Lyrics
What'cha running from
Questioning the reason for someone's escape or avoidance.
Why're you singing and dancing
Asking why the person is engaging in carefree activities instead of facing a serious situation.
You should be running for your life
Suggesting that the person should be focusing on self-preservation.
And if you stick around
Indicating a willingness to offer comfort or distraction.
I'll roll you a cigarette
Promising to provide a small pleasure, like rolling a cigarette, to make the situation more bearable.
And I'll make it worth your while
Expressing a desire to make the person's time enjoyable.
I know my face ain't pretty
Acknowledging personal flaws, particularly in appearance.
And I know my posture is lacking
Admitting to a lack of confidence or a slouching posture.
But I write some shitty songs
Claiming to create songs with self-awareness of their subpar quality.
And if you break my heart
Warning that heartbreak may lead to the creation of emotionally charged, perhaps mediocre, songs.
I'll probably write a shitty song about it
Offering the listener the option to hear these songs throughout the night.
And you can listen all night long
Repeating a nonsensical refrain, possibly indicating a carefree attitude.
Na na na na na na
Continuation of the nonsensical refrain, serving as a playful element.
Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-You know it takes two to love
Stating the requirement of two individuals for love but implying that authenticity may be one-sided.
But only one has to be real
Suggesting that imaginary scenarios can be more enjoyable.
Guess it's more fun when it's in my head
Expressing a preference for romantic fantasies inside the mind.
And when it's in my head
Repeating the idea of pretending to be dead, possibly as a metaphor for emotional detachment.
I can pretend that I'm dead
-I can pretend that I'm dead
-I can pretend that I'm dead
-Being in love is a curse
Considering love a burden and not wishing it upon anyone.
And I don't wish that on anyone
Emphasizing the reluctance to burden even an attractive and music-loving individual with heartbreak.
And that means not even you
-'Cause even though you're pretty
Acknowledging the inevitability of heartbreak despite the person's attractiveness and shared interests.
And you like all my favorite bands
-Still you'll break my heart in two
-Na na na na na na
Repeating the nonsensical refrain, maintaining a playful tone.
Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-Na na na na na na
-I know I'm wasting it all
Acknowledging the squandering of opportunities but claiming contentment.
But I feel just fine
Expressing a positive emotional state due to the person being in the speaker's thoughts.
Because you're in my mind
-Because you're in my mind
-And now I have your voice
Claiming mental possession of the person and suggesting they can leave physically.
And now I have your face
-You can leave this place
-Because you're in my brain
-I love the way you smile
Complimenting the person's smile while acknowledging uncertainty about its authenticity.
Or at least what you smiling would look like
-You, me, makes three
Repeating a mantra that signifies unity and a shared plan (Plan Z) between the speaker and the person.
All together, that's plan Z
-You, me, makes three
-All together, that's plan Z
-You, me, makes three
-All together, that's plan Z
-You, me, makes three
-All together, that's plan Z
