Are You Ready?
Prides Lyrics

Don't you think that maybe you could come around?
Asking someone if they are willing to reconcile and mend their relationship.

Oh I never, never meant to let you down
Apologizing for past actions and expressing regret for disappointing the other person.

And we sit up all night and you never leave
Spending long hours talking to each other without wanting the conversation to end.

And I know it gets dark, but we never sleep
Acknowledging that there are difficulties and challenges, but persevering and staying strong together.

Well my face it still aches from hitting the ground
Remembering a painful memory and experiencing physical pain as a result.

And my ears they still ring with a beautiful sound
Recalling a positive memory that still resonates despite the passage of time.

And you wait on a sign, and you tangle me up
Feeling unsure about what the other person wants and being emotionally entangled with them.

Now we're living in knots, we begin we don't stop
Continuing to work through challenges and obstacles together, despite the difficulty.

Oh you can't deny me yet
Expressing a desire for the other person to stay connected and not cut off the relationship.

Think of all the songs that we have left
Reflecting on the possibilities for future experiences and memories together.

Is there something going on?
Questioning if there is a deeper issue or problem at play in the relationship.

Is it something that I said?
Worried that something said might have caused a rift or conflict in the relationship.

Are you ready to forgive me?
Asking for forgiveness and a chance to move forward in the relationship.

Are you ready to forget?
Asking the other person to let go of past hurts and to move forward with a fresh start.

Oh I saw you waiting for me like a ghost
Seeing the other person as a haunting presence that is always on one's mind.

With your dress pulled out from catching at your feet
Noticing small details and appreciating the other person's appearance and personality.

And there's promises I've made that we both know
Acknowledging past promises that were not kept and understanding the impact of those broken promises.

That I never really had the chance to keep
Admitting that there were circumstances beyond one's control that prevented them from keeping their promises.

Can't you see that we are both afloat
Realizing that both people in the relationship are trying to stay afloat and work towards a better future together.

And there's still a chance for me
Expressing hope that the other person will give them a second chance to make things right.
