Comfort
David Mead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're talking trash again like long sedated lovers
Baby what's become of us
A latent memory of Southern springs and summers
Maybe winter in New York

It's started raining now on all my best intentions
I'm putting on my heavy coat
I'll take an airplane and leave the worst unmentioned
Blame it on a lack of time

When I was given to easy answers
I swept you off your feet
But now the dancing days are gone
You sleep alone, leave the radio on

I'm high above it now, the clouds a pillow for me
I consider even more
You have the softest eyes, the ways to wash and comfort
All the kids on Jersey shore

And I believe in easy answers
Coming home for Christmas
Minding manners all along
I sleep alone, leave the radio on

Yes I believe in easy answers
Something permanent
But only chances make a song




We sleep alone, leave the radio on
We sleep alone, leave the radio on

Line by Line Meaning

We're talking trash again like long sedated lovers
We are bickering again like a couple that has been numbed by their own fights


Baby what's become of us
I am asking you what has happened to our relationship


A latent memory of Southern springs and summers Maybe winter in New York
I remember the warm seasons of our past, but now we are facing the coldness of our present


It's started raining now on all my best intentions
My well-intentioned plans for fixing things are now being thwarted by unforeseen obstacles


I'm putting on my heavy coat I'll take an airplane and leave the worst unmentioned Blame it on a lack of time
I am avoiding the tough conversations and running away from the problems, using the excuse of not having enough time


When I was given to easy answers I swept you off your feet But now the dancing days are gone You sleep alone, leave the radio on
In the past, I was able to easily charm you with smooth words, but now we are distant and disconnected


I'm high above it now, the clouds a pillow for me I consider even more You have the softest eyes, the ways to wash and comfort All the kids on Jersey shore
As I fly away, I am thinking about you and your caring nature that comforts everyone around you, even strangers


And I believe in easy answers Coming home for Christmas Minding manners all along I sleep alone, leave the radio on
Despite the difficulties we are currently facing, I still hold onto the hope of a simple solution and a happy future, but for now, I am alone and listening to the radio


Yes I believe in easy answers Something permanent But only chances make a song We sleep alone, leave the radio on We sleep alone, leave the radio on
I still cling to the idea of a forever love found through simple solutions, but acknowledge that true love songs come from taking chances, and regardless of these thoughts, we are still sleeping alone with the radio on
