Lyrics

Who is it? You again? Thought you left

Expressing surprise and questioning the return of someone.

But you never go too far

Suggesting that the person never truly leaves or stays away for long.

Remember when we overslept

Recalling a time when both overslept, possibly referencing a shared past.

That morning when our thing fell apart

Referring to a morning when their relationship fell apart or faced challenges.

But I never learn, I always lust and over trust

Acknowledging a pattern of making the same mistakes by trusting too much.

I do it to myself

Taking responsibility for self-inflicted emotional pain.

But I can't be burying these feelings

Expressing difficulty in suppressing emotions and not dealing with them.

When it's the best thing that I ever felt

Despite the emotional challenges, recognizing the depth of positive feelings.


You got my promise again

Referring to a commitment or assurance made to the person again.

You had me pining when you left

Reflecting on the emotional impact of the person's departure.

Knowing it's been ages, I'm taking it in

Acknowledging the passage of time since the separation.

Thought I was fine

Questioning one's emotional state, suggesting a struggle to cope.

Need to leave you behind

Expressing the need to move on and leave the person in the past.


Maybe by September I

Looking ahead to a future point (September) for potential healing.

Would've tried enough of other stuff to know that you weren't right

Reflecting on learning from past experiences and relationships.

But we never learn, we always lust and over trust

Highlighting the tendency to repeat mistakes of trusting too quickly.

It happens overnight

Emphasizing the sudden and unexpected nature of certain events.

I don't wanna be your enemy or something you need

Expressing a desire not to be an adversary or a mere distraction.

To pass the time

Suggesting that spending time together should have a meaningful purpose.

So excuse me if this comes as green

Apologizing for any unexpected emotions and reactions.

But sometimes I just wanna go back and rewind

Expressing a wish to revisit and relive past moments.


You got my promise again

Reiterating a commitment or promise made to the person.

You had me pining when you left

Recalling the emotional impact of the person's departure.

Knowing it's been ages, I'm taking it in

Acknowledging the passage of time since the separation.

Thought I'd be fine

Repeating the struggle to cope emotionally.

Need to leave you behind

Reiterating the need to move on and leave the person behind.

Need to leave you behind

Emphasizing the importance of distancing oneself from the past relationship.


It's been a long time

Highlighting the prolonged duration since the separation.

Same decisions I make

Acknowledging a pattern of making similar decisions that lead back to the person.

Slowly lead me back to you

Suggesting a sense of inevitability or fate in returning to the relationship.

I'm in the open

Feeling exposed or vulnerable in the open, possibly emotionally.

Lose all sense of knowing

Losing a sense of understanding or certainty in the situation.

Are you onto someone new?

Speculating if the person has moved on to someone else.

It's been a burden

Acknowledging the weight or difficulty of the emotional burden.

But the burden I'll take

Willing to bear the emotional burden for a limited time.

For a day or two, yeah

Accepting the emotional burden for a brief period, possibly for the sake of memories.

It leaves me longing for a certain moment

Expressing a longing for a specific past moment or connection.

I hear a familiar tune

Referencing familiarity in a musical tune, possibly associated with memories.
