything is falling apart. I keep calling you, but you're not answering, and it's making me feel even more helpless.
It's cold tonight
The sky is painted black, and now it′s closing time
Wish that you could see yourself through my eyes
Shaking in your arms, yeah, we're falling, yeah, hey
Tonight feels especially cold, and it seems like everything is coming to an end. I wish you could see how much I love and care for you, and how much I would do to make things better. Even in our darkest moments, though, we're holding onto each other, and even if we're falling, we're doing it together.
Sunshine, I leave you roses
Baby, I know you′re cut open
When the tears fall, I'm leaving you roses
Even during the brightest days, I'm leaving you roses to remind you that even when things feel too difficult and overwhelming, I'm here for you. I can see that you're hurt and upset, and when you cry, I want you to know that I'll always be there to support you.
