Contagious
Contagious Desires: A Tale of Unwanted Longing
Lyrics
No I don't wanna be “that girl”
Expressing a desire not to embody a certain stereotype or image
That when I call, all your friends think it's absurd
When contacting someone, their friends find it strange or unusual
When I'm there you don’t care and I'm unheard
Feeling disregarded and unheard when present
While I'm hanging on your every single word
Describing a deep attention paid to the person's words
No I don't wanna be “that chick”
Refusing to fit a certain stereotype or role
The one you tell all your friends that it won't stick
Not wanting to be discussed negatively by someone to their friends
Won't beat around the bush, you're getting out quick
Expressing a desire for directness in ending a relationship
Oh I wish that you would cuz' it makes me sick
Feeling physically unwell due to the situation
But baby, I’m feeling weak when I see you lookin' at me
Feeling vulnerable or influenced by the person
Cuz my my, those eyes are dangerous
Describing the captivating and potentially harmful nature of the person's eyes
And I think that you're contagious
Suggesting that the person's influence is affecting
I can feel it when I breathe in
Feeling the impact of the situation when breathing
And I’m sweating, and I swear you're wearing me thin
Experiencing stress and feeling emotionally drained
Cuz this itch, swear it's outrageous
Describing the intensity of the situation as extreme
But you gotta be contagious
Suspecting that the person has an effect on others
And you don't wanna be “that guy”
Not wanting to fit a negative stereotype or role
That guy who can never stay satisfied
Describing someone who is never content
Gone and then back again and I know why
Understanding the reasons for someone's inconsistent behavior
Oh I wish that you would just say goodbye
Wishing for a definitive end to the situation
Oh you don't wanna be “that dude”
Refusing to tolerate someone with negative traits
Clogging up my ear drums with some excuse
Describing undesirable qualities in a person
Irrelevant, arrogant, bad attitude
Asking for confirmation of the person's true nature
Tell me baby please this isn’t you
Feeling vulnerable or influenced by the person
Baby, I’m feeling weak when I see you lookin' at me
-Cuz my my, those eyes are dangerous
Reiterating the captivating and potentially harmful nature of the person's eyes
And I think that you're contagious
Suggesting that the person's influence is affecting
I can feel it when I breathe in
Feeling the impact of the situation when breathing
And I’m sweating, and I swear you're wearing me thin
Experiencing stress and feeling emotionally drained
Cuz this itch, swear it's outrageous
Describing the intensity of the situation as extreme
But you gotta be contagious
Suspecting that the person has an effect on others
And I don't wanna put you on the spot
Not wanting to confront the person directly
But whether you know this or not
Implying a desire for mutual understanding
Think I want whatever you want
Expressing a desire to align desires with the person's
And I caught whatever you caught
Feeling influenced by the person's actions or emotions
But baby, I’m feeling weak when I see you lookin' at me
Feeling vulnerable or influenced by the person
Cuz my my, those eyes are dangerous
Reiterating the captivating and potentially harmful nature of the person's eyes
And I think that you're contagious
Suggesting that the person's influence is affecting
I can feel it when I breathe in
Feeling the impact of the situation when breathing
And I’m sweating, and I swear you're wearing me thin
Experiencing stress and feeling emotionally drained
Cuz this itch, swear it's outrageous
Describing the intensity of the situation as extreme
But you gotta be contagious
Suspecting that the person has an effect on others
Yeah you’re contagious
Reaffirming the belief that the person affects others
