Lyrics
How'd we get alone?
Reflecting on how the speaker and the listener ended up alone.
Didn't expect to be so vulnerable at home
Expressing surprise at feeling vulnerable in the familiar setting of home.
Didn't think I'd get this time with you, no
Unexpectedly getting an opportunity to spend time together.
I really wasn't prepared for this
Feeling unprepared for the emotional depth of the current situation.
I'm dressed like a homeless man
Describing the speaker's appearance in a self-deprecating manner.
You can see how truly pale that I am
Highlighting the speaker's physical condition, emphasizing vulnerability.
Hoped you wouldn't have to see me like this
Hoping to hide a less flattering aspect from the listener.
But it's what I've got to work with
Accepting and acknowledging the current state as what the speaker has to work with.
So here we go - what's your name? What's your story?
Repeatedly asking for the listener's name and story, suggesting a desire for connection.
Here we go - what's your name? What's your story?
-Here we go - what's your name? What's your story?
-Here we go
-You're making me tremble
Expressing the intense impact of the encounter, with a realization that there's no escape from the situation (kitchen metaphor).
Making me sweat
-You're causing me trouble
-We only just met
-Making me tremble
-Making me sweat
-And I know there's no out of this kitchen
-Can you tell I've been alone?
Hinting at the speaker's prolonged loneliness.
Oh it's been longer than I hope you'll ever know
Acknowledging the extended period of solitude without the listener's awareness.
You seem quite stable and I hope that I don't go
Noting the stability of the listener and hoping not to disrupt it.
And just fuck that all up for you
Fearing the possibility of negatively impacting the listener.
So maybe I should go
Contemplating the idea of withdrawing to avoid potential harm due to the connection.
Hide away in my room and never know
-What would happen if we kept on this path
-Cause if we do there's no going back
-So here we go - what's your name? What's your story?
Repeating the inquiry about the listener's name and story, emphasizing the importance of understanding each other.
Here we go - what's your name? What's your story?
-Here we go - what's your name? What's your story?
-Here we go
-You're making me tremble
Reiterating the intense impact of the encounter and the inescapable nature of the situation.
Making me sweat
-You're causing me trouble
-We only just met
-You're making me tremble
-Making me sweat
-And I know there's no out of this kitchen
-Oh you're making me tremble
Further emphasizing the emotional impact and the inevitability of the connection.
Making me sweat
-You're causing me trouble
-We only just met
-You're making me tremble
-Making me sweat
-And I know there's no out of this kitchen
-You're making me tremble
Continuing to express the overwhelming emotions and the inescapable nature of the encounter.
Making me sweat
-You're causing me trouble
-We only just met
-You're making me tremble
-Making me sweat
-And I know there's no out of this kitchen
