It can be inferred from the lyrics that this song is about being in a place where you’re making bad decisions in your life and you know that your choices are hurting you, but you don’t have the will to change for the better.
[Verse 1]
Tempting lies, with bloodshot eyes
It's not who I wanted to be
It's not who I wanted to be
Buried deep in a song I keep
And words that I needed to say
But words never come out right
[Pre-Chorus]
We believe our hearts are pleased
Well, I don't feel good enough
I don't feel good enough
[Chorus]
We learn along the way (That life has meaning)
Inside, we feel the same (Still we lack the will to change)
All this time we know what's right
And we can make it out alive if we learn from the night
[Verse 2]
Say goodnight with hurt inside
I guess I had something to prove
But your heart would not move
Terrified of the fear we hide
And words that we needed to say
But words never come out right
[Pre-Chorus]
We hope at best
Our hearts will rest, well
That's not good enough
That's not good enough
[Chorus]
We learn along the way (That life has meaning)
Inside, we feel the same (Still we lack the will to change)
All this time we know what's right
And we can make it out alive if we learn from the night
[Bridge]
I see now that you won't give up (You'll never)
Close your eyes 'cause we mean too much
[Chorus]
We learn along the way (That life has meaning)
Inside, we feel the same (Still we lack the will to change)
All this time we know what's right
And we can make it out alive if we learn from the night
