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
