You Were Right

You were right

I know I can't get enough of you

Leave it all to bloom

I don't know I can't get enough of you, no

The things that I would do
The artist implies that they would do anything for their beloved.

Under the water, I'm sinking further down

Floating, I'm nothing, I'm nothing
The singer feels as if they are without substance or purpose.

Arms are wide open, I'm calling out your name
The artist longs for their beloved and reaches out to them emotionally.

Sitting and waiting, I'm waiting
The artist is waiting for their beloved, likely for some sort of response or action.

I'm cold in the river
The artist feels isolated and lonely, as if they are in the midst of a cold body of water.

Lips moving, there's no sound
The singer feels as if they are not being heard or understood.

Pulling me under, I'm under
The artist feels as if they are losing control and being overtaken by their emotions.

You've given me nothing
The singer feels empty and unfulfilled despite their attention toward their beloved.

Keep telling me I'll be fine
The singer feels as if they are being given false hope, perhaps by their beloved or by their own expectations.

Keeping me kissing, out guessing
The singer feels as if they are being kept in a state of confusion and unpredictability, possibly by their beloved.
