Lyrics
I am uncertain sometimes
Expressing uncertainty about self-placement in certain situations.
If I'm ahead or i am behind
Uncertainty about being ahead or behind in life's progression.
if I'm a fool or I'm too wise
Questioning whether one is foolish or excessively wise.
for my own good
Questioning actions being beneficial or detrimental.
sometimes the things that I like
Mentioning personal preferences that might lead to trouble.
like smoking cigarettes and drinking wine
Specifically mentioning smoking and drinking as liked activities.
get me in trouble with the ones I love
Expressing how these preferences cause issues with loved ones.
Like my baby, and my friends who say
Referring to the opinions of close individuals regarding behavior.
I think you drink too much
Others' perception of excessive drinking.
Oh I think you dance too much
Criticism of excessive dancing as perceived by others.
Oh and you're too serious
Others' critique of being overly serious.
And that much is true
Confirming the truth in others' observations.
There is a place in my head
Mentioning a mental space causing inner turmoil.
it runs me ragged while I lie in bed
Inner conflict leading to restlessness while lying in bed.
It keeps me wonderin if I'm any fun
Questioning personal ability to be fun or good.
or I'm any good
Uncertainty about personal worth.
There is a place in my heart
Referencing an emotional space causing internal struggle.
It tried pulling away but it pulled me apart
Describing a struggle to detach from an emotional space causing pain.
So I keep it locked up tight even I
Keeping emotional turmoil concealed out of fear.
don't dare to look in, for fear I'll say
Fear of confronting inner emotional turmoil.
I think you drink too much
Reiteration of others' criticism regarding excessive drinking.
Oh I think you dance too much
Repeating criticism of excessive dancing as perceived by others.
Oh and you're too serious
Continued criticism of being overly serious from others.
And that much is true
Affirmation of the truth in others' opinions.
Oh I think I'm just too much for you
Feeling overwhelming for others due to self-perceived traits.
And it's okay to feel that way
Acceptance of feeling overwhelming and being okay with it.
I feel that way, about my baby
Relating to feeling overwhelmed about personal relationships.
and my friends who say
Reiteration of others' criticism regarding drinking, dancing, and seriousness.
I think you drink too much
Repeated perception of excessive drinking by others.
Oh I think you dance too much
Continued criticism of excessive dancing as seen by others.
Oh and you're too serious
Reiteration of others' critique of being overly serious.
And that much is true
Reaffirmation of the truth in others' judgments.
Oh I think you drink too much
Reiteration of others' perception of excessive drinking.
Oh I think you dance too much
Reiteration of others' criticism of excessive dancing.
Oh and you're not serious enough
Critique about not being serious enough, differing from others' opinions.
And that much is true
Acknowledgment of the truth in the differing perception of seriousness.
Oh I think I'm just too much for you
Feeling too overwhelming for others and oneself.
Oh I think I'm just too much for me too
Self-awareness of being overwhelming for personal self-perception.
