Details of My World
Letting Up Despite Great Faults Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You would come down if I stopped asking you for more
You're destroying all my words, look at me now
You're pulling slow, don't you realize that hurts more?
It's okay to lose control, would you come down just for me?
You're miles away from who I knew
I can't reach even when you're in the room
You turn all the time, one more time
I won't try to erase you, you're in every last detail
But would you just come down?
Maybe it's time
The lyrics to Letting Up Despite Great Faults' song "Details of My World" speak to the pain and frustration of a relationship that has lost its spark.

Line by Line Meaning
You say this all the time
You repeat the same thing over and over again
You would come down if I stopped asking you for more
You would be willing to lower your guard if I stopped pushing you
You're destroying all my words, look at me now
You're making me feel insignificant and powerless, just look at how defeated I am now
You're pulling slow, don't you realize that hurts more?
You're hurting me even more by pulling away slowly instead of just leaving quickly
It's okay to lose control, would you come down just for me?
It's okay to let go and show vulnerability, would you do it for my sake?
You're miles away from who I knew
You've changed so much that you're no longer the same person I knew
I can't reach even when you're in the room
I can't connect with you even when you're physically present
You turn all the time, one more time
You keep changing your mind or your direction
Here we go again
We're repeating the same pattern, the same cycle
I won't try to erase you, you're in every last detail
I won't try to forget you completely, you're still a part of me in every way
But would you just come down?
But can't you just let your guard down and be vulnerable with me?
Maybe it's time
Perhaps it's time to move on or try something new

Lyrics: Details Of My World
Letting Up Despite Great Faults

You say this all the time
You would come down, you would come down if I stopped asking you for more
You're destroying all my words
Look at me now
You're pulling slow
Don't you realize that hurts more?
That hurts more?
It's okay to lose control, it's okay to lose control, would you come down just for me?
You're miles away from who I knew
I can't reach you even when you're in the room
You turn all the time, you turn all the time
One more time: here we go again
I won't try to erase you
You're in every last detail
But would you just come down?
You're pulling slow
Don't you realize that hurts more?
That hurts more?
Maybe it's time x4
ahhh x2
