I Fold You
Elder Island Lyrics

The first line, "We'll take the bridge that I know so well" suggests familiarity and comfort in a certain routine, indicating that the singer has been through this same experience before. The second line, "There's so much sky here you look but don't tell," indicates that perhaps the singer is afraid to express their emotions or what they truly see and feel in the situation, possibly out of fear of rejection or judgment. The third and fourth lines, "And I will seam close your heart break / And I will seem close but far away," suggest that the singer is attempting to mend a broken heart and be there for someone, even if they may emotionally distance themselves in the process.

The next two lines, "We measure distance in the dark / A stone in the hand means a cost," add to the theme of distance and the difficulty of truly understanding someone's emotions and experiences. The metaphor used in "a stone in the hand means a cost" suggests that holding onto something too tightly may come at a price. The repetition of "We measure distance in the dark" emphasizes the challenge of truly knowing someone and their struggles. The final two lines, "A throw with no sound means I've lost," suggests that even the act of trying to connect with someone can be difficult and may not always be successful, ultimately resulting in a feeling of defeat or loss.

Overall, "I Fold You in 2" explores themes of distance, emotional walls, and the difficulty of connecting with others. The lyrics suggest that while trying to be there for someone and bridge the gap, sometimes we may not succeed and may feel lost in the process.
