Lyrics
Slowing my tread
Expressing a deliberate slowing down of movement.
Driving these streets
Navigating through the streets, possibly metaphorical for life's journey.
Green lights turn red
Encountering obstacles or challenges represented by changing traffic lights.
But I'm caught in between
Feeling caught or stuck in a difficult situation.
All the things I could've said to you yesterday
Reflecting on missed opportunities to communicate in the past.
Wondering if your head and your heart
Questioning if emotions and thoughts were ever aligned.
Were ever in the same place
Suggesting a disconnect between head and heart.
But I'm slipping out, sleeping in, signing off
Choosing to detach or withdraw, possibly from a relationship.
Moving up all the plans I have
Reordering and advancing personal plans.
Going fast, getting on, growing up
Embracing a fast-paced life and maturing.
Moving on like I know you can't
Moving forward, acknowledging the other person may struggle to do the same.
Like I know you can't
Reiteration of the theme of moving on while recognizing the other's difficulty in doing so.
Like I know you can't
-Like I know you can't
-Moving on like I know you can't
-Listening to frank
Listening to someone named Frank, possibly for solace or guidance.
Not watching the time
Not paying attention to the passage of time.
Sitting with friends
Socializing with friends, despite the other person's disapproval.
That you wouldn't like
Choosing friends that the other person wouldn't approve of.
All the times that I gave you what you want
Recalling instances of meeting the other person's desires.
Wondering if you knew I felt
Wondering if the other person perceived the speaker authentically.
Like someone I'm not
Feeling like someone different from one's true self.
But I'm slipping out, sleeping in, signing off
Reiterating the theme of detachment and personal growth.
Moving up all the plans I have
-Going fast, getting on, growing up
-Moving on like I know you can't
-Like I know you can't
Repetition emphasizing the struggle between moving on and meeting expectations.
Like I know you can't
-Like I know you can't
-All the times that I gave you what you want
-Wondering if you knew I felt
Reflecting on past gestures and the possibility of the other person understanding emotions.
Like someone im not
Acknowledging a perceived discrepancy between the true self and the presented self.
Hey
A brief interjection, possibly signaling a shift in tone or emotion.
But I'm slipping out, sleeping in, signing off
Repeating the pattern of detachment and personal growth.
Moving up all the plans I have
-Going fast, getting on, growing up
-Moving on like I know you can't
-Like I know you can't
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle of moving forward while recognizing the other person's limitations.
Like I know you can't
-Like I know you can't
-Moving on like I know you can't
