Hurts Just a Little Bit
City Lights and Compromises: Carmody Road's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Moved to the city to get away from all that's holding you back
Moved to the city to escape hindrances or limitations.
But now you're kinda feeling like it's all just a heart attack
Feels overwhelmed or stressed, as if facing a sudden emotional crisis.
I'm wondering what you're thinking, do the city lights blind your eyes?
Curious about the impact of city lights on one's perspective.
Now everybody's talking, does it really come as a surprise?
People are talking; questioning if it's unexpected or surprising.
Take back all you said to me that night
Request to retract previous statements from a specific night.
One fight, some spite doesn't make it right
Acknowledges a past conflict, but asserts that negativity doesn't justify it.
You come 'round here fix it up despite
Encouragement to address and repair the relationship despite difficulties.
Hurts just a little bit
Expresses that the pain is only a little but still present.
Take it back now all that you said when you realised
Advocates taking back words when realizing the situation isn't what was desired.
That this ain't what you wanted, so now you really gotta compromise
Recognition of the need to make compromises in the current circumstance.
Still wondering what you're dreaming of, is it me when you close your eyes?
Ponders about what the person dreams of, specifically if they're part of those dreams.
Now everybody's talking, does it really come as a surprise?
Similar to line 4, questioning the surprising nature of discussions about the situation.
Take back all you said to me that night
Reiteration of retracting statements from a specific night.
One fight, some spite doesn't make it right
Reemphasizes that conflicts and negativity don't justify past actions.
You come 'round here fix it up despite
Encouragement to fix and improve the relationship despite challenges.
Hurts just a little bit
Reiterates that the emotional pain is only a little but still present.
Take back all you said to me that night
Continuation of the plea to retract statements from a specific night.
One fight, some spite doesn't make it right
Reiterates the idea that conflicts and spite don't justify past actions.
You come 'round here fix it up despite
Encouragement to continue efforts to fix the relationship despite difficulties.
Hurts just a little bit
Reiterates that the emotional pain is only a little but still present.
