Broken
Tal Bachman Lyrics

I'm making my way home
The singer is returning to his/her home

The headlights blur and glow
The singer sees the lights of oncoming traffic

Got my steering wheel gripped tight
The singer is gripping the steering wheel firmly

I'm gonna try again,
The artist wants to make another effort

But I'm not sure how to mend
The artist is unsure how to fix something that went wrong

What's gone wrong without a fight
Something went wrong without the singer and others having the chance to repair it

Can't find the words
The singer cannot express his/her feeling in words

To understand
The artist is unable to comprehend a situation

Of that which ends
The artist cannot make sense of what is ending

We're up and down like an ocean
The artist's relationship is characterized by fluctuations

A tidal wave of emotion
The singer and the other person have intense feelings towards each other

Yeah yeah yeah
Emotional emphasis

Don't know what to do and nothing comes to mind
The singer does not know what action to take

My inspiration has run dry
The singer has lost the motivation and ideas needed to overcome a problem

Looks like we're finally broken
It seems that the relationship is irreparably over

I'm pullin' up the drive
The artist is driving up to the house

Takin' too much time
The artist is being hesitant

Like a stranger out of place
The singer feels like an outsider

I try to force a smile,
The singer attempts to appear cheerful

If only for a while
Even if only temporarily

And we'll sit down face to face
The artist will talk with the other person

If I hear you
If the artist listens to the other person

And you hear me
If the other person listens to the singer

It should be so easy
Solving the problem should be straightforward if the two listen to each other

Don't know what to think
The singer is unsure of what to think

And don't know what to say
The singer does not know what to say

We're out of luck and we're losin' faith
The singer and the other person cannot count on chance, and they are losing confidence in their relationship

Na na na na
Vocals for emotional emphasis

We started something so fine and rare
The artist and the other person began something special and unique

And now we're stuck in neutral, we're goin nowhere
The singer and the other person are in a situation that is not improving

No, we're goin' nowhere
Emphasizing the unprogressive nature of the relationship

I held my breath and walked through the door
The artist nervously enters the home

I said I think we outta try once more
The artist suggests that they should attempt to repair their relationship

You said I just don't want to anymore
The other person responds with resistance and unwillingness to repair the relationship

Nothing left to be spoken
There is nothing else to say

Na na na na
Vocals for emotional emphasis

No no
Emphasis on the finality of the situation

Yeah yeah
Conveying strong emotions
