Sharing more than moments
Even though
(Even though)
I remember when nights were longer, longer
Ain't no sober, sober
Here alone
(Here alone)
Pré-Chorus
You're miles away and
Can't realize you're gone
Yeah can't realize you're gone

Spend the days here living undercover
Waiting for the summer
As we fall
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
There's so much I can't get over, over
Can't get over, over
On my own
(Yeah, on my own
Yeah, alone but you
Yeah, on my own
Yeah, alone, alone)
You're miles away and
Can't realize you're gone
Yeah can't realize you're gone
We'll find a way
We're riders on the storm
Yeah riders on the storm
It isn't how, it isn't how I feel
It isn't how, it isn't how
It isn't how, it isn't how I feel
(Yeah, on my own
Yeah, alone but you
Yeah, on my own
Yeah, alone but you
Yeah, on my own
Yeah, alone but you
Yeah, on my own
Yeah, alone but you)
In these lyrics, the artist is reminiscing about a past relationship and expressing feelings of longing and loneliness. The first verse begins with a nostalgic tone, as the artist mentions missing the days when they were more than just lovers and shared more than just fleeting moments. This suggests a desire for a deeper connection and emotional intimacy. The mention of longer nights and being sober indicates a time when they were happier, perhaps suggesting that sobriety brings about a sense of reality and awareness of their current situation.
The pre-chorus reflects the artist's struggle to accept the fact that their loved one is no longer present. The phrase "miles away" signifies not only physical distance but also an emotional disconnect. The artist acknowledges their own inability to fully grasp the absence of their loved one, hinting at a sense of denial or a longing for their return.
The second verse continues the theme of longing and waiting, as the artist mentions living undercover, metaphorically suggesting a life of secrecy and hidden emotions. They express a desire for the arrival of summer, symbolizing a season of warmth, happiness, and potentially a reunion with their loved one. However, the mention of not being able to get over certain things suggests that they are still struggling to move on and find closure.
The chorus reaffirms the emotional distress caused by the absence of the loved one. The repetition of the phrase "miles away" emphasizes the vast distance between them, both physically and emotionally. The artist uses the metaphor of being riders on the storm, signifying a journey filled with challenges, uncertainties, and the need to find a way to cope with the pain of separation.
The repetition of the phrase "it isn't how I feel" in the bridge suggests a conflicting emotional state. It implies that despite their longing and loneliness, there may be some resistance in fully accepting and expressing their emotions. The repetition of "yeah, on my own" juxtaposed with "yeah, alone but you" suggests a struggle between independence and a lingering attachment to the loved one.
Overall, these lyrics delve into the artist's feelings of nostalgia, longing, and loneliness experienced after the end of a relationship. It portrays a journey of self-discovery, acceptance, and the search for closure while simultaneously dealing with the lingering emotions tied to the past.
