Lyrics
I get obsessive when I find someone I like
I become fixated when I discover someone I am interested in
oh I need to have em yeah it's a problem oh yeah
Expressing a need to possess the person, acknowledging it as a problem
cause I'm too shy here got tongue I tend to bite
Feeling too shy and tongue-tied in the person's presence
So I just imagine, it's a dumb distraction oh yeah
Using imagination as a distraction from the shyness
Go couple months of pining over
Describing a period of pining, building expectations, and the eventual realization of a relationship
Hoping I can get a little closer
-Build it up, in my head, take my time trying to get in
-When I do it and the wait is over
-Eyes were drunk now my mind is sober
-You coming into focus oh na na na
Expressing a realization that the person is not what was expected, preferring the idealized version
But you're not what I want
-I prefer what I made up
-You coming into focus oh na na na
-Now you're chasing with ya love
-I can't deal its way too much
-It's all too much
Feeling overwhelmed by the situation
It's all too much oh oh
-It's all too much oh oh
-You're so possessive boy that's never been my type
Describing discomfort with possessiveness and reluctance to be controlled
I'm not with the mindset that I'm here to be your puppet oh yeah
-It's such a shame you didn't live up to that hype
-But what I say I'm not down to be played
-Oo did couple months of pining over
Repeating the process of pining, building expectations, and the realization of a relationship
Hoping I could get a little closer
-Built it up, in my head, took my time trying to get in
-When I did it and the wait was over
-Eyes were drunk now my mind is sober
-You coming into focus oh na na na
Reiterating disappointment in the real person compared to the imagined one
But you're not what I want
-I prefer what I made up
-You coming into focus oh na na na
-Now you're chasing with ya love
-I can't deal its way too much
-It's all too much
Continuing to express being overwhelmed by the situation
It's all too much oh oh
-It's all too much oh oh
-It's all too much
Repeating the feeling of being overwhelmed
It's all too much
-Yeah now you're coming into focus oh na na na
-It's all too much oh oh
-You coming into focus oh na na na
Final repetition of the disappointment and the overwhelming emotions
But you're not what I want
-I prefer what I made up
-You coming into focus oh na na na
-Now you're chasing with ya love
-I can't deal its way too much
-You coming into focus
Reiterating the realization of the person coming into focus, possibly with a sense of resignation or acceptance
