Lyrics
When the sun dies young and night forever situates, knees go numb now come over and walk to me
Expressing a sense of despair as the sun symbolizes hope or life, and its premature death signifies a bleak situation; urging someone to approach despite difficulties.
When the evening comes and time never disintegrates, teeth bite thumbs, you can't help but walk to me
Highlighting the persistence of time and the inevitability of facing challenges; using physical actions like biting thumbs to emphasize the irresistible pull towards the speaker.
I know that you're the one, karma won't insinuate, unless it wants to meet my gun just walk to me
Affirmation of a strong connection, suggesting that external forces like karma won't deter the bond; using provocative language like "meet my gun" to signify determination.
Stick it up like gum, my ideals just can't mitigate, never could've seen it coming, walk to me
Metaphorically comparing ideals to gum, emphasizing their sticky nature and the inability to easily discard them; acknowledging the unexpected nature of certain events.
Left right left right, pick up the pace
Encouraging a rhythmic movement, possibly marching, to pick up the pace and continue forward.
I'm still trying to walk with you back to my place

But I can't see you coming, you're not into loving, the water is bubbling and evaporates

Turned the heat up too high with too small of a pan, and the plan felt off-kilter when you turned to him
Metaphorically referencing a cooking mishap to describe a flawed plan, potentially involving another person; a shift in focus towards someone else.
And I stand in the sun with my glasses that dim all the strobes that I'd see if I'd not turned my chin
Being in the sun with dimmed glasses, metaphorically representing a distorted view of reality; regret over not seeing certain signs.
So you walked to him
Acknowledging the other person's choice to walk away despite the speaker's efforts.
And the days become a nighttime, a symphony of my sorrowed gaze, I'll walk to you
Describing a transition from day to night symbolizing emotional darkness; expressing a commitment to continue pursuing the other person.
On display my mixed arrays of the mess I made, self-influenced haze, I'll walk to you
Displaying personal flaws and the impact on the relationship; a self-reflective acknowledgment of mistakes.
Counting up the ways my soul could save the stress I may lock my door and pray I'll walk to you
Contemplating ways to alleviate stress and salvage the relationship; resorting to prayer as a possible solution.
And the doubt that gave way to my tarnished ways, shoved me down the drain I'll walk to you

What am I to do

Fuck a break

I'm upset cause I fell for it, I walk alone

I don't need you to play my strings, I'm just a puppet and you'll never let me grow my wings I walk alone
Rejecting external control and acknowledging a lack of autonomy, using the metaphor of being a puppet unable to grow wings.
You make a fool of my heart, glimpses in the dark of a world I got my start I walk alone
Accusing the other person of making a mockery of the speaker's emotions and reminiscing about a past, possibly more innocent, self.
Well I guess it's shame on me, it's clear to see that I don't let go easily, I'm walkin home
Taking responsibility for the situation, admitting vulnerability, and expressing difficulty in letting go; metaphorically walking home alone.
But I'll walk you home
