Where Are You?
Break Lyrics

Save the right words until Autumn
Keep the meaningful words and expressions for a later time, specifically during the season of Autumn, so that they carry a deeper impact and can be understood even from a distance.

So you can say them from miles away
In this context, it implies a longing to communicate with someone even when physically apart, where the words spoken hold enough meaning to be felt and understood from a long distance.

It's a shame we can't ever be open
Expressing regret that complete openness and vulnerability in the relationship is unattainable for some reason, creating a sense of missed opportunities.

But I'm ready still
Despite the limitations and setbacks, the artist remains prepared and willing to face the challenges and take a leap of faith.

I can feel the thrill
There is a palpable sense of excitement and exhilaration, indicating that even with the uncertainties, the artist embraces the excitement and unknown possibilities.

I never wanted to make sense
The singer never had the intention or desire to conform to conventional expectations or logic, preferring a more spontaneous and unstructured approach to life and relationships.

I always thought I'd be somewhere on the road
The singer had a persistent belief that their life's journey would primarily be spent traveling or exploring different places rather than settling down in one location.

Used my songs like a defense
Music became a protective mechanism and a coping mechanism for the artist, using songs as a shield against emotional vulnerability and a way to navigate through life's challenges and disappointments.

They never led me anywhere but home
Despite the initial intentions of using music as an escape or defense mechanism, it always ultimately brought the artist back to their sense of home and personal truth.

I was a hopeless romantic
The artist had a tendency to be idealistic and deeply passionate in their approach to love and relationships, often getting swept away by grand gestures and intense emotions.

I had my eye on the prize so many times
The singer frequently had high aspirations and set their sights on achieving significant goals or capturing elusive opportunities, only to be disappointed or fall short.

Used my heart like a defense
Similar to using songs as a defense, the artist relied on their emotional vulnerability and deep connections with others as a way to navigate and protect themselves in various situations.

It always led me everywhere but home
Despite the initial belief that emotional openness and vulnerability would guide the singer towards a sense of home, it actually took them on unexpected journeys and detours away from their personal roots.

But I'll still spill my guts for you
The singer is willing to fully expose their innermost thoughts, feelings, and vulnerabilities for the sake of the person they are addressing, showing a deep level of emotional commitment and investment.

Where we are now is somewhere new
Acknowledging that the current state of the relationship or situation is a different and unfamiliar territory, suggesting change and growth.

I was too young to focus
In the past, the artist lacked the maturity and clarity to concentrate on what truly mattered, potentially missing out on important experiences or connections.

Too savor every moment
The artist didn't fully appreciate or relish in the beauty and significance of each fleeting moment, resulting in a missed opportunity for genuine enjoyment and gratitude.

I lost all forward motion
The singer lost their sense of progress and momentum, potentially due to past mistakes or distractions, leaving them feeling stagnant and stationary in relation to their goals.

Now I'm standing still while you're leaving
In the present moment, the singer finds themselves idling and not moving forward, while the person they are addressing is departing or moving away, leaving a sense of regret and missed connection.

I wanted your devotion
Expressing a desire for the unwavering loyalty, commitment, and dedication of the person being addressed, seeking a deep emotional bond and connection.

Some kind of secret potion
The artist yearned for a special, almost magical recipe or solution that could create the desired emotional connection or intensity they sought in their relationship.

Hellbent on backward motion
Driven by an intense determination or obsession to regress or move in the opposite direction, potentially indicating a self-destructive or misguided pursuit of a specific outcome or emotional state.

Now I'm standing still while you're leaving
Once again, highlighting the contrast in situations where the singer remains static and unchanged while the person they address is departing, reinforcing a sense of regret and unfulfilled desires.
