On the surface, it's a simple love song about learning to appreciate those around you. With the addition of the 'pixar jazz' piano it is realised as a melancholy love song about trying to keep those loved ones close.
lyrics
You tell yourself to implement some order,
And hide your fear of coming in too strong.
To recognise the happiness she spoke of,
You hardly seemed to know what was wrong.
Another day, another destination.
Waiting for an anchor in the sea.
It could be I'm another soul to wake up and see,
That you're already here with me.
Your open eyes remind me of the forest,
Whose wind could always knock me down with ease.
A phantom in the darkness that could hold me by the heart,
And drag my breath away upon the breeze.
There's not a star below me that could hold me down
A never-ending sorry fantasy.
It could be we're another soul to wake up and see,
That I'm already here with you, and forever will be...
