Lyrics
Me, I'm just running wild
Expressing a sense of carefree and uncontrolled behavior.
Can't give you the advice you need this time
Unable to provide the needed guidance or advice in the current situation.
You say of her, you can't decide
Indecisive about the person referred to as "her."
And yet you sit and watch her cry
Observing someone cry despite the indecision.
Friend you're like the wind that blows
Comparing the friend to the unpredictable and fleeting nature of the wind.
Like the sea you come and go
Analogizing the friend to the unpredictable and ever-changing sea.
I'm not trying to tell you
Clarifying that there's no intention to dictate how things should be.
How I think that it should be
Acknowledging an understanding of the friend's desire for freedom.
'cause I know deep down inside
Recognizing an internal conflict and yearning for freedom.
That you're yearning to be free
Emphasizing a self-centered focus on one's own interests.
And you're only gonna think of No 1.
Stating the inevitable prioritization of oneself.
So what am I to say
Pondering what advice or words to offer in this situation.
No matter what you do you're gonna hurt her anyway
Regardless of actions, knowing that someone will be hurt.
When you know that your love has died
Acknowledging the realization that love has faded or ended.
And you know how you feel inside
Being aware of one's internal emotions during this realization.
You've got to face up and show
Encouraging to confront and reveal true feelings.
What you're feeling when you know
Expressing the importance of honesty when one recognizes the emotions.
Your parting words will be so untrue
Anticipating insincere or dishonest parting words.
Just as long as it don't come down on you
As long as the consequences don't affect oneself negatively.
And you're scared to lay it on the line
Fearful of being honest and straightforward about feelings.
Just in case you change your mind
Avoiding commitment in expressing emotions, leaving room for change of mind.
I'm not trying to tell you
Reiterating the lack of intent to dictate how things should unfold.
How I think that it should be
Understanding the inner conflict and desire for freedom in the friend.
'cause I know deep down inside
Reiterating the recognition of the friend's yearning for freedom.
That you're yearning to be free
Highlighting the self-centered focus on one's own interests.
And you're only gonna think of No 1.
Restating the inevitability of prioritizing oneself.
