Lyrics
Baby I know you barely know me
Expressing awareness that the speaker and the subject have limited acquaintance.
But I can't let you feel alone
Conveying a reluctance to let the subject feel lonely or isolated.
We've only seen our lives in photographs online
Reflecting on the experience of observing life through digital images on the internet.
I pick up my phone and I see your name
Noticing the subject's name on the phone, indicating a desire to communicate.
My fingers are typing nearly ready to aim
Preparing to send a message, with fingers poised for action.
Then I hit send I hate playing this game
Expressing dislike for the game of emotional uncertainty or romantic pursuit.
It's three AM but I have you to blame
Feeling a sense of responsibility or blame for the late-night interaction.
For losing sleep
Attributing loss of sleep to the influence of the subject.
My mind was at peace
Acknowledging a prior state of mental peace disrupted by the subject's arrival.
But you swept in so suddenly and now, I wont hold you
Deciding not to hold onto the subject, possibly due to external factors.
I'm partly to blame I just wish that I told you
Taking partial responsibility for the situation and expressing a desire for honesty.
How I felt
Wishing to have communicated feelings earlier.
A whole lot sooner
Desiring a faster expression of emotions or intentions.
Times getting wasted should I call you an uber
Contemplating practical actions like calling an Uber to avoid wasting time.
Or I could just sit here and write songs on my computer
Considering an alternative of using time to create music on a computer.
Or maybe I should just miss my shot
Entertaining the idea of missing an opportunity and dealing with potential regret.
And feel like less of a loser
Weighing the consequences of actions on personal perception.
Baby I know you barely know me
Reiterating the limited familiarity between the speaker and the subject.
But I can't let you feel alone
Repeating the sentiment of not wanting the subject to feel isolated.
We've only seen our lives in photographs online
Revisiting the theme of experiencing life through online images.
I pick up my phone and I see your name
Observing the subject's name again on the phone, signaling a recurring desire to connect.
My fingers are typing nearly ready to aim
Repeating the anticipation of sending a message.
Then I hit send I hate playing this game
Expressing frustration with the emotional game at the late hour.
It's three AM but I have you to blame
Acknowledging the late-night timing and attributing it to the subject.
