Thanks for Nothing
Transit Lyrics

You're always looking out for flaws
You focus only on flaws and nothing else

Until they're all that you can see
Until flaws become your entire focus and blind you from seeing anything positive

When as you age you learn that love
As you grow older and gain experience in love

Is moving at somebody else's speed
Love cannot be controlled entirely by you and moves at a pace dictated by both parties in the relationship

You said:
Someone spoke to the artist saying

"Love love love is a song
Love is portrayed symbolically through the act of singing

Follow my melody to sing along"
Follow this style of love to get it right

Tell me how how do I sing along?
How can I participate in this love song too?

You're gonna lose more than you win
In love, losses often occur more than wins

You will hate them just as much as you love them
Love is often a paradox in that it brings one close to someone and yet simultaneously can make one hate that person as well

Look at every little thing
Pay attention to small things

You can't fix it if it's already broken"
If someone is already broken, you cannot fix them and it's not your fault

I will lose more than I win
The artist recognizes they will experience more loss than wins in love too

I will hate you just as much as I love you
Paradox of love - the artist will hate just as much as they will love

Look at every little thing
Pay attention to details in love

I can't fix you, you're already broken
The artist recognizes that they cannot do anything to fix a broken person, they must do it for themselves

Cause back when your car had a drop to drink
Harking back to a shared past with someone

We begged the hills to roll us home
They used to ask for help when they needed it

And moved through towns on pocket change
They traveled when they had little to no money

We bled the tank until it was gone
They didn't have much to give, but they gave everything they had

I sat and watched as the clouds rolled back
Reflecting on a past memory in which the artist felt joy

Sinking through the linden trees
Imagery, surrounded by nature

Braking curses with a laugh
Breaking from negativity with humor

We had the world hanging on
They felt powerful and significant at this moment in time

The edge of our keys
Life was in the palm of their hands

Silence says it all
Lack of communication still communicates volumes

Words are not enough
Words cannot fix everything

You left a note right where you left me
A breakup where the note was left exactly where the relationship ended

"Thanks for nothing"
A snide comment indicating the artist feels the person who left didn't bring much meaning to their life

"Thanks for nothing"
Repeating the same sentiment, feeling as though their effort wasn't appreciated
