Lyrics

And I got my faults

The speaker acknowledges their imperfections.

But I'll be honest that I don't know

The speaker admits to uncertainty about their current situation.

What I'm doing out here tonight

Expresses confusion or lack of direction in the present moment.

But no I really can't take much more

Feeling overwhelmed and unable to endure more of the current circumstances.

And I'll be here tomorrow night girl

Plans or intends to be present again the following night.

Would rather dive into our own world

Prefers to immerse themselves in a private world with someone special.

I know I come on too strong

Aware of coming on too strong or assertively in their approach.

But oh I can't handle what I've been told

Struggling to cope with information or experiences received.

La da da, la da da dah

Vocalization indicating a lack of words or filler sounds.

La da da, la da da dah

Continuation of vocalization, expressing a similar sentiment.

She said, "We're already in this crowded room, let's not leave too soon"

Dialogue with another person at the crowded gathering.

But I'm caught up on something right now

Feeling preoccupied or distracted by something specific.

I guess it's just your perfume

Attributing feelings to the scent of the other person.

And are you leaving or are you staying?

Uncertainty about the other person's departure or stay.

Whatever choice I guess is great, then

Indifference towards the choices the other person makes.

And maybe I'm just a fool

Reflection on the possibility of being naive or foolish.

I guess it's fun to be someone new

Finding enjoyment in assuming a different identity or persona.

La da da, la da da dah

Reiteration of vocalization indicating a lack of words or filler sounds.

La da da, la da da dah

Continuation of vocalization, expressing a similar sentiment.

And wouldn't it be lovely?

Expresses a desire for a beautiful or ideal situation.

Shouldn't we be more than just acquaintances in public?

Suggests a wish for a deeper connection beyond superficial interactions in public.

We're just some school kids

Identifies themselves and others as individuals in a learning stage or metaphorically, as inexperienced.

And wouldn't it be lovely?

Reiteration of a desire for an ideal situation.

Couldn't this be more than just three questions at some party?

Desire for a deeper conversation or connection beyond surface-level questions at a party.

You know I try to, but really don't say thing I don't mean

Expresses an attempt to speak sincerely.

We're just some school kids

Reiteration of identifying as individuals in a learning stage.

So let's act like it

Suggests behaving in a manner aligned with their stage of life as "school kids."

We're just some school kids

Reiteration of the suggestion to behave in accordance with their age or stage.

So let's act like it (two, three, four)

Continuation and emphasis on behaving as "school kids."

La da da, la da da dah

Reiteration of vocalization indicating a lack of words or filler sounds.

La da da, la da da dah

Continuation of vocalization, expressing a similar sentiment.
