Lyrics
Hey won't you
Expressing a desire for someone to engage or interact
Slide between between these
Suggesting a desire for intimacy or closeness
Walls we built?
Reflecting on barriers or emotional walls that have been constructed
Back to when we were
Nostalgically referring to a past time
Outside the door,
Being outside a door, possibly symbolizing exclusion or separation
Outside your house we were
Recalling a specific location outside the listener's house
hey won't you
Reiteration of the desire for connection and breaking down walls
Slide between these
Repetition of the theme of overcoming emotional barriers
Walls we built
Continuation of the call to return to a previous, more connected state
Back to when we were
Revisiting a time before emotional distance took hold
Outside the door
Reiteration of being outside a door, possibly symbolizing exclusion
Outside your house we were
Recalling a specific location outside the listener's house
And a jp,e walkin' alone
Reference to a lonely walk, potentially indicating solitude or isolation
Outside in this schoolyard
Describing a setting in a schoolyard, possibly a metaphor for the journey of life
How did we end up here
Pondering how the current situation came to be
(chorus)
Chorus emphasizing the creation or development of a metaphorical "timebomb"
Makin' a
-Makin' a
-Makin' a timebomb
-makin' a
-Makin' a
-Makin' a timebomb
-makin' a
-Makin' a
-Makin' a timebomb
-hey don't stop
Encouraging the continuation of a conversation
The conversation we had
Recalling a past conversation and its importance
Do you
Prompting the listener to remember the content of the conversation
Remember what was said
Highlighting the significance of past words spoken
We'll start again
Expressing a willingness to start anew and overcome past difficulties
We'll start all over and
-We'll start again
-We'll start all over again
-Am I walking home from this schoolyard
Narrating a journey home, possibly laden with remorse
I gotta whole lotta regret
Expressing a sense of regret or guilt
How did we end up here
Reflecting on how the current situation unfolded
(chorus)
Chorus repeating the theme of creating a metaphorical "timebomb"
Makin' a
-Makin' a
-Makin' a timebomb
-makin' a
-Makin' a
-Makin' a timebomb
-makin' a
-Makin' a
-Makin' a timebomb
-I had a thought that we
Reflecting on thoughts about the current state of the relationship
That we end up like this
Anticipating a negative outcome or ending
I had a thought that we'd
Expecting a fate similar to others
End up like all the rest
Questioning the nature of the plan or path taken
But hey what's this
Expressing surprise or confusion about the situation
Plan we master
Questioning the strategy or decision-making process
Why did you
Asking why certain beliefs were held or trusted
Believe the things we said
Reflecting on shared statements or promises
Did we decide
Considering whether a decision was jointly made
That we'd be walkin'
Reiterating the act of walking, possibly symbolizing the journey of life
Outside the door
Being outside a door, reminiscent of earlier lines
Outside your house
Repetition of being outside the listener's house
(chorus)
Final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the creation of a metaphorical "timebomb"
Makin' a
-Makin' a
-Makin' a timebomb
-makin' a
-Makin' a
-Makin' a timebomb
-makin' a
-Makin' a
-Makin' a timebomb
