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 speakerโs thoughts. Seeing their reflection in a mirror suggests that memories or thoughts of them are everywhere. Mistaking a strangerโs face for theirs shows how expectation can shape what the speaker sees. โA love thatโs 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 speakerโs life.
The lyrics leave the relationshipโs history and the other personโs 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 โshouldโ be together sounds both determined and unsure; wanting something deeply does not prove that it will happen.
