Lyrics
When I met you I was sidetracked
Encountered you while distracted or off course
Couldn't even stop to think it through
Unable to pause and consider the situation
Even if I tried to backtrack
Even if attempting to retrace steps, led back to you
All the roads would lead me back to you
Emphasizing a destined connection despite efforts
Time has always had its own rules
Time operates independently, waiting for a lasting connection
Waited all these years to feel like forever
Long wait for a relationship to feel eternal
And you said "People suck and that's why
Partner expresses a cynical view of people
You and I need to always be together"
Commitment based on mutual avoidance of societal flaws
Tell me something that feels crazy
Seeking an unconventional or intense experience
You know that I like when you get dramatic
Appreciation for dramatic expressions from the partner
Just like you like it when I call you baby
Reciprocal enjoyment of endearing terms
Even though in bed Im the one crying
Contrast between external confidence and internal vulnerability
And even though I try to hide it
Efforts to conceal emotional struggles
You can always tell when I get excited
Partner's ability to perceive excitement
When you say "I like you and this time
Reassurance and commitment to emotional transparency
I'm not gonna even want to try and hide it"
Anticipation of genuine emotions being openly expressed
I'm usually scared of falling
Typical fear of vulnerability in relationships
When I don't know where I'll land
Willingness to take risks for the sake of connection
But I'll take the risk just hold my hand
Emphasis on actions over explicit verbal expressions
We don't have to say the words
Acknowledgment of unspoken understanding between partners
That we both know we're thinking
Recognition of shared thoughts without verbalizing them
I can hear between the lines
Ability to perceive unspoken emotions in communicated art
Of all the songs you play me
Associating sentimental value with shared music
It might sound stupid, I can't help it
Admission of vulnerability in expressing emotions
You fill me in all the right spaces
Feeling completeness and fulfillment in the relationship
Nothing lasts, and time goes fast
Acknowledgment of impermanence and swift passage of time
And Id rather waste mine with you
Preference for spending time with the partner despite transience
