Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unload and undress, collapse into bed.
Brushing away the past from our
Shoulders; another night, another day older.
We discard our regrets and sleep in our secrets.
You realize you don't know how to tell me the
Truth, and i accept it: i'm never happy to see you.
We wake up early every day for weeks,
You're counting the days until you see him again, another night,
Another day spent shutting my
Mouth tight, looking on the bright side.
We knew from the start this would crush
Both of our hearts, but what can i say?
We did it anyway.
But it is okay, we figured things would end up this way.
And it is okay, i know i'll stop breathing one day,
And i'll never be able to justify the ways that i lived my only life.
I just want something to feel all
Right, something to show for all this time.
How many times will i pour my heart
Into another person's failure to move?
How many times can we give this a try?
How many nights will i lie awake waiting?
The lyrics of "Stumble" by awakebutstillinbed talk about a tumultuous relationship where both partners willingly hurt each other, despite knowing that it will end up in heartbreak. The song starts with the couple entering their dirty bedroom, unloading and undressing, and eventually collapsing into bed. They try to forget their past, discard their regrets, and sleep in their secrets. However, the relationship is not healthy as one partner realizes that they do not know how to tell the other the truth, and the other partner accepts it, knowing that they are never happy to see each other.
They wake up early every day, drive for long hours, and take three person showers. The partner knows that the other is counting the days until they see someone else again, another night spent shutting their mouth tight and trying to look on the bright side. Despite knowing that this relationship would crush both their hearts, they still did it anyway. They continue to justify their actions by thinking that it is okay, and everything will end up this way. However, the singer questions how many times they will pour their heart into someone else’s failure to move, how many times can they give this a try, and how many nights will they keep lying awake waiting.
The lyrics of "Stumble" are emotionally powerful, and they describe the pain, confusion, and love that two people can have when they are in a complicated and destructive relationship. It allows the listener to reflect on their own relationships, the extent to which they will go for love, and the price that they may pay in the end.

We stumble into our dirty bedroom,
We clumsily make our way into the untidy room we share
Unload and undress, collapse into bed.
We remove our clothing and fall onto the bed, exhausted from the day
Brushing away the past from our
Shoulders; another night, another day older.
We try to forget about the past as we move on to another day
We discard our regrets and sleep in our secrets.
We let go of our regrets and keep our secrets as we fall asleep
You realize you don't know how to tell me the
Truth, and i accept it: i'm never happy to see you.
You understand that you can't be honest with me, and I reluctantly accept it since I am never pleased to see you
We wake up early every day for weeks,
Drive for long hours, take three person showers.
We wake up early each morning, travel for hours on end, and bathe together
You're counting the days until you see him again, another night,
Another day spent shutting my
Mouth tight, looking on the bright side.
You eagerly anticipate the next time you'll be with him, while I hold back my emotions and try to remain optimistic
We knew from the start this would crush
Both of our hearts, but what can i say?
We did it anyway.
We were aware that this would ultimately break our hearts, but we went ahead with it anyway
But it is okay, we figured things would end up this way.
It's alright, we knew this situation would unfold as it has
And it is okay, i know i'll stop breathing one day,
And i'll never be able to justify the ways that i lived my only life.
It's fine, I'm aware that my time will come to an end and I'll never be able to fully justify how I lived my life
I just want something to feel all
Right, something to show for all this time.
I desire something that will make everything feel alright, something to prove that this time was well-spent
How many times will i pour my heart
Into another person's failure to move?
How often will I invest my emotions into someone who refuses to progress?

How many nights will I spend wide awake, waiting for something to happen?

Lyrics for my Spanish speaking buds.... Nos tropezamos con nuestra habitación sucia, Descargar y desvestirse, colapsar en la cama. Cepillando el pasado de nuestro Espalda; otra noche, otro día más viejo. Descartamos nuestros remordimientos y dormimos en nuestros secretos. Te das cuenta de que no sabes cómo decirme La verdad, y lo acepto: nunca estoy feliz de verte. Nos levantamos temprano todos los días durante semanas, Conduzca durante largas horas, tome duchas para tres personas. Estás contando los días hasta que lo vuelvas a ver, otra noche, Otro día que pasé cerrando mi Boca apretada, mirando el lado positivo. Sabíamos desde el principio que esto aplastaría Ambos corazones, pero ¿qué puedo decir? Lo hicimos de todos modos. Pero está bien, pensamos que las cosas terminarían de esta manera. Y está bien, sé que dejaré de respirar ...
