Lyrics
Talk sweet to pass the time
Talking sweetly to pass the time
But never crossing lines
Being careful not to cross boundaries
You keep it casual
Maintaining a casual approach
I like that
Expressing approval for the casual approach
You leave it at "oh I like you a lot"
Expressing liking without commitment
And I'm trying not to get my signals crossed
Ambiguity in communication, trying not to misinterpret signals
But I'm getting comfortable
Becoming comfortable with the situation
And you like that
Reciprocal comfort in the situation
I'll stick to kissing your fingers while you drive
Choosing a physical, yet not too intimate, connection
But we both know what we'd do if we had all night
Acknowledging unfulfilled desires due to limited time
I could get used to this
Expressing a potential desire to continue the current situation
I could get used to this
Reiterating the potential for getting used to the current state
But I still don't think you give a shit about me
Expressing doubt about the other person's genuine interest
Try to keep my heart guarded
Attempting to protect oneself emotionally
So I don't fall in love again
Desire to avoid falling in love again
I'll still end up broken hearted
Expectation of heartbreak despite precautions
Because it was broke when we started
Stating that the heart was already broken at the beginning
My heart was broke when we started
Reiterating the pre-existing broken state of the heart
You started the drive slow
Describing the slow start of a journey
Taking the long way
Preferring a longer route, hoping for delays
I hope it's bumper-to-bumper the whole way
Expressing a desire for more time together
I'll supply my worlds of meaning when you play the song I like
Sharing meaningful experiences through music
Let my head go full on empty when your fingers trace my thigh
Letting go of inhibitions during physical intimacy
I could get used to this
Repeating the potential for getting used to the current state
I could get used to this
Reiterating the potential for getting used to the current state
But I still don't think you give a shit about me
Expressing continued doubt about the other person's feelings
Try to keep my heart guarded
Repeating the attempt to guard against emotional involvement
So I don't fall in love again
Desire to avoid falling in love again, despite efforts
I'll still end up broken hearted
Anticipation of heartbreak despite precautions
Because it was broke when we started
Stating that the heart was already broken at the beginning
I'm getting used to this
Adapting to the current situation
(I'm getting used to this)
Repeating the process of getting used to the situation
Can't let myself get used to this
Acknowledging the danger of becoming accustomed to the situation
(Can't help myself, so say you)
Expressing a desire for affirmation from the other person
'Cause I still don't think you give a shit about me
Reiterating doubt about the other person's feelings
(Please say you give a shit about me)
Pleading for reassurance about the other person's feelings
Tried to keep my heart guarded
Repeating the attempt to guard against emotional involvement
(Why am I always falling?)
Questioning the inevitability of falling in love
So I wouldn't fall in love again
Desire to avoid falling in love again
(When I end up broken hearted because it was broke when we started)
Anticipation of heartbreak despite precautions
But now I end up broken hearted because it was broke when we started
Confirming the inevitability of heartbreak
My heart was broke when we started, yeah
Reiterating the pre-existing broken state of the heart
My heart was broke when we
Repeating the acknowledgment of a broken heart
Tried to keep my heart guarded
Repeating the attempt to guard against emotional involvement
So I wouldn't fall in love again
Desire to avoid falling in love again
But I still end up broken hearted because it was broke when we started
Anticipation of heartbreak despite precautions
