Lyrics
Even if you're falling short
Expressing the feeling of not meeting expectations or falling short of something.
It could never really be that bad
Positively asserting that the situation is not as bad as it may seem.
I wish you waited when you wanted more
Expressing a desire for patience when seeking more in a relationship or situation.
Too busy missing what you never had
Being preoccupied with the absence of something, perhaps unaware of what is truly missed.
You got a little ennui
Feeling a sense of world-weariness or boredom.
Everybody gets a little lonely
Acknowledging that everyone experiences moments of loneliness.
And I know its hard to be happy alone
Recognizing the difficulty of finding happiness when alone.
You're in the city but you're on your own
Being physically present in a city but emotionally detached and independent.
Saying oh my god
Expressing surprise or disbelief, possibly in response to personal shortcomings.
I'm a waster
Self-identifying as someone who wastes opportunities or resources.
And even if you fall in love
Suggesting that even in love, true fulfillment is elusive.
You could never really have it good
Casting doubt on the possibility of achieving genuine happiness.
You'll always worry if you did enough
Expressing an ongoing concern about whether one has done enough in various aspects of life.
If you could do it all again you would
Expressing a desire for a chance to redo past actions.
You'll always want a little more more more
Highlighting a perpetual yearning for more in life.
Always need a little more more more
Emphasizing an ongoing need for additional satisfaction or fulfillment.
You know you never really have it when you want it
Reflecting on the elusive nature of having what one desires when desired.
And you lose it when you got it
Pointing out the tendency to lose valuable things once they are acquired.
Cause you're busy being haunted
Being preoccupied or tormented by past experiences or regrets.
By a little ennui
Reiterating a sense of world-weariness or boredom.
Everybody gets a little lonely
Acknowledging that everyone experiences moments of loneliness.
And I know its hard to be happy alone
Recognizing the difficulty of finding happiness when alone.
You're in the city but you're on your own
Being physically present in a city but emotionally detached and independent.
Saying oh my god
Expressing surprise or disbelief, possibly in response to personal shortcomings.
I'm a waster
Reiterating the self-identification as someone who wastes opportunities or resources.
