    --
    Maybe I’m crazy I've
    Been talking to myself at night
    And I'm feelin' so alone
    If I could get the words out right
    To tell you how I feel I might
    But they're comin' out so wrong
    Then the voices they come rushin' in
    Like a ten ton truck into soft cement
    Now the words make sense but I can't repeat
    Because sense don't make what it used to be
    I'm here my love but I'm floating, baby
    Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
    You tied a tether here to keep me close
    I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
    But it got better when you didn't go
    Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
    And I won't need any more
    Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
    You know I'd really hate to see me float
    I tremble when I see your eyes
    I saw them in a dream last night
    And they heard me sing a song
    I never cared for fancy art
    Or poetry on old guitars
    But they always sing along
    Then the notes fill up like a big balloon
    As I'm drifting upwards away from you
    Now I'm screaming mad with two clenched hands
    Will beauty come if I don't land?
    I'm here my love but I'm floating, baby
    Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
    You tied a tether here to keep me close
    I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
    But it got better when you didn't go
    Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
    And I won't need any more
    Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
    You know I'd really hate to see me float
    Write it to myself at night: as long as you're here I'll be all alright
    I'm here my love but I'm
    I'm here my love but I'm floating baby
    Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
    You tied a tether here to keep me close
    I've been talking to myself on some Icarus spell
    But it got better when you didn't go
    Oh, tell me when you wanna get out of here
    And I won't need any more
    Hold me down tight when I'm losing my mind
    You know I'd really hate to see me float

    Never realized this before but after closely listening to the song, this can very much be about a person with anxious/intrusive thoughts clinging on to a loved one to ground them. At least that's how I see it and it makes it an even better song to listen to :-D
    I wish more people talked about the meaning behind their songs on the comments 🥺
