Lyrics
I figure the best times are behind me
The speaker believes that their best moments are in the past.
I never felt so god damn old
The speaker feels extremely old and worn-out.
Where's the lessons I hoped to learn when I needed them
The speaker expected to learn important life lessons when needed but feels they haven't.
Seems I've learned nothing at all
The speaker feels they have gained no knowledge despite their experiences.
My stupid mouth has already landed me
The speaker's own words have caused them significant trouble.
In heaps of trouble and I
They're in trouble and struggling to see a simple solution without making it complicated.
Can't see a way out without making this
The speaker wants to resolve the situation without making it worse than it is.
More than it needs to be
Desire to avoid unnecessary complications or drama.
I don't need telling twice
They're quick to grasp things and don't require repeated advice.
All I want is out of sight, out of mind
The speaker wishes to be forgotten and left alone.
Call me up when you're done
Asking to be contacted again after the situation has resolved.
Hoping that there's some place left in your heart
Hopeful of being remembered or forgiven in someone's heart.
For me
Seeking a place of belonging or significance in someone's emotions or life.
My sense of bravado has all but abandoned me
Confidence or boldness has diminished.
I'm alone with just my thoughts
The speaker is left alone with their thoughts.
I've been weak for as long as I can remember but
The speaker feels perpetually vulnerable but had a sense of strength with the person mentioned.
With you I felt so strong
The person made the speaker feel unusually strong.
Wait up
Requesting someone to wait or stop.
There must be something I can offer you
Seeking something of value to offer.
I know
Admitting personal flaws but still wanting to prove a point.
I've got my faults but still, I've got a point to prove
Accepting personal faults but also claiming competence.
I don't need telling twice
Similar to line 9, not wanting repeated instructions.
All I want is out of sight, out of mind
Desiring to be forgotten and left alone, echoed from line 10.
Call me up when you're done
Requesting to be contacted again after a resolution.
Hoping that there's some place left in your heart
Hopeful of being remembered or forgiven, mirroring line 12.
For me
Seeking a place of belonging or significance in someone's emotions or life, echoing line 13.
Whoaaa - oh whoaa - oh oh oh
Repeating the desire to be forgotten and left alone, similar to lines 10 and 23.
Whoaa - oh whoaa - oh oh oh
-Whoaa - oh whoaa - oh oh oh
-Whoaa - oh whoaa - oh oh oh
-I don't need telling twice
Repeated expressions of wanting to be forgotten, left alone, and then contacted again after the situation resolves, echoing lines 10, 23, 24, and 33.
All I want is out of sight, out of mind
-Call me up when you're done
-Hoping that there's some place left in your heart
-I don't need telling twice
-All I want is out of sight, out of mind
-Call me up when you're done
