Lyrics
Soon as I get back to normal I'll be happier than I am now
Expressing anticipation of returning to a normal state and expecting increased happiness.
I'll be the new me not the old me the plain and lonely Mr. Coldfeet
Desire for personal transformation, shedding the old self and avoiding loneliness.
If you catch me being sappy please allow me to get it out
Requesting understanding for expressing emotions, possibly sentimental ones.
I haven't cried since the last Queer Eye
Haven't cried since watching the show "Queer Eye," indicating emotional detachment.
And if I tried you'd see inside of me
Exploring vulnerability, suggesting that crying would reveal inner emotions.
To the places I don't want you to see
Resisting the revelation of certain personal aspects to others.
Well honestly it's not pretty all the things I think I see in you
Admitting unattractive thoughts about someone, acknowledging personal flaws.
But that just ain't the way that this works out
Recognizing the mismatch between expectations and reality in relationships.
Well honestly it's just greedy all the things
Expressing a sense of greediness in wanting things that fuel doubt and uncertainty.
I think I need to feel like I can tend the fire's built by doubt
Feeling the need to create challenges or conflicts to sustain a relationship.
Like a bird lost at an airport I'm confused and I am scared
Metaphorically feeling lost and frightened like a bird in an unfamiliar place.
I try to fly away and hide but they keep chasing me around the room
Attempting to escape from difficulties, but facing persistent challenges.
They say they want to help me but they tell me that this might hurt
Expressing reluctance to accept help due to the expectation of pain or difficulty.
Of all the bullshit that they fed me that's the only part I heard
Cynically acknowledging skepticism towards advice or guidance received.
Of all the bullshit that they fed me that's the only part I learned
Highlighting selective learning, focusing on negative aspects from advice received.
If I try my best the lesson is that this will always hurt
Realization that putting in the best effort may still result in enduring pain.
Well honestly it's not pretty all the things I think I see in you
Reiterating unflattering perceptions of someone, questioning the way things unfold.
But that just ain't the way that this works out
Reiterating the incongruence between expectations and reality in relationships.
Well honestly it's just greedy all the things
Acknowledging a sense of greed in desiring elements that sustain doubt and uncertainty.
I think I need to feel like I can tend the fire's built by doubt.
Repeating the need for challenges or conflicts to maintain a relationship.
The look on your face says that wasn't the right thing to say
Noticing a negative reaction from the other person to something said.
But I said it anyway
Speaking candidly despite knowing the potential negative consequences.
And slowly I feel all the strings inside me starting to fray
Sensing internal emotional strain and the potential for breakdown.
And I'm wondering when they'll break
Anticipating a point of emotional breakdown and wondering when it will happen.
I know that I'm the deer and you're the car I'm in your way
Using metaphorical language to describe feeling vulnerable and in the way of harm.
But I hesitate until it's too late
Delaying action until it's too late, possibly a pattern of indecision.
Yeah I hesitate until it's too late
Repeating the pattern of hesitation leading to missed opportunities or consequences.
Well honestly it's not pretty all the things I think I see in you
Reiterating unflattering perceptions of someone, questioning the way things unfold.
But that just ain't the way that this works out
Reiterating the incongruence between expectations and reality in relationships.
Well honestly it's just greedy all the things
Acknowledging a sense of greed in desiring elements that sustain doubt and uncertainty.
I think I need to feel like I can tend the fire's built by doubt
Repeating the need for challenges or conflicts to maintain a relationship.
