Lyrics

I don't know when I lost my nerve

I am uncertain about when I lost my courage or confidence.

And I started a routine

I established a regular and repetitive pattern in my life.

And I walked across this corner

I walked to a specific location or intersection.

Pinned my eyes to a shirt

I focused my gaze on a shirt, possibly as a way to avoid eye contact.


'Cause I'm scared of being seen

I feel afraid of being noticed or observed by others.

Locked myself in a stall

I confined myself within a closed space, like a restroom stall.

Rest my head against the wall

I leaned my head against the wall, possibly as a way to find comfort or solace.

Still drunk I had a dream in the morning

While still under the influence of alcohol, I experienced a dream in the morning.


Pin myself to the chore

I physically attached or affixed myself to a routine or task.

Looking through the cracks I saw the shadows on the tile

Observing the surroundings, I noticed shadows on the tile floor.

So I knocked on all the unlocked doors

I attempted to enter all accessible doors by knocking.

Locked myself in a stall

Once again, I isolated myself within a confined space, possibly indicating a desire for privacy.


Rest my head against the wall

I repeated the action of resting my head against the wall.

And I'm not sure

There is uncertainty about whether I ever had the courage or confidence.

That I've ever had the nerve

I may have never possessed the boldness or bravery.

'Cause I've always felt like an easy kill

I consistently felt vulnerable or easily defeated.


But I'm pretty sure

However, I am quite certain that I will never find out.

That I'm never going to know

I lack the knowledge or assurance if I am someone's preferred choice or remedy.

If I'm his kind of pill

There is doubt about whether I fit the criteria or preferences of a particular person.

Unlocked the stall and wandered off

I exited the confined space and wandered away without restraint.


Left my number on the wall

I left my contact information on the wall, possibly as a form of connection or communication.
