Stones
I AM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lost
But you're too far to heed my call
I still see you when I sleep
But oh that's all
My thoughts
Cast a shadow on the wall
In the shape of how you held me
Back when I was small

I'll cry for the years you'll miss
And the fears you left me with

Where are you now
Were you more than just your flesh and bones
Or are you sinking like a stone
Where are you now
Were you more than just a heartbeat's home
Or are you sinking like a stone

I count
All the days that turn to past
But none will outweigh the last day we never had
Even the sound of your shout would be a gift
Is it true that somehow you cease to exist

I know you're sorry for what you did
But more for the things you didn't

Where are you now
Were you more than just your flesh and bones
Or are you sinking like a stone
Where are you now
Were you more than just a heartbeat's home
Or are you sinking like a stone

Where are you now
Were you more than just your flesh and bones
Or are you sinking like a stone
Where are you now
Were you more than just a heartbeat's home
Or are you sinking like a stone

Where are you now
Were you more than just your flesh and bones
Or are you sinking like a stone
Where are you now
Were you more than just a heartbeat's home




Or are you sinking
Like a stone

Line by Line Meaning

I'm lost
I feel completely disoriented and uncertain


But you're too far to heed my call
You are distant and unavailable, ignoring my pleas for help


I still see you when I sleep
In my dreams, I can still envision your presence


But oh that's all
However, that is the extent of our connection now


My thoughts
My mind is consumed by


Cast a shadow on the wall
Creating a dark imprint on my surroundings


In the shape of how you held me
Resembling the way you used to embrace me


Back when I was small
During my younger and more vulnerable days


I'll cry for the years you'll miss
I will shed tears for the moments you will never experience


And the fears you left me with
As well as the anxieties that you instilled in me


Where are you now
Where are you currently located


Were you more than just your flesh and bones
Were you a person with depth and emotions beyond your physical existence


Or are you sinking like a stone
Or are you spiraling into a state of despair and hopelessness


I count
I tally up


All the days that turn to past
Every day that fades into history


But none will outweigh the last day we never had
But nothing will be as significant as the day we were unable to share


Even the sound of your shout would be a gift
Even the mere sound of your voice expressing any emotion would be cherished


Is it true that somehow you cease to exist
Is it possible that you have disappeared from existence in some way


I know you're sorry for what you did
I am aware that you feel remorse for your actions


But more for the things you didn't
But you feel an even greater regret for the things you failed to do


Where are you now
Where are you currently located


Were you more than just your flesh and bones
Were you a person with depth and emotions beyond your physical existence


Or are you sinking like a stone
Or are you spiraling into a state of despair and hopelessness


Where are you now
Where are you currently located


Were you more than just a heartbeat's home
Were you someone who provided comfort and security in my life


Or are you sinking like a stone
Or are you spiraling into a state of despair and hopelessness


Where are you now
Where are you currently located


Were you more than just your flesh and bones
Were you a person with depth and emotions beyond your physical existence


Or are you sinking like a stone
Or are you spiraling into a state of despair and hopelessness


Where are you now
Where are you currently located


Were you more than just a heartbeat's home
Were you someone who provided comfort and security in my life


Or are you sinking like a stone
Or are you spiraling into a state of despair and hopelessness
