Lyrics
You get to walk out
You have the option to leave.
if not then then there’s nothing to talk bout
If not, there's nothing left to discuss.
chances now you wanna fold
There's a likelihood that you want to give up.
the line has gone cold
The connection or relationship has become distant.
baby I’m sorry you’ll just have to calm down
Apology for needing to calm down; dislike for "I'm wrong."
hate those two words and ‘I’m wrong’ count
Counting backward to distract from negative thoughts.
backwards from 10 till the thoughts drown
Contemplating life as you age.
wondering until you’re old
Questioning if one conforms to expectations.
do I fit the mold?
Self-reflection on fitting societal norms.
is it enough to be just safe and sound
Contentment with safety but questioning fulfillment.
is it too much like you’re stuck in the ground
Feeling stuck or restricted.
is it the touch of someone not allowed
Yearning for forbidden affection.
you’ve heard all the stories think
Recognition of stories about oneself being ignored.
you’re just ignoring I’m who they’re about
Addressing avoidance of acknowledging personal relevance.
let’s put them to rest now
Suggesting closure to lingering issues.
has it been too long to forget now
Questioning if it's too late to forget.
salvaging what you have left wow
Salvaging what remains.
you’re too scared to leave
Fearful of leaving but reluctant to stay.
but don’t want to stay
Internal conflict about the relationship.
You’ll have to learn how to lie
Advising the need to learn how to lie.
learn how to lie
Emphasizing the importance of deception.
learn how to lie
-I can’t teach you to lie
-teach you to lie
-teach you to lie
-I’ll get my shit right
Expressing a desire to improve oneself.
get into something that fits like
Seeking something that feels right.
the jacket I bought at your store
Reflecting on a jacket and the color symbolism.
that you never wore
-don’t know why i guessed that you
-wanted it in white
-black is the color of sin I’m
-back in your covers again, why
-it never felt holy before
Exploring newfound sanctity in a relationship.
and now even more
-think I’ll know wrong when the lights aren’t dim
Missing signals and yearning for physical closeness.
I just miss signs and go out on whim
-I just miss you and the clutch of your limbs
-feel safe in the presence of
Feeling secure in new experiences.
every new crevice I find myself in
-can we get the check please
Requesting change or acceptance in the relationship.
I need you to change or accept me
-my turn and you can’t redirect me
-you’re too scared to leave
Torn between fear of leaving and reluctance to stay.
but don’t wanna stay
-You’ll have to learn how to lie
Reiterating the necessity to learn how to lie.
learn how to lie
Stressing the importance of acquiring the skill of deception.
learn how to lie
-I can’t teach you to lie
-teach you to lie
-teach you to lie
