Looking at it now
In hindsight, the situation is clear

It all seems so simple
The situation appeared uncomplicated

We were lying on your couch
We were in a relaxed and comfortable state

I remember
I recall the details

You took a Polaroid of us
You captured the moment with a photograph

Then discovered (then discovered)
Then realized

The rest of the world was black and white
The world was dull and lifeless

But we were in screaming color
We were vibrant and full of life

And I remember thinking
I remember what was going through my mind

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we free from danger?

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Are we safe?

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?
Is it safe now?

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet? Good
It's safe now

Looking at it now
Reflecting on the past

Last December (last December)
Referring to a specific time in the past

We were built to fall apart
Our relationship was doomed to fail

Then fall back together (back together)
Then reunite after a breakup

Ooh, your necklace hanging from my neck, the night we couldn't quite forget
Remembrance of a special moment

When we decided, we decided
When we made up our minds

To move the furniture so we could dance, baby, like we stood a chance
To change the environment and pretend things were better than they were

Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
A reference to how fragile and uncertain their situation was

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
A reference to a car accident

Twenty stitches in a hospital room
The severity of the accident and the aftermath

When you started crying, baby, I did too
Both of them were emotionally affected by the event

But when the sun came up, I was looking at you
Despite the hardship, they were still together

Remember when we couldn't take the heat
A reference to a moment of struggle

I walked out, I said, I'm setting you free
A moment of desperation

But the monsters turned out to be just trees
The situation was less severe than they thought

When the sun came up, you were looking at me
Despite the struggle, they were still together

You were looking at me, oh
She had his attention and affection

(Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?) I remember
Revisiting the question of whether they're safe

(Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?)
Questioning whether the situation is secure

(Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet? Good) oh, I remember
Acknowledging that they are safe now

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Repeating the question of whether they're safe

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Questioning whether the danger has passed

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?
Asking if they're secure now

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet? Good
Affirming that they are secure

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Continuing to question whether they're safe

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Repeating the same question

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?
Asking if they're secure

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet? Good
Affirming that they are secure

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Asking the same question again

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Continuing to question whether they're safe

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?
Questioning whether the situation is secure

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet? Good
Affirming that they are safe now

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
Repeating the same question

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods?
Questioning whether they're safe

Are we in the clear yet? Are we in the clear yet?
Asking if they're secure

Are we in the clear yet? In the clear yet? Good
Confirming that they are safe

Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?
