Lyrics
My gut's in a knot
Feeling uneasy or anxious
Just like yours
Comparing the emotional state to the listener's
You're still cooling off
Still calming down or recovering
And I'm insecure
Expressing feelings of insecurity
I'm sleeping on my dad's couch
Literal: Sleeping on the father's couch; metaphorical: facing challenges or setbacks
Wondering when you'll finally figure it out
Contemplating when the listener will understand a situation
I know you never liked it
Acknowledging the listener's dislike for being called "mine"
When I called you mine
Recalling a past possessive claim on the listener
You say I'm overrated
Being criticized as not living up to expectations
Like it justifies
Dismissing criticism as unjustified
Your stupid songs that you write
Referencing negative songs written about the speaker
About me
Highlighting the focus of negative songs on the speaker
About me
Repetition emphasizing the impact of the songs on the speaker
They're calling the cops
Describing a situation where law enforcement is involved
I'm under arrest
Feeling accused or blamed
You're locking me up
Sense of confinement or restriction by external forces
For something I never knew that I did
Expressing confusion or lack of awareness about the alleged wrongdoing
I'm sleeping on my dad's couch
Reiteration of facing challenges or setbacks
Wondering when you'll finally figure it out
Repeating the anticipation of the listener understanding the situation
I know you never liked it
Recalling the listener's displeasure at being called "mine"
When I called you mine
Remembering past possessive claims and their negative reception
You say I'm overrated
Receiving criticism for being overvalued
Like it justifies
Rejecting the notion that criticism is justified
Your stupid songs that you write
Referring again to negative songs directed at the speaker
About me
Reemphasizing the focus of negative songs on the speaker
About me
Repetition underscoring the impact of the songs on the speaker
