Lyrics
She says she's nervous now, she can't stand in front of me
Expressing that the speaker's companion is nervous and can't face them.
Nothing to be so tense about
Assuring the companion that there is nothing to be overly tense about.
She dreams a simple life my dreams all go overseas
Highlighting a disparity in life aspirations, with the speaker dreaming of overseas adventures.
But I guess opposites attract
Noting the attraction between the speaker and their companion despite their differences.
She just broke some bottles full of her sorrows
Describing the companion's emotional state by mentioning broken bottles symbolizing sorrows.
Live today who knows bout' tomorrow
Embracing a carefree attitude, living in the present without worrying about the future.
But I can't hurt her though can't let her too close to me
Expressing a reluctance to harm the companion but maintaining a certain emotional distance.
But I guess we'll see
Leaving the outcome open-ended, acknowledging uncertainty about the relationship.
Because it's Friday night and I'm looking for a vice
Setting the scene on a Friday night, seeking a distraction or escape.
I won't go back to what I did last week
Committing to avoiding past mistakes and behaviors.
All the noise in hear still I hear you bright and clear
Amidst the noise, the speaker can still hear the companion clearly.
It's scary how I see you
Expressing a powerful and possibly overwhelming perception of the companion.
And it's always I'm too stressed out right now but
Acknowledging the companion's stress but emphasizing the speaker's role in resolving difficulties.
I'm posed' to be the one who gets us out of these bad scenes
Feeling responsible for steering the relationship away from challenging situations.
But I can't hurt her though can't let her too close to me
Reiterating the hesitation to harm the companion emotionally while maintaining distance.
But I guess we'll see
Leaving the future of the relationship uncertain, acknowledging the complexities.
And I know I'm a mess we'll both agree but
Admitting personal flaws but emphasizing improvement when the companion is present.
I'm way less when your here right with me let the truth free
Stating that the speaker feels significantly better when the companion is around, emphasizing honesty.
All the noise in hear still I hear you bright and clear
Despite external noise, the speaker can clearly perceive the companion.
It's scary how I see you
Reiterating the intensity and possibly intimidating nature of how the speaker perceives the companion.
Once the fire all settles down
Referencing a calming down or resolution of a tumultuous situation.
Once the mind leaves from the clouds
When the mind clears, realizing a sense of being found or grounded.
Once I realized that I'm found
Expressing self-discovery and awareness of one's position or purpose.
That's when I knew I'm space bound
Realizing a sense of being bound to a particular state or condition.
They don't treat me the same, they say I've changed now I'm a new person to them
Perceiving a change in how others treat the speaker after pursuing dreams.
I guess I am to blame for following dreams, but I get the worse end of it, fact
Acknowledging personal responsibility for the consequences of chasing dreams.
Background talking smack, good thing I'm used to that
Noting background criticism but expressing resilience and familiarity with such comments.
But she was the first one to tell me not to look at that
