No Control
Unraveling Desires: No Control by Aaron Carpenter
Lyrics
Can't shake you off
Expressing inability to forget or detach from someone.
Even with all these other girls 'round me
Despite the presence of other girls, the focus remains on a particular person.
We barely talk
Limited communication with the person.
But, damn, those memories just cut so deep (so deep)
Memories of the past are emotionally impactful.
Thinkin' 'bout a night with no sleep
Reflecting on a night of restlessness or emotional turmoil.
Got your number up on my screen
Contacting or thinking about the person.
Usually, I know better
Awareness of making potentially unwise decisions.
But I can't help myself
Unable to resist impulses or emotions related to the person.
(I been) Drinkin' all night
Indulging in alcohol consumption.
(I been) Flirtin' with thoughts about you
Engaging in flirtatious thoughts about the person.
You should come by
Suggesting the person should visit.
And break all of the rules
Encouraging breaking societal or personal rules.
And do the things we used to
Revisiting past activities with the person.
(I got) Whiskey on ice
Having whiskey prepared.
(I could) Find some new things about you
Exploring new aspects or characteristics of the person.
Tension all high
Feeling tension or pressure in the situation.
Know we got some rules, but I got no control 'round you
Lack of control when around the person despite established rules.
White T's, Nikes, lookin' so enticing
Describing the person's appealing appearance with specific details.
Saw it on the Gram and I admit it, I been spyin'
Admitting to observing the person on social media.
Lyin' to myself that I don't miss you ridin' beside me
Denying missing the person but acknowledging self-deception.
Door's unlocked, you know where to find me
Inviting the person, knowing they are welcome.
Thinkin' 'bout a night with no sleep
Reiteration of thoughts about a sleepless night.
Got your number up on my screen
Contacting or thinking about the person again.
Usually, I know better
Recognition of the potential for better judgment.
But I can't help myself
Continued struggle against impulsive feelings.
(I been) Drinking all night
Repeating the pattern of alcohol consumption.
(I been) Flirtin' with thoughts about you
Persisting in flirtatious thoughts about the person.
You should come by
Reiterating the invitation for the person to visit.
And break all of the rules
Encouraging the breaking of rules and revisiting past activities.
And do the things we used to
Expressing a desire to relive past experiences with the person.
(I got) Whiskey on ice
Having prepared whiskey for the occasion.
(I could) Find some new things about you
Expressing a willingness to discover new aspects of the person.
Tension all high
Acknowledging the heightened tension in the situation.
Know we got some rules, but I got no control 'round you
Reiterating the lack of control around the person despite established rules.
