Constantine
Jay Miners Lyrics

Oh it's different now than I remember
The current situation is unlike what the singer remembers from the past.

From all the colors of September
The singer recalls memories from September, which were colorful and vibrant.

We'd fall into that same honest day
The singer fondly remembers days where they could be honest with each other.

Lately I bite more than I can swallow
The artist is taking on more than they can handle recently.

And I've sealed these senses in a bottle
The artist has suppressed their emotions and feelings inside them.

Then I wish I could go back that way
The singer yearns to relive happier times from the past.

Hang on, darling
The singer is addressing their significant other affectionately.

These memories, like mending a broken room
The memories they share are like trying to fix a broken situation or relationship.

In our hands, but still out of touch
The memories are within reach, yet the situation is still unresolved.

I think I've forgotten how to dream
The artist has lost the ability to dream or imagine a better future without their significant other.

Without you a part of me
The singer feels incomplete without their significant other by their side.

My sweet Constantine
The artist is referring to their significant other by name.

It ain't a secret anymore
Whatever the singer is referring to is no longer a secret or hidden from others.

Since you walked through those doors
The change in the situation occurred after their significant other left the room or the singer's life.

You know I struggle with being myself
The singer has trouble being authentic and true to themselves.

But maybe this is all that matters
Despite their struggles, what they have with their significant other is still important and meaningful.

All the spots and slips and splatters
There have been mistakes and imperfections in their relationship, but they still value it.

From you to me to somebody else
What they have shared with their significant other has impacted others as well.

These memories, like painting an empty room
The memories feel incomplete or lacking, like trying to paint an empty room.

Thought I'd forgotten how to dream
The artist previously thought they had lost their ability to dream or hope for a better future.

And I wonder now instead
The artist has shifted their thoughts elsewhere, possibly towards the future or how things could have been different.

How you live inside my head
Their significant other still occupies their thoughts and emotions.

Once a figure, now a shadow on the bed
Their significant other used to be a prominent figure in their life, but now they are just a distant memory.

These memories, oh they fill up an empty room
Despite feeling incomplete, these memories still occupy a significant space in the artist's life.

I haven't forgotten how to dream
Contrary to what they believed earlier, the singer realizes they still have the ability to hope for a better future.

Without you a part of me
However, the singer acknowledges that they still feel incomplete without their significant other by their side.

My sweet Constantine
The singer affirms their love for their significant other one final time.
