Pinsky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of course, it's easier said - there's no rush.
We don't want you losing touch.
I know you're having trouble holding on.
We're friends, reach out.
Because the state of this relationship is headed south.
You're heading south
You've got to stop harboring thoughts
of a place you'll never reach.
You've got to look up.
We don't want you losing touch.
I know you're having trouble holding on.
We're friends, reach out.
Just reach out.
Because you know you will make it far one day.
If you don't get held up on yourself.
You will make it far one day.
Don't get held up.
Stop losing touch.
Take a step back.
Don't lose contact.
It's sometimes not enough.
I've been there before and lost a lot,
so take what I have to say to heart.
Please use any time you want to shake it off.
If it's distance that you need, don't leave everything.
Things are bad sometimes.
It could be worse, you know.
Take what I have to say to heart.
