Tender Lyrics

These lyrics convey a sense of renewal and reconnection with life.

The repeated phrases “I think” and “Alive” indicate a sense of awakening and a return to their true self. The lyrics suggest a personal transformation or rebirth, as the speaker feels reinvigorated and eager to embrace what they’ve missed.

First step, now second
I’m trying to pull it together
Am I dreaming?
Sky looks so big
And the birds are singing, they say
“Hello, how you doing?”

These lines express a sense of awakening and wonder. The speaker is taking deliberate steps to regain their composure and senses (“First step, now second, I’m trying to pull it together”), but they also question whether this newfound experience is real or just a dream (“Am I dreaming?”). The mention of the expansive sky and the singing birds conveys a feeling of being surrounded by the beauty and vitality of nature, and the birds’ greeting, “Hello, how you doing?” symbolizes a sense of connection to the world. These lines reflect a moment of rediscovery and reconnection with the world and its wonders.

I think
She is breathing around me
Alive, the colours are coming to me

These lines suggest a profound sense of awareness and vibrancy. The speaker feels as though someone (“She”) is close to them, and this presence is making them acutely aware of the world’s vitality. They sense life and color returning to their surroundings, indicating a newfound appreciation for the beauty and vibrancy of life. These lines convey a heightened state of perception and an emotional connection that is reinvigorating the speaker’s outlook on life.

First step, now second
I’m trying to pull it together
Am I dreaming?
Sky looks so big
And the birds are singing, they say
“Hello, how you doing?”

I think
She is breathing around me
Alive, the colours are coming to me

I think
I am brought back to where I belong
Alive, can’t wait to see what I have missed

Could this be my
Very own rebirth

First breath, now second
Got nothing in me
Am I crazy?
Must be on something

Everything around me is moving
They’re greeting me, “Hello, whatcha doing?”

I have been away, mulling this over
I can always feel, I can always count on you
You can always feel me too
Binding on this love, i know
I have been away, mulling this over

It’s something –
You’ve got to feel it
When it comes to you
