Lyrics

You came out of nowhere

You appeared unexpectedly or suddenly.

But who could you hold wild horse unstable

Describing the person as unpredictable, like a wild and uncontrollable horse.

Do you still do as you're told

Asking if the person still follows instructions or rules.

Think you're wild and you're free now

Believing oneself to be unrestrained and liberated now.

Think you can cover me, well save yourself

Challenging the person's ability to provide protection; advising them to prioritize self-preservation.

Pretend like you don't do what you're told

Suggesting that the person pretends not to follow instructions.

Come around, let me in

Inviting the person to come closer and open up.

How can I talk you down from that ledge

Expressing concern about the person being on the edge and seeking a way to communicate and help.

Unless you let me in?

Emphasizing the need for the person to allow emotional intimacy in order to be assisted.

You heard when I called you

Acknowledging that the person heard the call but still lost their path or direction.

But you still lost your way

Addressing the person's sense of direction or purpose being lost despite hearing the call.

Are you able

Questioning if the person possesses the capability to follow instructions.

To do just what you're told?

Asking if the person can conform to expectations and guidance.

Taught me to trust now

Referencing a past lesson about trust but noting a lack of faith in the person.

Yet you have no faith

Highlighting a contradiction where trust was taught, but the person lacks self-belief.

In yourself

Encouraging self-confidence and belief in one's abilities.

Why can't you believe in what you know?

Questioning the person's disbelief in their own knowledge or capabilities.


Come around (darling)

Reiterating the invitation for the person to come closer and open up emotionally.

Let me in

Asking how to help the person in a difficult situation and emphasizing the need for openness.

How can I talk you down from that ledge

Expressing concern about the person being on the edge and needing assistance.

Unless you let me in?

Reiterating the importance of the person allowing emotional closeness for support.

How can I talk you down unless you come around,

Stressing the difficulty of helping unless the person comes closer and opens up.

Come around, come around?

Repeatedly urging the person to come around and seek assistance.

Come around, darling

Continuing the invitation for the person to come closer and be emotionally vulnerable.

Let me in

Reiterating the desire for the person to allow emotional intimacy for support.

How can I talk you down from that ledge

Expressing concern about the person being on the edge and needing assistance.

Unless you let me in?

Emphasizing the importance of the person allowing emotional closeness for support.

Come around

Encouraging the person to come closer and seek help.

Let me in

Reiterating the invitation for the person to come closer and open up emotionally.

I'll talk you down from that ledge

Promising to provide assistance and guidance if the person allows emotional intimacy.

If you let me in, lovely

Continuing the promise to talk the person down from the emotional edge if they allow closeness.
