Fantasy Man
The Swell Season Lyrics

There's diamonds growing in the mountains
There are valuable opportunities present, waiting to be discovered.

Beneath the pressure of all time
As time goes on, these opportunities become more valuable.

They grow in hope and expectation
The potential of these opportunities is exciting and full of promise.

Waiting for your hands to find
However, it requires the right person to recognize their worth and take advantage of them.

Cause only you could reach inside me
The artist believes that only their lover can truly understand and appreciate them.

And figure out the worth,
The singer wants their lover to recognize their value and importance.

Of a life I lived providing
The singer has devoted their life to fulfilling their lover's needs and desires.

What it was you needed most
The artist has always prioritized fulfilling their lover's needs above their own.

And if everything is measured by the hole it leaves behind
The impact of one's actions is judged by the mark it leaves on the world.

Then this mountain has been leveled
The artist's relationship with their lover has caused significant change and impact.

And there's no more diamonds in the mine
This relationship has reached its end and the opportunities it once held are now gone.

Go on now just leave it
The artist urges their lover to move on from their relationship.

The timing wasn't right
The relationship was doomed from the start due to unfortunate timing.

And the force that swept us both away
The chemistry and passion between the singer and their lover was too intense and consuming.

Was too strong for us to fight
Despite efforts to resist, the attraction between them was too powerful to overcome.

Fantasy man you are always one step ahead of me
The artist's lover is constantly out of reach and hard to understand.

Well I never heard the warning
The artist was blinded by love and failed to see the warning signs of their failing relationship.

Oh I haven't got things right
The singer takes responsibility for their role in the relationship's downfall.

Yet the sun came out this morning
Despite the difficulties, life still goes on and there is still hope for the future.

And filled my room with light
The artist finds comfort and hope in the simple things in life.

So go on now, you are forgiven
The artist has forgiven their lover and wishes them well in their future endeavors.

Let's put it down to life
The artist recognizes that sometimes things just don't work out and it's no one's fault.

The story of two lovers
This is the story of two people who fell in love and struggled to make it work.

Who danced both edges of the knife
Their love was risky and intense, and neither knew what the future held.

In the station you're standing
The singer's lover is at a crossroads in their life, unsure of their next move.

Not knowing what you want
Despite the uncertainty, the singer's lover is open to new possibilities and opportunities.

And the secrets we're defending
The singer and their lover have shared intimate secrets and experiences that bond them together.

Have become our only bond
Their shared experiences and history are the only thing keeping the artist and their lover connected.

Just be patient while I wait here
The artist asks their lover to be patient and give them space to figure out their own feelings and desires.

Our journey is out of sync
The singer and their lover are not on the same page and cannot move forward together.

While you're out there running in the chaos
The singer's lover is living an unpredictable and chaotic life, while the singer desires stability and security.

I need some time to think
The artist needs time to process their emotions and decide what they truly want from life and love.
