Lyrics
I'm digging for fool's gold
I am searching for something that appears valuable but is ultimately worthless.
Out in the parking lot
I am in the parking lot, possibly metaphorically representing a transitional or uncertain space.
But no one's gonna catch me if they're not trying
I won't be caught unless someone actively tries to catch me.
So just tell me when I gotta pick up, pick up
Let me know when I need to leave quickly or when I need to act swiftly.
Call upon me, honeybee
Call me, my dear; I understand that the situation is difficult.
I know that it's tough
Life is challenging or demanding.
It's tough, it's tough
The toughness of the situation is emphasized or reiterated.
And if you gotta call back, do it fast
If you need to return my call, do it quickly to avoid a breakdown in communication.
Can't risk another communicative relapse
Avoiding another breakdown in communication is crucial.
So I just won't come around if you're not asking me to
I won't be present if you don't explicitly ask me to be.
Do you, do you even realize how
Do you understand the consequences of our communication?
This kind of conversation never helps a wall come down?
This type of conversation doesn't help break down barriers or improve relationships.
No family, no stake
No family ties, no personal interest or investment.
No pool to dive in
No opportunity to immerse myself deeply.
What is my history?
What is the narrative of my life?
What are the burdens of a disconnection?
What are the challenges of feeling disconnected?
I'm burdened by this disconnection
The burden of feeling disconnected is emphasized again.
I hope loving is always easy
I hope that love remains simple even in difficult times.
Even when life gets so hard
Even when life is tough.
Through changing leaves and learning to be forgiving--Forgive me please
Amidst change and learning to forgive, please forgive me.
For the person I could be
I apologize for the person I could become.
And the places you might see
Apology for the potential places you might witness within my mind.
Within my mind
Refers to the inner thoughts and complexities of the speaker.
So I just won't come around if you're not asking me to
Reiteration that the speaker won't be present without an explicit request.
Do you, do you even realize how
Do you grasp the consequences of our communication?
This kind of conversation never helps a wall come down?
Similar to line 12, highlighting the ineffectiveness of certain conversations.

I won't come around
Emphasizing the decision not to be present.
And I won't make a sound if you don't ask me to
I won't make a noise unless you specifically ask me to.
Oh, are you gonna ask me to?
Questioning if the other person will request the speaker's presence.
And am I even deserving if I have no stake in this?
Am I worthy of involvement if I have no personal investment?
Or am I doomed to a life of disconnection?
Questioning if a life of disconnection is inevitable or deserved.
