i wanna see you again
i know i fucked this up
can we just please be friends
take me far away
somewhere that i cant see
take me to ur dormitory
lay with me
and will you tell me its alright
will you tell me its okay to be upset
at least today
you wonu0027t regret
thereu0027s nothing more
for me to get
and when this is over
will u meet me at the grave
at the abandoned cemetery
where youu0027re great grandmotheru0027s buried
tell me all your dreams and i will tell you mine
find u a guitar
sing me a lullaby
ill see you in my sleep
thatu0027s where we meet at night
in the middle of the street
no cars go by
(please dont stay outside
will i see you again
i know i fucked up
can we please be friends)
these hills are yours
(dont abandon me)
In the first verse of Charlie Zacks's song "Powerlines," the singer implores his lover not to stay outside and instead come back to him. He admits to having messed up their relationship and hopes they can just be friends. He asks his lover to take him somewhere where they can be alone and away from the rest of the world -- to their dormitory perhaps. He asks if it's all right for him to be upset and whether they can meet up with each other in the future, not just for a day, but even after they have passed and gone to their graves. The second verse sees the lover asking the singer about his dreams and vice versa. The singer asks his lover to sing him a lullaby as they meet at night in their dreams in the middle of an empty street.
The song "Powerlines" touches upon themes of love, loss, and nostalgia. The singer is clearly missing his lover and wishes they could come back to him. However, he acknowledges his fault and is just asking for forgiveness and perhaps a chance to rebuild their relationship from the ground up as friends. The mention of the grave and abandoned cemetery offers a sense of melancholy to the song, conveying the idea that their love may even transcend death.
