Lyrics
Well at least can't you
Expressing a desire for attention or acknowledgment.
Look at me when I'm speaking to you?
Requesting direct eye contact during communication.
Because there are things I've got to say
Implying the speaker has important things to communicate.
Well what was he sneaking to you
Suggesting suspicion about someone else's actions.
When you thought I'd looked away?
Noticing a moment when attention was diverted.
I get it, I get it
Acknowledging comprehension of the situation.
Now I understand just what you're playing
Understanding the motives or intentions behind actions.
I get it, I get it
Reiterating comprehension and readiness to proceed.
I guess there isn't any point delaying
Accepting the inevitability of addressing the issue.
You would rather that I wasn't here
Perceiving a desire for the speaker's absence.
You don't have to say a word, it's crystal clear
Noting that the unspoken message is evident.
You bought him presents with my money
Accusing the other person of using the speaker's money for gifts.
That makes me feel just great, although
Expressing sarcasm about the situation.
I've got to say that it is kind of funny
Finding humor in the irony of the situation.
That you could think I'd never know
Expressing disbelief at the other person's assumption of secrecy.
I get it, I get it
Repeating understanding of the situation.
It was just another way of saying
Recognizing that the situation was a subtle rejection.
I get it, I get it
Confirming the realization of the rejection.
That you really didn't want me staying
Acknowledging the lack of desire for the speaker's presence.
Oh I bet you just wish that I'd disappear
Speculating on the other person's wish for the speaker to leave.
You don't have to say a word, it's crystal clear
Reiterating the obviousness of the unspoken message.
Lying in my bed
Describing the setting of lying in bed.
You remember when
Recalling a shared memory of togetherness.
It was you who said
Quoting a past assurance of staying together.
That we'd never be apart again
Contrasting the past promise with the current situation.
But now the longer that I hang around
Observing increasing discomfort with the speaker's presence.
The more anxious that you get
Implying tension and unease in the relationship.
Oh it looks like Romeo has found
Referencing a classic romantic tragedy.
A nervous Juliet
Comparing the relationship to a nervous and uncertain love story.
Because you would rather that I wasn't here
Noting a desire for the speaker's absence.
You don't have to say a word, it's crystal clear
Emphasizing the clarity of the unspoken message.
Oh I bet you just wish that I'd disappear
Reiterating the speculated desire for the speaker to leave.
You don't have to say a word, it's crystal clear
Affirming the evident unspoken message.
