Lyrics
There's this cemetery in St. Augustine
Introduces the setting of a cemetery in St. Augustine.
I haven't been inside
The speaker has not entered the cemetery.
Must be nice
Expresses a sense of detachment or indifference.
Dark hair, didn't say enough
Description of a person with dark hair who didn't communicate much.
Guess you never crossed my mind
The person never occupied the speaker's thoughts.
In the least amount
Emphasizes a minimal impact or consideration.
Believe with that mouth
Challenge to believe what is said, possibly due to dishonesty.
What you know'll get you caught somehow
Warning about the consequences of knowledge leading to exposure.
She said it so settle down
A command to calm down, perhaps in response to anxiety.
I'm steady but I'm washed out
Feeling stable but worn out.
Reset it when you walk out
Encouragement to reset when leaving.
A day and a half
Refers to a specific timeframe.
I'm saying it back to you again
Repetition of a statement, possibly significant.
You talk it through dishonestly
Criticism of talking dishonestly.
And you're constantly ignoring me
Highlighting persistent disregard or neglect.
And you're constantly ignoring me
Reiteration of being ignored consistently.
And you costed me enormously
Emphasizing a significant cost or consequence.
Just like you wanted
Comparing outcomes to what was desired.
To choose a side
Reference to making a choice or taking a stance.
Just like you told me in your new office
Recollection of instructions or statements in a new setting.
Just like you could never learn to lie
Highlighting difficulty in being truthful.
you might be right but the lighting's wrong you might be beautiful but not for long
Suggesting external factors affecting perception of beauty.
You could come inside,
Invitation or inquiry into someone's reluctance.
What are you hiding from?
Questioning what is being concealed.
Less indecision and patience
Advocating for clearer decision-making and patience.
Your back's up against the wall
A challenging situation where options are limited.
But you faulted me yeah
Accusing someone of a mistake or failure.
You faulted me again
Reiteration of blaming someone for a failure.
And you're calling all the
Attribution of continuous control or influence.
Shots that never end
Feeling dominated or controlled indefinitely.
Don't wanna look down,
Reluctance to confront a challenging situation.
never wanna look down
Avoidance of facing a difficult reality.
You said it first, you said it first
Recalling someone else stating a message first.
You said that all of this
Confirmation of a previous declaration.
Was just for me and I'm
Expressing gratitude for seemingly nothing.
Grateful for nothing
Negative description of a recurring unpleasant sight.
The same old disgusting sight
Desire to believe in someone's righteousness despite doubt.
But god I wanted to believe you were right you thought I wasn't the receiving type
Claiming to have given everything in a confrontational situation.
I gave you everything you give me a fight
Acknowledgment of receiving resistance or opposition.
