Loose In The Streets
Love's Descent: Navigating Heartbreak in 'Loose In The Streets'
Lyrics
We used to run around the streets last summer
We reminisce about running in the streets during the previous summer.
But now you're holding hands with another
The singer observes that their partner is now romantically involved with someone else.
I thought I was drifting smoothly on the surface
The singer thought they were navigating life smoothly until someone else entered the picture.
Until someone else came around
Another person has disrupted the singer's emotional equilibrium.
You know I don't like the way you talk about
There's dissatisfaction with the way the partner talks about something specific.
But you don't seem to care at all
Despite the singer's feelings, the partner seems indifferent.
And I know things never might be the same between us
Acknowledgment that things may never be the same between the singer and their partner.
But right now I feel like shaking (shake) things off
Expressing a current desire to shake off negative emotions.
We should be dancing all night
Suggesting that they should be dancing and enjoying life all night.
'Cuz lately I haven't been feeling alright (oh, oh, ooh)
The singer confesses to feeling unwell lately.
But baby it's alright
Despite difficulties, the singer reassures that everything will be okay.
'Cuz even though I've fallen
The singer has fallen emotionally.
Maybe I have fallen too deep
There's a realization that the emotional fall might be too deep.
I was blinded by the comfort you gave me
The singer was blinded by the comfort their partner provided.
And soon I was too deep to get up again
Being deeply involved emotionally and finding it challenging to detach.
What has been should stay in the past
Suggesting that past experiences should remain in the past.
But it's hard to let you go when we're here again (here again)
Despite the desire to move on, it's challenging when facing the same situation again.
You know I don't like the way you talk about
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with the partner's way of talking about something.
But you don't seem to care at all
Despite the feelings, the partner remains indifferent.
And I know things never might be the same between us
Recognition that things may never be the same between the singer and their partner.
But right now I feel like shaking (shake) things off

We should be dancing all night
