Lyrics meaning

The speaker feels lonely and preoccupied with someone they want to be close to. Rain, wind, and an empty hall create a quiet, unsettled mood. As the lyrics continue, longing turns into a decision: the speaker thinks they should be with this person, though it is unclear whether they will act on that feeling.

Several images show how strongly the person occupies the speakerโ€™s thoughts. Seeing their reflection in a mirror suggests that memories or thoughts of them are everywhere. Mistaking a strangerโ€™s face for theirs shows how expectation can shape what the speaker sees. โ€œA love thatโ€™s overdueโ€ implies that a relationship or declaration of love feels delayed, as if it should have happened already. The repeated question about whether the person is coming around also carries uncertainty: it may mean literally approaching, or returning to the speakerโ€™s life.

The lyrics leave the relationshipโ€™s history and the other personโ€™s feelings unstated. The speaker may be recognizing a genuine connection, but the dreamlike scenes make it possible that they are caught in hope more than in a shared reality. Their repeated belief that they โ€œshouldโ€ be together sounds both determined and unsure; wanting something deeply does not prove that it will happen.
