Lyrics
I really wanna go, really wanna go
Expressing a strong desire to go somewhere.
They promised me they'd watch me as i swayed, swayed

Little pups, in teapot cups

Master Shifu said, trouble up ahead
Reference to Master Shifu warning about trouble ahead.
Speaks of courage but I'm cowering instead
Acknowledging the advice but feeling afraid and hesitant.
Jammed between the knees, towering, I fled
Describing a moment of fear and escape, possibly metaphorical.
Helpless, scheming eyes, seems I've been left for dead
Feeling abandoned and betrayed, using vivid imagery of scheming eyes.
Do you wanna stay gone
Pondering the choice to remain absent or detached.
Do you wanna be found

Out on your own you know you're easy prey
Highlighting vulnerability when alone, susceptible to challenges.
Claim me as your own? I don't wanna stay gone
Expressing a reluctance to be claimed or owned by someone.
Need you now, I'm running to the gate
Seeking companionship and rushing towards a metaphorical gate.
Haunted House, I don't belong
Feeling out of place, using "Haunted House" as a metaphor for discomfort.
I forget whats going on
Experiencing confusion or disorientation, forgetting the current situation.
My heart's with you so I'm not as strong
Expressing emotional vulnerability and dependence on someone.
All that's left are my whispered wrongs
Acknowledging and regretting past mistakes or misdeeds.
You let me go, that's all I know
Recognizing a release or letting go, uncertain of what follows.
Ferris wheels cant take me home
Ferris wheels symbolizing temporary joy or distraction, unable to provide a permanent home.
All I want is the warmth of my bed
Expressing a longing for comfort and security, represented by a warm bed.
And to be resting, chest to head, chest to head
Desiring a close and intimate connection, chest to head.
Curly brown with servis shoes
Describing physical attributes, possibly in search of someone.
I look for you, and only you
Expressing a focused search for a specific person.
Are there breadcrumbs for me too

Are there monsters left in you, too
Raising the possibility of hidden fears or flaws in the person being sought.
Master Shifu said, trouble up ahead

Speaks of courage but I'm cowering instead
