Moving On
Groundfold Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are we better off alone
Or am I wrong?
I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for moving on

For moving on

Holding on to you
In the eye of the storm
Then the waves throw us overboard
Holding on to you
When we sink to the ground
Now it's time to shake off doubts
Before we drown Writing songs and letters Taking desperate measures
We're not strong but shattered on the floor
Maybe change for the better

Or get lost in the desert
We're not strong together anymore

Can't you see what we've become
Or am i wrong?
I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for all I've done
Are we better off alone
Or am I wrong?
I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for moving on
Can't you see what we've become
Or am i wrong?
I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for all I've done
Are we better off alone
Or am i wrong?
I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for moving on
Can't you see what we've become
Or am I wrong?
I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for all I've done
Are we better off alone

Or am I wrong?
I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for moving on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Groundfold's song Moving On seem to be about a relationship that has come to an end, and the singer is struggling with the decision to move on. The opening lines of the song, "Come closer now / Our time is running out / Another clash / Before we hit the ground," suggest that the relationship is in a state of crisis and that there may be no way to salvage it. The verse then asks the question, "Will we learn from the past / When all that we had turns to dust," implying that the relationship has been crumbling for some time and that the couple may have failed to learn from their mistakes.

The chorus of the song features the repeated refrain, "Can't you see what we've become / Or am I wrong? / I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for all I've done / Are we better off alone / Or am I wrong? / I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for moving on." Here, the singer is expressing regret for their role in the relationship's downfall and questioning whether it would be better to stay together or separate. The second verse introduces the idea of "writing songs and letters" and "taking desperate measures" to save the relationship, but concludes that "We're not strong but shattered on the floor / Maybe change for the better / Or get lost in the desert / We're not strong together anymore," suggesting that the couple has reached a point of no return.

Overall, the lyrics to Moving On seem to be grappling with the difficult emotions that arise when a relationship ends, including regret, uncertainty, and the fear of being alone. The song's refrain, with its repeated question of whether the singer is wrong in their decision to move on, speaks to the complexity of this emotional landscape and the difficulty of making such a decision.

Come closer now
Let's talk about our situation

Our time is running out
We need to resolve this before it's too late

Another clash
Another argument or disagreement

Before we hit the ground
Before our relationship completely falls apart

Will we learn from the past
Can we learn from our mistakes

When all that we had turns to dust
When our relationship falls apart and is gone

Can't you see what we've become
Can't you see how we've changed

Or am I wrong?
Or is it just me

I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for all I've done
I'm apologizing for my actions

Are we better off alone
Would we be better off without each other

For moving on
For ending our relationship

Holding on to you
Trying to keep our relationship alive

In the eye of the storm
During a difficult period in our relationship

Then the waves throw us overboard
Then something happens to cause our relationship to fail

When we sink to the ground
When our relationship completely falls apart

Now it's time to shake off doubts
We need to stop doubting ourselves and each other

Before we drown
Before our relationship is completely ruined

Writing songs and letters
Trying to express our feelings through music and writing

Taking desperate measures
Trying everything we can to save our relationship

We're not strong but shattered on the floor
We're not able to hold ourselves together anymore

Maybe change for the better
Maybe we need to change our ways to improve our relationship

Or get lost in the desert
Or we'll be lost without each other

We're not strong together anymore
We're not able to support each other like we used to

I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for all I've done
I'm apologizing for my role in our relationship failing

Can't you see what we've become
Can't you see how we've changed for the worse

Are we better off alone
Would we be happier without each other

I'm tryna say that I'm sorry for moving on
I'm apologizing for ending our relationship and moving on

Another clash

Before we hit the ground Will we learn from the past
When all that we had turns to dust
Can't you see what we've become
