Lyrics
Hold me to the flame dear
Expressing a desire to be tested or challenged, possibly in a relationship.
Make me chase you through the smoke, takin shots in the dark
Describing a pursuit, navigating uncertainties while taking risks.
Is it hurtin' you to stay here
Questioning if staying in the current situation is causing pain.
Can you look me in my eyes as you watch the scales fall
Asking if the other person can face the consequences of their actions.
I'm still gon' love you till I can't stop
Committing to love despite challenges, suggesting perseverance.
Swimmin' to the bottom till I know how to breathe
Metaphorically diving deep into understanding and resolving issues.
But don't count on me to think things through
Acknowledging a lack of reliability in making thoughtful decisions.
I'm just walking to your ship in twos by two you know
Approaching a situation with someone else, possibly in pairs.
I know I'm gonna lose
Anticipating defeat or failure in the given circumstance.
Lose my mind
Expecting a loss of sanity or control.
Before I wake up
Referring to a state of consciousness before a realization or awakening.
Is there something you'd like to tell me that I don't know
Opening the door for potential revelations or hidden truths.
And leave me here to pay for all
Suggesting consequences and accountability for actions.
The cheap sensations that I owe
Acknowledging a debt or obligation related to fleeting pleasures.
Cuz I've been lookin for you now that you're on the way
Expressing a search for someone in anticipation of their arrival.
I'm searching for and thinkin' bout something to say
Contemplating and seeking conversation or something meaningful to say.
I hear the people talkin' with the looks on their faces
Observing conversations and judgments from others.
But baby let's not think too hard I want you to stay (Oh Lord)
Encouraging not overthinking and expressing a desire for the person to stay.
There's something natural
Highlighting a natural or genuine aspect of the other person's presence.
Bout you comin' over
Describing an emotional and impulsive reaction to the person coming over.
It's so irrational
Questioning the pace of the relationship and whether it should be slowed down.
Should we take it slower
Reflecting on the paradox of impulsivity and the need for caution.
Gettin' all dressed up just to take it all off
Describing a process of getting ready to reveal oneself.
Takin' calls at night as I drive you home
Connecting through conversations during a shared journey.
It's nothing old and it's nothing new how
Stating that the situation is neither entirely old nor completely new.
You always somehow find yourself in my room you know
Noting a recurring presence of the other person in the speaker's space.
I know I'm gonna lose
Reiterating the anticipation of losing control or sanity.
Lose my mind
Expecting a mental breakdown before regaining consciousness.
Before I wake up
Referencing a state of awareness before waking up.
Is there something you'd like to tell me that I don't know
Inviting disclosure of information that may be unknown to the speaker.
And leave me here to pay for all
Suggesting consequences and responsibility for actions, echoing line 13.
The cheap sensations that I owe
Acknowledging a debt or obligation related to fleeting pleasures, echoing line 14.
