Sienna

The lyrics express longing for someone and for a future that may never happen. The speaker remembers closeness and shared moments, while also imagining “Sienna,” a possible child who would resemble the person they miss. The repeated name gives the song a tender, wistful feeling: the speaker seems to move between affection, grief, and the effort to accept what is absent.

Several images make this longing vivid. Living “under your eyelids” suggests being kept in someone’s thoughts or memories. Waiting outside the other person’s door and hearing floorboards creak place the speaker in a scene of anxious hope, perhaps expecting them to return. The imagined child’s habits—her temper, playfulness, and sensitivity—turn resemblance into a way of picturing a shared life. “I came clean” usually means admitting the truth, though the next line, “I feel seen / only through you,” suggests that honesty has not made the speaker feel fully understood.

The lyrics do not explain exactly what happened between the two people, or whether Sienna is a real person, a hoped-for child, or an imagined future. The memories may be comforting, painful, or both. In the final image, a face appears in the forest and then disappears, which could suggest how a loved one remains present in memory but cannot be held onto.
