Lyrics
There have been many times
Reflecting on various instances in the past
I could not escape your eyes
Feeling unable to avoid your gaze
I'll never quite understand
Expressing a lack of complete comprehension
How you need me, then you leave me
Not understanding the inconsistency of needing and leaving
(chorus)
Introduction of the chorus
Everybody's movin' and nobody's callin'
Observing people moving without communication
I don't wanna be here, be alone
Desire to avoid being alone
You said it wasn't worth it
Recalling a statement that it's not worthwhile
I know I don't deserve this
Acknowledging a sense of undeservingness
I don't wanna be here, be alone
Reiterating a reluctance to be alone
there have been many times
Reflecting on multiple occasions in the past
When I see you cry then turn and cry
Witnessing tears and the emotional turmoil
I'll never quite understand
Expressing an ongoing lack of full understanding
If you need me, love me, leave me
Confusion about the fluctuating emotions of needing, loving, and leaving
chorus x2
Repetition of the chorus
everybody's moving away
Noticing a general trend of people moving away
Everybody's going away
Emphasizing the departure of everyone
Everybody's moving away
Repeating the observation of people moving away
Everybody's going away
Reiterating the theme of everyone leaving
chorus x2
Repetition of the chorus
everybody's moving away
Observing a continued trend of people moving away
Everybody's going away
Reiterating the persistent theme of everyone going away
