Lyrics
I'm driving to your house
Heading to your residence
It's late Sunday, early Monday
Transitioning from Sunday to Monday, time-wise
I'm not sure where we are going, or how we got here
Uncertain about the direction or progression of the relationship and how it reached this point
Why are we back here?
Questioning the return to this situation or place
But maybe you and me, we're exactly what we need
Suggesting that both individuals might fulfill each other's needs for the time being
To tide us over?
Possibly implying a temporary solution
I'm pulling on the reigns
Trying to restrain or control the situation
I'm pressing on the brakes
Attempting to slow down or halt the situation
When all I see is red
Feeling overwhelmed or consumed by intense emotions
Did you see this coming?
Asking if the other person anticipated this situation
We're quiet when we sleep
Both parties are silent during sleep
There's secrets that I keep
Alluding to hidden or undisclosed information
I was always told to pay attention to details
Recalling advice about the importance of paying attention to specifics
I'm sleeping in your bed hours after we've made love
Remaining in the bed together post-intimacy
I can only hear your breath and it disrupts what I was just thinking of
The partner's breath interrupts the speaker's thoughts
I'm tempted to tell you now, all these things I think about
Feeling tempted to share personal thoughts but hesitant to disturb the partner's dreams
But I don't want to wake you from dreaming
Resisting the urge to wake the partner
Because maybe you and me, we're exactly what we need
Suggesting that the relationship might fulfill their current needs
To tide us over?
Similar to line 6, hinting at a temporary solution
I'm pulling on the reigns
Struggling to control or manage the situation
I'm pressing on the brakes
Trying to slow down or stop the situation
When all I see is red
Feeling overwhelmed or consumed by intense emotions, similar to line 10
Did you see this coming?
Repeating the question if the other person foresaw this situation
We're quiet when we sleep
Both parties remain silent during sleep, repeated from line 12
There's secrets that I keep
Reiteration of hidden or undisclosed information from line 13
I was always told to pay attention to details
Reemphasizing the importance of paying attention to specifics from line 14
I'm a disaster waiting
Feeling like a catastrophe waiting to happen
In the shallow water we wade in
Metaphorically in a vulnerable position
I'm a hole in your hull
Acting as a detriment or flaw in the partner's life
That's dragging
Being a burden or causing trouble for the partner
I'm dragging you down
Dragging the partner down, causing a negative impact
So did you pay attention to details?
Questioning if the partner paid attention to the specifics or intricacies of the situation
