Lyrics
Wait, won't you slow down
Expressing a desire for the other person to slow down.
Open up your eyes, what a view from my side
Encouraging the person to see things from the speaker's perspective.
When I'm lost, you come around
When feeling lost, the person being referred to provides support.
Grab my hand, ease the pain, we're in love, I'm okay
Describing the comforting and healing effect of the person's presence and love.
You don't, you don't
Expressing a sense of the other person not fully understanding the speaker's needs and perspective.
You don't, you don't
-Know just what I need
-You don't, you don't
-You don't, you don't
-Know just what I see
-Oh I might lose my mind, I might lose my mind
Contemplating the possibility of losing one's sanity or composure when the person is not around.
Around you this time
-Cause whenever you go, I got no one to hold
-And I hate it like that
-Oh I might lose my mind, I might lose my mind
Reiterating the fear of losing one's mind when the person is absent and the impact it has on the speaker.
Around you this time
-Cause whenever you go, I got no one to hold
-And I hate it like that
-Here, here's my whole heart
Offering the entirety of the speaker's heart, acknowledging vulnerability, and the difficulty in holding back emotions.
Rip it out piece by piece, every word that you speak
-Cause I can't hold, no no,
-Myself back, it's so bad, I can't sleep, when you're mad
-Oh I might lose my mind, I might lose my mind
Repeating the fear of losing one's mind and the emptiness felt when the person is not present.
Around you this time
-Cause whenever you go, I got no one to hold
-And I hate it like that
-Oh I might lose my mind, I might lose my mind
Emphasizing the impact of the person's absence on the speaker's mental state and emotional well-being.
Around you this time
-Cause whenever you go, I got no one to hold
-And I hate it like that
-Here, here's my whole heart
Reiterating the offering of the speaker's heart and the difficulty in dealing with the other person's words.
Rip it out piece by piece, every word that you speak
-Oh I might lose my mind, I might lose my mind
Expressing the recurring fear of losing one's mind and the loneliness experienced when the person is away.
Around you this time
-Cause whenever you go, I got no one to hold
-And I hate it like that
-Oh I might lose my mind, I might lose my mind
Repeating the theme of the speaker's struggle with the absence of the person and the resulting emotional distress.
Around you this time
-Cause whenever you go, I got no one to hold
-And I hate it like that
