Intro:                    verse 1 You’re just a stones throw for me But throwing stones could never be The perfect way to start. Coz sticks and stones make broken bones Empty words make broken homes But it’s love that broke our hearts. Chorus 1 And if I knew what you were thinking I would stop this boat from sinking But darling you are like the sand And you’re slipping through my hands I just don’t know what you’re thinking. Repeat intro chords                        verse 2 You’re just a photo in a drawer But photographs are not much more Than ghosts we can’t forget. You’re just a red rag to a bull Just a false hope for a fool But it’s as close as I can get.   And if I knew what you were thinking I would stop this boat from sinking But darling you are like the sun Setting when my evening comes I just don’t know what you’re thinking.   Bridge And I would stop the sky from falling If I knew If I knew And I would love you every morning If I knew If I knew.   Strum these chords once And if I knew what you were thinking I would stop this boat from sinking Back to normal strumming pattern But darling you are like the stars I know I can’t reach that far I just don’t know what your thinking.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson parle de la difficulté de comprendre les pensées de l'autre et des conséquences que cela engendre dans une relation. L’artiste évoque des images de proximité, mais aussi de distance, symbolisant une connexion qui s'effrite. Il semble tiraillé entre ses émotions et l'impossibilité d'anticiper les sentiments de l'autre, ce qui rend la situation encore plus compliquée. En somme, c’est une réflexion sur la vulnérabilité de l'amour et les erreurs de communication qui peuvent faire sombrer une relation. Le protagoniste désire arrêter cette chute et maintenir la liaison, mais se sent impuissant face à l'incertitude des sentiments de l'autre.
