verse 1 Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long The window's open now and the winter settles in We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin I love your depression and I love your double chin I love 'most everything that you bring to this offering Oh I know that I left you in places of despair Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up 'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup verse 2 Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone We could get a house and some boxes on the lawn We could make babies and accidental songs I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool I hope we didn't break yet, but I'm glad we broke the rules My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through I cover my eyes, still all I see is you Chorus Oh I know that I left you in places of despair Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up 'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un profond sentiment de solitude et de perte après le départ de l'être aimé. Le narrateur se réveille dans une maison vide, confronté à l'absence de cette personne qui était autrefois une source de joie et de réconfort. À travers des souvenirs tendres, il exprime à quel point il chérissait leur complicité et combien il se sent désemparé maintenant qu'il est seul. Il fait appel à cette personne, partageant à la fois son regret pour les erreurs commises et son désir de retrouver une forme de lumière dans la noirceur de sa solitude. Ce contexte de mélancolie est accentué par des images de saisons et de moments du quotidien, soulignant à quel point tout semble terne sans la présence de l'autre.
