In "Believing," Emma Ogier weighs a love that could bloom through changing seasons or collapse under doubt and distance. She imagines chasing each other through fall, laughing until tears arrive, yet fears loving her is an empty mile or that the space she needs will suffocate him. The flickering lights and a promise that never stuck capture hope flickering against uncertainty. Still, she keeps choosing belief, waiting for the day staying feels worth it to him too.
Believing Lyrics by Emma Ogier
Maybe in a whisper
Ice is gonna be dripping off a building
Come winter we’ll all be changed
If I still feel this way
Baby I’d love to chase you through the fall
And maybe when we get back home
Laughing ’bout the night on our own
‘Til the tears they start to flow, but it’s the same damn feeling
Then I’ll know that I was right to keep believing
Maybe it’s the best thing
Daisies ready for pickin’ in the garden
And spring’s never felt the same
I met you and everything changed
So baby I’m trying to teach you before you fall
Cuz what if loving me’s an empty mile
Or I write you ’til you go out of style
Every time you walk the stairs I’ve got the monitors beeping
And you’ll know you were wrong to keep appeasing
Days I can’t remember
Nice to know I was ripping up the stage
Come summer I’ll be long gone
Probably writing a new song
I’ll be testing my luck to keep you from a game
Or maybe it’ll all go south
And it’s a last call when you bounce
Or if you suffocate from all the space I’m stealing
Then I’ll know you were right to keep retreating
Maybe when you kiss me
Lights are gonna go flicker in the distance
And we’re looking at the year gone by
Now together on the 4th of July
You said, “baby I’d love to keep this on the low
But I’m never gonna give you up”
It’s a promise that’s never stuck
But If one day you decide that it’s worth keeping
Then I’ll know I was right to keep believing
Yeah, I’ll know I was right to keep believing
I’ll know I was right
