Sarah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ohhhhhh
When you were here I didn't notice
The little things you said and done
Now your not here
I need you closer
I want you back I want you back
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I don't want to believe your story's over,
Im so glad for the time that we spent memories
I can't let go of
When I close my eyes
I think of you
I think of all we've been through
In my dreams I see your smile and your embrace
But now your gone
Ohh ohh oh oh
Im all alone inside my head now
The silence is so loud I can't escape
Im try'na make sense of this mess now
There's twists and turns just help me find my way
I wear my heart on my sleeve
I don't want to believe your story's over
Im so glad for the time that we spent memory
I can't let go of
When I close my eyes
I think of you
I think of all we've been through
In my dreams I see your smile and your embrace
But now your gone
Ohhh ohhh oh oh
I can't forget I made my mistakes
It was you that pulled me back when I strayed
If I put the world up on a plate
I would serve it to you night and day
When I close my eyes
I think of you
I think of all we've been through
In my dreams I see your smile and your embrace




But now your gone
Ohh ohh oh oh

Line by Line Meaning

Give me a hole
I want a place to escape and hide from my troubles


Where I can hide
I want a place to take shelter and disappear from everything


A gaping void like this one inside
My inner emptiness is too overwhelming to cope with alone


Give me a room, safe and warm
I need a comforting space where I can feel protected and reassured


Where I can gently toss and turn
I want a place where I can rest easy and allow myself to feel any emotion without judgment


I walk alone through strange new lands
I feel lost and uncertain in a world that is unfamiliar and unpredictable


For I have no home and I have no plan
I lack a sense of belonging and direction in life


Took a new perspective and now I'm so far gone
I changed my outlook on life and now I feel like I'm far from where I used to be


That I'm dangling above the great beyond
I feel like I'm hovering on the edge of something ominous and unknown


And the earth is a different kind of blue
My perception of the world has changed and it seems surreal and unfamiliar


But I still can't get far enough away
Despite trying to distance myself, my problems still linger and haunt me


Sometimes it's scary
Taking risks and stepping into the unknown can be frightening


To fly by the seat of your pants
To take a chance and go with your instincts, without a clear plan


But I can't stop now
I can't give up or turn back, even if it's terrifying


I'm racing, trail blazing, burning a raging path
I'm moving quickly and forcefully, leaving a mark and taking control


Running, singeing everything in the aftermath
I'm causing a disturbance and burning bridges in my wake


Of a broken girl, a shattered dream
I'm grappling with the aftermath of my own failures and disappointments


I'm taking stabs at who I'll be
I'm experimenting with different versions of myself, trying to figure out who I want to become


All over me.
My struggles are present and ever-present in my life


But I still can't get far enough away
Despite my efforts, my problems still linger and follow me wherever I go
