Lyrics
Does it show again
Expressing concern about whether emotions are visibly evident
I cannot seem to pretend
Unable to fake feelings or pretend
Wearing it on the outside
Being transparent and open about emotions
Got my heart on the sleeve
Metaphorically having emotions exposed and vulnerable
Don't want it to leave my body
Desire for emotions to stay with oneself
So I'm holding on
Clutching onto emotions tightly
Tight as glue
Using glue as a metaphor for holding onto emotions strongly
Got my green eyes on you
Expressing focus and attention on a specific person
Got my green eyes on you
-Sleepless I wander
Being unable to sleep, metaphorically wandering through challenges
The streets of redemption
Roaming through difficult situations seeking redemption
Looking for a way
Searching for a solution or direction
To get your attention
Seeking acknowledgment or notice from someone
What will it take for you
Questioning what it takes to gain attention
To notice me
Desiring recognition beyond being a fleeting temptation
See me more than
Wanting to be seen as more than just a passing desire
Just a crazy temptation
-Got my heart on the sleeve
Reiterating the vulnerability of exposing emotions
Got my heart on the sleeve
-Stalking the streets
Symbolizing restlessness and inability to find peace
Unable to find peace
Persistent search for emotional tranquility
Looking for a lover
Expressing a longing for a romantic connection
Someone to hold me tight
-Until the night is over
Desire for emotional comfort until the end of the night
Like the day before
Reflecting on repetitive experiences
I'm trying to ignore
Attempting to overlook or disregard certain emotions
That I want more
Admitting a desire for more in a relationship
I want more
-Sleepless I wander
Repetition of the theme of seeking attention and recognition
The streets of redemption
-Looking for a way
-To get your attention
-What will it take for you
-To notice me
-See me more than
-Just a crazy temptation
-Got my heart on the sleeve
Re-emphasizing the exposed nature of emotions
Got my heart on the sleeve
-The agony
Describing internal emotional struggle ready to be expressed
Building up inside of me
-Ready to be released
-Too late for you to flee
Acknowledging a point of no return
Better say pretty please
Playfully requesting assistance
Oh help me baby
Expressing vulnerability and a plea for help
Help me baby
-Sleepless I wander
Reiteration of the theme of seeking attention and recognition
The streets of redemption
-Looking for a way
-To get your attention
-What will it take for you
-To notice me
-See me more than
-Just a crazy temptation
-Got my heart on the sleeve
Repeated emphasis on the exposed nature of emotions
Got my heart on the sleeve
-Got my heart on the sleeve
-Got my heart on the sleeve
Final repetition emphasizing emotional vulnerability
