Harmony
Goodnight Texas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cos we've been building it up so tall, that you can't see the ground anymore.
Yeh, I've been dancing all around the fact, that life is passing by.
But I've been waiting on an exit plan, that wouldn't make you cry.
I wanna take the way it feels to be inside of this love afair.
Put it in a mason jar and take it damn near anywhere.
To remind myself of where we both began.
Oh Harmony, I'm gonna let you down so easily.
I'm gonna break your heart and make you see.
That you wern't meant for me.
And we just cant be together... Anymore.
Yeh, I've looking out my window, down at people on the street side.
Wishing to myself that I could find an upside.
To give some closure to the story we began together.
But I'm not sure this is the kind of storm I want to weather.
I wanna take the way it kills to be inside of this love afair.
Put it in a mason jar and take it damn near anywhere.
Oh and remind myself of where we both began.
And to see myself as an old and lonely man, with you.
Harmony, I'm gonna let you down so easily.
I'm gonna break your heart and make you see.
That you wern't meant for me.
And we just cant be together...
Anymore.
I've been looking at the life we have and wondering what it's for.
Cos we've been building it up so tall, that you can't see the ground anymore.
Yeh, I've been dancing all around the fact, that life is passing by.
But I've been waiting on an exit plan, that wouldn't make you cry.
Oh Harmony, I'm gonna let you down so easily.
I'm gonna break your heart and make you see.
That you wern't meant for me.
And we just cant be together... Anymore.
And we just cant be together...
Anymore.
And we just cant be together...
Anymore.
The song "Harmony" by Goodnight Texas is a poignant piece about the struggle of navigating a failing relationship. The opening lines offer a window into the singer's questioning of the value of the life they have built with their partner. They have been so consumed with building that life up that they have lost touch with the ground underneath them. The singer has been avoiding the reality that life is passing by, and they have been holding out for an exit plan that won't hurt their partner.
The chorus of the song has a mournful quality as the singer acknowledges that they are going to break their partner's heart, telling them that they were never meant to be together. The singer wishes they could take the feelings they had at the start of the relationship and keep them in a jar to remind themselves of where they started, but even that seems out of reach now. The song ends with the same lines repeated twice, serving as a poignant reminder that this relationship has come to an end, and they both need to begin to move on.
Overall, Goodnight Texas's "Harmony" is a powerful musical reflection on what it means to end a relationship, acknowledging that breaking someone's heart is never easy, even if it is necessary. The lyrics, combined with the haunting melody, make this a song that resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of a failed relationship.
