Without A Word
Watkins Sara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to lay low
Giving you time to read the stars
Trying to wait for
Something you don't know
To show you where you are
Where you are
Where you are
It's been so long now
I know I should forget you
Yeah, I ought to let it lie
But I'm bound to wonder
All about you
No matter how I try
There you are
There you are
There you are
First a knock and then a crash
And a staggering conviction
That I might not catch up
Like all the colors running down a portrait
And now it looks nothing like the one I fell in love with
I thought I could write you right out of my story
When all the clear lines blurred
I still want you to show up
Yeah, I hope you'll just roll through
After all these years without a word
Without a word
Without a word
Without a word

Trying to back off
Attempting to distance myself
Trying to lay low
Striving to go unnoticed
Giving you time to read the stars
Granting you space to find direction
Trying to wait for
Endeavoring to patiently await
Something you don't know
An unknown revelation
To show you where you are
To reveal your current state
Where you are
Your present location
Where you are
Your current position
Where you are
Your exact whereabouts
It's been so long now
A significant amount of time has passed
I know I should forget you
I am aware that I should let go of you
Yeah, I ought to let it lie
Indeed, I should allow it to rest
But I'm bound to wonder
However, I am compelled to ponder
All about you
Every aspect concerning you
No matter how I try
Regardless of my attempts
There you are
You are present
There you are
I have found you
There you are
You have been discovered
First a knock and then a crash
Initially a gentle disturbance followed by a loud impact
And a staggering conviction
And an overwhelming certainty
That I might not catch up
That I may not be able to keep pace
Like all the colors running down a portrait
Similar to the way colors drip off a painting
And now it looks nothing like the one I fell in love with
And now it bears no resemblance to the one I deeply adored
I thought I could write you right out of my story
I believed I could eradicate you from my narrative
When all the clear lines blurred
However, when all the distinct boundaries became indistinct
I still want you to show up
I still desire your presence
Yeah, I hope you'll just roll through
Yes, I desire for you to casually pass by
After all these years without a word
Despite the significant amount of time elapsed without communication
Without a word
Silently, without any verbal expression
Without a word
In complete silence
Without a word
Lacking any form of communication
