Hundreds and Thousands
Relationship Rollercoaster: Endless Dance of Love and Conflict
Lyrics
Don’t talk to me like I’m just any guy
Expressing frustration at being treated as an ordinary person.
Don’t talk to me like this is any type of regular casual no strings attaching kinda thing And please stop bitching 'bout me to your girlfriends
Rejecting the idea of a casual and uncommitted relationship, urging the partner to stop gossiping to friends.
I’ll stop switchin’ ‘bout you to my boys and then
Committing to stop talking negatively about the partner to friends.
Maybe you’ll try for more than a day or two
Encouraging the partner to make a sustained effort in the relationship.
Then we’re like merry go round we go Who are we fooling nobody knows Different day more of the same You’re on a roll
Describing the repetitive nature of their relationship, emphasizing the lack of change.
Oh here we go
Anticipating the recurring cycle in the relationship.
So say you’re leaving
Acknowledging the possibility of a breakup.
I’ll don't leave me
Expressing a fear of abandonment.
We’ve done this hundreds and thousands of times before (hundreds and thousands of times)
Highlighting the frequency of their arguments and issues.
So say you’re leaving
Repeating the fear of a breakup.
I’ll don’t leave me
Reiterating the fear of being left alone.
We’ve done this hundreds and thousands of times before
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of their relationship problems.
(Well) If you keep reading through all my messages
Addressing concerns about privacy and invasion of personal messages.
Then I’ll keep talking 'bout you to my relatives
Committing to discussing the partner with relatives if the invasion of privacy continues.
Why does it always gotta be eye for an eye
Questioning the tit-for-tat nature of conflicts.
Feels like you try to push my buttons cause you know what I’m like In the morning its an argument we make up at night
Describing the partner's intentional provocation and the cyclical nature of their arguments.
And we’re oh so far from perfect
Acknowledging imperfections in the relationship.
But we’re both so close to getting it right (yeah)
Expressing optimism about the potential for improvement despite current challenges.
Then we’re like merry go round we go Who are we fooling nobody knows Different day more of the same You’re on a roll
Reiterating the repetitive and predictable nature of their relationship issues.
Oh here we go
Anticipating the start of another cycle in their relationship.
So say you’re leaving
Repeating the fear of a breakup.
I’ll don’t leave me
Reiterating the plea not to be left alone.
We’ve done this hundreds and thousands of times before (hundreds and thousands of times)
Emphasizing the extensive history of their recurring problems.
So say you’re leaving
Repeating the fear of a breakup.
I’ll don’t leave me
Reiterating the plea not to be left alone.
We’ve done this hundreds and thousands of times before
Emphasizing the extensive history of their recurring problems.
Hundreds and thousands
Repeating the large number of times they have faced these issues.
And hundreds and thousands
Continuing to emphasize the high frequency of their relationship problems.
And times
Adding a temporal element to the repetition of their issues.
Hundreds and thousands and millions and trillions times
Exaggerating the astronomical number of times they have experienced relationship problems.
So say you’re leaving
Repeating the fear of a breakup.
I’ll don’t leave me
Reiterating the plea not to be left alone.
We’ve done this hundreds and thousands of times before
Emphasizing the extensive history of their recurring problems.
(hundreds and thousands of times)
Repeating the large number of times they have faced these issues.
So say you’re leaving
Repeating the fear of a breakup.
I’ll don’t leave me
Reiterating the plea not to be left alone.
We’ve done this hundreds and thousands of times before
Emphasizing the extensive history of their recurring problems.
