Lyrics

I don't wanna waste time

I have no desire to waste time.

I don't wanna stay here

I don't want to remain in the current situation or place.

Deciding whether we should stay or leave baby

Contemplating whether we should stay or leave, baby.

Why you wanna go now?

Questioning the reason for wanting to leave now.

I don't wanna go now

I have no desire to leave now.

Even though our friends are gone

Despite the absence of our friends and the lights being on.

And the lights are on


You keep saying nobody cares if I'm here except me

Expressing a feeling of being unnoticed, except by oneself.

Well baby, that's enough

Assuring that self-awareness is sufficient.

I don't wanna let go

Reluctance to let go of something or someone.

People they get so old

Observation about people aging.

I hate when people say "those were the days"

Dislike for the phrase "those were the days."

Well what are these then?

Raising a question about the present compared to the past.


I really should have stayed home

Regret about not staying at home.

So many people I don't really know anymore

Feeling disconnected from many people.

And I got nothing to say but I don't know

Lack of things to say, feeling bored.

I just get so bored

Expressing boredom.


Over and over I get impatient and angry

Recurring impatience and anger, especially when feeling vulnerable.

When I feel like I've gone soft

Expressing frustration when feeling mentally weak.

It's such a drag, I just get dumber and dumber

Frustration with feeling increasingly unintelligent.

I can't talk, I can't talk.

Difficulty in communicating, feeling speechless.


I don't wanna let go

Reluctance to let go despite the absence of friends and music.

Even though my friends are gone and the music's off

Reiterating the reluctance even with the absence of external stimuli.

You keep saying nobody cares if I'm here except me

Repeating the feeling of being unnoticed, emphasizing self-sufficiency.

Well baby that's enough

Affirming that self-awareness is enough.
