Lyrics
I wish I could make it back to Allentown
I desire to return to Allentown.
Maybe I can get someone to show me around
Possibly someone can guide me around when I go back.
You were right, I was wrong
Acknowledging a mistake, admitting wrong.
I've been this way for far too long
Expressing a prolonged period of being in a certain state.
You hate me, I love you
Conflicting emotions in a relationship: hatred from the other, love from the speaker.
Show me a place where I belong
Seeking a place where the speaker feels they fit or belong.
I wish I could make it back to Allentown
Reiteration of the desire to return to Allentown.
Maybe I can get someone to push me around
Exploring the possibility of being influenced or guided by someone upon return.
You were right, I was wrong
Repeating acknowledgment of a mistake.
I've been this way for far too long
Reiterating a prolonged period of being in a certain state.
You hate me, I love you
Continuation of conflicting emotions in the relationship.
Show me a place where I belong
Continued search for a place of belonging.
You don't matter as much as you think
Downplaying the importance of someone's opinions or existence.
Or much at all
Emphasizing the insignificance of the person mentioned.
And when you become extinct
Anticipating the person's decline or disappearance.
I'll watch you fall
Observing the expected downfall of the mentioned person.
I wish I could make it back to Allentown
Reiteration of the desire to return to Allentown.
Maybe I can get someone to push you around
Exploring the possibility of someone else exerting influence upon return.
You were right, I was wrong
Acknowledgment of being in the wrong, admitting a mistake.
I've been this way for far too long
Expressing a prolonged period of being in a certain state.
You hate me, I love you
Continuation of conflicting emotions in the relationship.
Show me a place where I belong
Continued search for a place of belonging.
