Lyrics

I don't think you know

I doubt that you have awareness or understanding

I don't think you know

Reiteration of the doubt about the other person's understanding

Where you wanna go

You're uncertain about your destination or goals

There's a map in your heart

Your emotions and desires are a guide (map) within you

But the map in your head is telling you no

Contrast between heart and head, suggesting internal conflict

Wave to the crowd lime light lights out

Transition to a performance or public appearance, but with lights off

Cuz the thoughts in your head

Your thoughts are on the verge of being expressed

Are on the tip of your tongue now

The internal thoughts are now at the forefront of your mind


And tell me what should I say?

Seeking guidance on what to say in a situation

And what do I do?

Uncertainty about the appropriate actions to take

And tell me what should I say?

Reiteration of seeking advice on what to say

And what do I do?

Reiteration of uncertainty about the appropriate actions


You say the words inside the back of my mind

Someone is expressing words that are deep within their thoughts

You're the voice I hear when I feel fine

This person is a comforting presence during positive moments

If I know what's right you know I'll try

A commitment to doing what is right, even if it's challenging

It's lonely at the bottom where we lie

Expressing the difficulty and isolation in challenging situations


I don't think you wanna be

Doubt about the other person's desired identity or path

What you wanna be oh no

Concern that the person is not pursuing their true desires

There's a map in your head

Internal conflict between head and heart continues

But your heart makes you emotional

Emotions play a role in decision-making, creating a struggle


And tell me what should I say?

Continued seeking of guidance on what to say in a situation

And what do I do?

Continued uncertainty about the appropriate actions


You say the words inside the back of my mind

Reiteration of someone expressing deep-seated thoughts

You're the voice I hear when I feel fine

The person is a comforting presence during positive moments

If I know what's right you know I'll try

Commitment to doing what is right, with a willingness to try

It's lonely at the bottom where we lie

Emphasizing the challenges and isolation in difficult situations
