Lyrics

Hope I don't die inside a plane

Expressing a fear of dying in a plane crash

I'd like to die a better way

Desiring a more preferable way of death

And if I live to an old age

Contemplating the possibility of living to old age

I would've seen everything change

Acknowledging the inevitability of witnessing significant changes over time


I understand why people leave

Understanding the reasons why people choose to leave or end relationships

But leaving seems scary to me

Expressing fear and hesitation towards the idea of leaving


I think about these things too much

Experiencing overthinking about various scenarios

My mind likes to wind itself up

Describing a tendency for the mind to create unnecessary anxiety

And I don't get a lot of sleep

Difficulty in getting sufficient sleep due to worrying thoughts

'Cause what if they happen to me?

Repeating the fear of negative events happening to oneself

'Cause what if they happen to me?

-

Yeah, what if they happen to me?

-

What if my room burns down in flames

Imagining a catastrophic scenario of one's room burning down

And I die in my sleep and never wake?

Expressing the fear of dying in one's sleep without waking up


You say I shouldn't be this way

Acknowledging advice to change one's mindset or behavior

But I don't think that I can change

Expressing doubt about the possibility of changing despite advice


I think about these things too much

Reiterating excessive thinking about negative scenarios

My mind likes to wind itself up

Describing the mind's tendency to create anxiety for itself

And I don't get a lot of sleep

Experiencing sleep disturbances due to persistent worries

'Cause what if they happen to me?

Repeating the fear of negative events happening to oneself

'Cause what if they happen to me?

-

Yeah, what if they happen to me?

-

I think about these things too much

Continuing to think excessively about negative scenarios

My mind likes to wind itself up

Describing the mind's tendency to create unnecessary anxiety

And I don't get a lot of sleep

Experiencing a lack of sleep due to persistent worries

'Cause what if they happen to me?

Repeating the fear of negative events happening to oneself
