Lyrics

Well I think the time has come

Expressing the belief that it's time to communicate feelings about everything.

To tell you how I feel about everything

Referencing the internal thoughts and emotions held over time.

That's been inside my mind

Reflecting on thoughts that have been on the mind since a significant moment.

Since the day we crossed

Recalling the point when a transition occurred into a challenging or surreal reality.

The line into this real life fantasy

Describing the blend of real life and fantasy that has been experienced.

'Cause I poured my heart into

Investing emotions and effort into a significant period of time.

The last 3 years of wondering

Expressing uncertainty and contemplation over the past three years.

What I should do

Questioning what actions should be taken in a particular situation.

Should I cash the check

Considering the option of accepting a reward and abandoning previous beliefs.

And trade in what I thought I knew

Contemplating whether to accept change and leave behind familiar knowledge.

Your promises don't help to make it easier

Acknowledging that promises made do not alleviate the decision-making process.


'Cause the last thing that I need is somebody like you

Rejecting the idea of needing someone with a certain attitude or behavior.

To push me around and tell me what to do

Resisting being controlled or directed by someone else.

I know there's a time and place where you can call the shots

Acknowledging that there are appropriate times for authority, but it's not the present moment.

But it't not here

Emphasizing that the current situation is not the appropriate time for external influence.


'Cause I poured my heart into

Reiterating the emotional investment over the past three years.

The last 3 years of wondering

Reflecting on the ongoing uncertainty and decision-making process.

What I should do

Revisiting the question of accepting change and abandoning previous knowledge.

Should I cash the check

Reconsidering the option of cashing in on an opportunity.

And trade in what I thought I knew

Contemplating the trade-off between security and embracing the unknown.

Your promises don't help to make it easier

Highlighting that promises alone do not simplify the decision.


Because the last thing that I need is somebody like you

Reaffirming the rejection of a controlling and directive individual.

To push me around and tell me what to do

Resisting external pressure to conform to someone else's wishes.

I know there's a time and place where you can call the shots

Acknowledging appropriate contexts for authority but asserting it's not applicable here.

But it't not here


'Cause I think this whole life is just overrated

Expressing a general discontent with life, considering it to be overrated.

This whole life is too complicated

Stating that life is perceived as excessively complicated.

This whole life is just overrated now

This whole life is just overrated

This whole life is just overrated now

I don't remember what you said to me that night

Unable to recall a significant conversation and resorting to signing a commitment.

So I just signed the dotted line

Accepting a decision without full understanding due to forgetfulness.


'Cause now I find out this whole life is just overrated

Reiterating the dissatisfaction with life, emphasizing it as overrated.

This whole life is too complicated

Echoing the sentiment that life is excessively complicated.
