Lyrics
Take ten steps back
Advice to distance oneself or reconsider actions
'Till you get to where you're going
Keep moving back until reaching a destination
Just research where you're going
Encouraging research and awareness about the destination
A T-shirt where it's snowing
Reference to a T-shirt in a snowy place, possibly symbolizing discomfort
A preacher not quite knowing what he's saying, what he's saying
Describes a preacher unsure of their message
I don't wanna be around when you lose control
Expresses a desire to avoid being present during someone's loss of control
I don't wanna be around when you lose control
-I don't wanna be around when you lose control
-When you lose control
-It's so hard to hold
Conveys the difficulty of bearing a heavy burden and the regret of saying "I told you so"
All this weigh up on my shoulders
-I hate to say I told ya so
-I don't wanna be around when you lose control
Reiterates the wish to avoid witnessing someone losing control and the burden of shouldering weight
I don't wanna be around when you lose control
-I don't wanna be around when you lose control
-When you lose control
-It's so hard to hold
-All this weight up on my shoulders
-I hate to say I told ya so
-Take ten steps back
Suggests taking a step back to gain perspective and acknowledges personal struggles
To close your eyes and listen
-And look from somewhere different
-I know that I've been slipping
-I fold my tie and ribbon to hide my scars, that's how it starts, ooh
-I don't wanna be around when you lose control
Repeats the desire to avoid witnessing loss of control and the difficulty of carrying a heavy load
I don't wanna be around when you lose control
-I don't wanna be around when you lose control
-When you lose control
-It's so hard to hold
-All this weight up on my shoulders
-I hate to say I told ya so
-Yeah
Repeats the phrase "Told ya so," indicating a warning or prediction
Told ya so
-Yeah
-I don't wanna be around when you lose control
Restates the wish to avoid being around during loss of control and the challenge of bearing a heavy burden
I don't wanna be around when you lose control
-I don't wanna be around when you lose control
-When you lose control
-It's so hard to hold
-All this weight up on my shoulders
-I hate to say I told ya so
-Hate to say I told ya so
Repeats the sentiment of regret in saying "I told you so"
I hate to say I told ya so
