Empty Houses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, it was always hard to do
But I would like to think
You didn't want to leave
It wasn't only me
I'm feeling we should spend some time
Making sure that we don't fall behind
We could've been someone else
I had this comfort
The love inside
It was a good place for me to hide
I'm hoping for a little on the ride
And I cried all night thinking about it
I'm trying to convince myself
That I'm alright living without it
Woah, oh, oh
Every night I drive
Thinking of what was left to die
The dancing fireflies
Took me to the road
You didn't have to go
It seemed like time was slowing down
Suddenly the sun began to drown
An empty hollow sound
Echoed on the lake
I'm feeling far away
I had this comfort
The love inside
That was a good place for me to hide
But lately I'm going out of my mind
Cause maybe it wasn't all of the time
Woah, oh, oh
And I cried all night thinking about it
I'm trying to convince myself
That I'm alright living without it
Oh, every night
There was something beyond both of us
That might've rigged the game (might've rigged the game)
But I remember you the same
And I cried all night thinking about it
Been trying to convince myself
That I'm alright living without it
Oh, all the time
And I cried all night thinking about it
I know you wanna let go
Now I'm alright living without it
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh
The song “Daydream” by Empty Houses is a reflection on a past relationship that didn't work out. The singer is struggling to move on because they are holding onto the memories and the love they felt for their ex-partner. The chorus highlights this struggle – even though the singer knows they should move on, they can't help but cry and think about their former partner every night.
The verses explore the reasons why the relationship didn't work out. The singer believes that both partners were responsible for the breakup and that they buried themselves in their problems instead of working together to overcome them. Additionally, the singer believes that there was something beyond their control – fate, perhaps – that influenced the relationship's outcome. However, despite the challenges, the singer remembers their ex-partner fondly and hopes that they can ride through their emotions together.
Overall, “Daydream” is a relatable song for anyone who has experienced a difficult breakup. The lyrics capture the pain of wanting to hold on to a relationship that is no longer working while trying to convince oneself that it's better to let go.

Holding onto you
I tried to keep us together
Baby, it was always hard to do
But it was difficult to maintain our relationship
But I would like to think
However, I hope that you never wished to leave
You didn't want to leave
I don't believe it was solely my fault
It wasn't only me
I'm feeling we should spend some time
Perhaps we should work on our relationship
Making sure that we don't fall behind
To avoid being left behind by others and in regrets in future
We're burying ourselves
Our relationship is slowly declining
We could've been someone else
Maybe we could have been better together
I had this comfort
Previously, my feelings were secured
The love inside
It was a good place for me to hide
It was an escape for me
I'm hoping for a little on the ride
But I wish for much more to come
And I cried all night thinking about it
I have been crying the whole night pondering over it
I'm trying to convince myself
But I attempt to persuade myself
That I'm alright living without it
I am telling myself that I'm okay without you being here
Every night I drive
During every night, I go on drives
Thinking of what was left to die
I ponder over our lost relationship
The dancing fireflies
As the fireflies move rhythmically
Took me to the road
The view from the road when the fireflies led me is surreal
You didn't have to go
It was not necessary for you to leave
It seemed like time was slowing down
Time started to go a lot more slowly after you left
Suddenly the sun began to drown
As the sun started to set on the lake, I felt quite low
An empty hollow sound
You can hear the emptiness in the surroundings
Echoed on the lake
As an echo can be heard from the lake
I'm feeling far away
I'm feeling distant
But lately I'm going out of my mind
Recently, I have started to lose my sanity
Cause maybe it wasn't all of the time
Perhaps it wasn't just me
There was something beyond both of us
Maybe there were factors beyond our control
That might've rigged the game (might've rigged the game)
The situation may not have favoured us
But I remember you the same
However, I still remember you fondly
Been trying to convince myself
I've continued attempting to persuade myself
I know you wanna let go
I know you want to move on
Now I'm alright living without it
Now I feel I am alright without you
Woah, oh, oh

Good song I hate the emotions that it caused to resurface.

The melody sounds very 70's-ish like it belongs to The Mary Tyler Moore show or something!!!
