Lyrics

Three weeks left ‘till you move away

Anticipating someone's departure in three weeks.

Couldn’t see you enough so booked you every day

Expressing a desire to spend as much time as possible with the person before they leave.

No more words that could’a made you stay

Recognizing that no words could change the decision for them to leave.

But I’m just working the courage up so I can say

Building courage to express feelings before the departure.


You’re pretty cool

Complimenting the person, acknowledging their positive qualities.

With untied shoes

Noticing a casual aspect of the person's appearance (untied shoes).

You could tie me up if you wanted to

Metaphorically expressing a willingness to be vulnerable or controlled by the person.


I’ll break my rules

Willingness to break personal rules for the person.

And change my views

Openness to change viewpoints due to feelings for the person.

If you trip me up I would fall for you

Being susceptible to falling in love if led on by the person.


Who’s this

Questioning the identity of the person, possibly due to behavior or actions.

You keep on making up excuses

Noticing a pattern of excuses made by the person.

And reasons why you gotta do this (don’t do this)

Expressing disagreement with the reasons given for leaving.

So stay right here cos I normally hate things

Contrasting the usual dislike for things with a desire for the person to stay.


I I

Reflecting on thoughts about the person consistently.

Yeah I’ve been thinking all the ti-ime

Contemplating the idea of the person staying in a romantic relationship.

Been thinking maybe you should stay mine (stay mine please)

Expressing a desire for the person to stay romantically involved.

Cos you’re pretty great and I normally hate things

Acknowledging the person's positive qualities despite the usual tendency to dislike things.


One more night ‘till you’re not around

Counting down the time until the person's absence.

You can tell all my friends I’m at the lost and found

Willingness to fabricate stories to cover emotional distress from the person's departure.

They’ve been telling me it’s not allowed

Friends advising against dwelling on the departure.

So stop pretending I’m lost and go get the hell out

Rejecting the idea of pretending to be unaffected by the departure.


I’ll chase you anywhere

Expressing a strong desire to pursue the person.

It doesn’t matter I don’t care

Being indifferent to obstacles when pursuing the person.

I’ll make my mission competition

Willingness to achieve extraordinary success for the person.

Be a multibillionaire

Aspiring to be exceptionally wealthy for the person.


If it would help at all

Asserting that any effort is worthwhile for the person.

It doesn’t matter what you call it

Emphasizing that labels or definitions don't matter in pursuit of the person.

No position or condition

Expressing unconditional commitment regardless of circumstances.

Could stop me waiting on your call

Willingness to wait for communication from the person despite circumstances.


Who’s this

Reiterating the pattern of excuses made by the person.

You keep on making up excuses

Disagreeing with the reasons provided for the person's actions.

And reasons why you gotta do this (don’t do this)

Urging the person to reconsider their actions and stay.

So stay right here cos I normally hate things

Contrasting the usual dislike for things with a plea for the person to stay.
