Lyrics
you were driving too fast
You were driving at a high speed.
in a cool car
You were in a stylish or impressive car.
you were trying so hard
You were putting in significant effort.
to look like you weren't trying
You were attempting to appear casual or nonchalant.
you were being so coy
You were acting shy or reserved.
at the movie
During a movie outing.
you thought I didn't notice
You believed I didn't notice your emotional vulnerability.
that you were crying
You were shedding tears.
you pretended you were busy
You feigned busyness to avoid conversation.
when I called you
When I called you.
as though I didn't want to
As if I didn't want to engage in extended conversation.
talk all night
Talking throughout the night was desired.
so hang up
Suggesting to end the call.
no you hang up
Playful exchange of "hang up" between individuals.
you hang up
no you hang up
Continuation of the playful exchange.
hang up
Suggesting to end the call.
no you hang up
Continuation of the playful exchange.
shut up
Playful suggestion to be quiet.
no you shut up
Continuation of the playful suggestion.
you were driving too fast
Repetition of the earlier scenario of driving too fast.
trying so hard
Reiteration of putting in excessive effort.
you don't have to try so hard
An assertion that excessive effort is unnecessary.
but it's alright if they see you trying
Acknowledgment that it's acceptable for others to witness effort.
