Lyrics
Break it on down for me
Expressing a desire for a clear explanation or breakdown of a situation.
Dotted every I, crossed every T but hey,
Having been thorough in addressing details, but expressing a sense of familiarity with the situation.
I swear I’ve heard this all before
Feeling a sense of déjà vu, having heard similar explanations or promises before.
Write it on out
Asking for the situation to be written or explained clearly.
Let me see how this one ends
Expressing a desire to witness the resolution or conclusion of the current situation.
Breaking all the rules and saying that we’re friends like,
Acknowledging the violation of conventional norms, claiming friendship while being emotionally distant.
Like I’m not halfway out the door
Highlighting a precarious state of the relationship, possibly on the verge of ending.
I would catch a flight
Expressing willingness to take drastic actions, such as catching a flight.
I would build a jetpack
Suggesting a metaphorical device (jetpack) to emphasize the lengths one is willing to go to reconcile.
I’ll do anything just to
Committing to doing anything necessary to retrieve the person.
Come and get you back
Stating the intention to retrieve the person who has been emotionally or physically distant.
We’re on the phone
Describing a moment of communication over the phone.
Say what you’re thinking
Encouraging open communication, urging the other person to express their thoughts.
Let me catch a ride while the
Suggesting a desire to reconcile before the situation worsens further.
Ship’s still sinking
Metaphorically referencing a sinking ship, implying urgency in resolving the situation.
I know that I know that I know
Expressing a strong certainty about the temporary nature of the current state.
It ain’t gonna last
Acknowledging the impermanence of the current situation.
But let me slide through real fast
Proposing a quick visit or intervention despite the expected short duration of the resolution.
‘Cause you got me, and I want you
Affirming a deep connection and desire to be together despite the challenges.
And I’ll do anything I gotta do to get you back
Reiterating the commitment to take any necessary action to reunite.
Tell me what you think right now
Seeking the current thoughts or feelings of the other person.
We’ve come so far but still somehow
Reflecting on the journey so far, acknowledging distance despite progress.
We both kinda know how this story goes
Acknowledging shared understanding of the likely outcome of the relationship.
Tell me what you need
Requesting the other person's needs and perceptions.
Tell me what you see
Asking for confirmation that the current state is not meant to be.
Tell me that this can’t be meant to be, but baby please
Emotionally appealing for the other person's consideration despite challenges.
You gotta want something more
Asserting the need for a deeper connection or commitment.
I would catch a flight
Repeating the willingness to take drastic actions for reconciliation.
I would build a jetpack
Reiterating the metaphorical use of a jetpack to emphasize determination.
I’ll do anything just to
Restating the commitment to do anything necessary to reunite.
Come and get you back
Expressing the intention to retrieve the person who has been emotionally or physically distant.
We’re on the phone
Describing another moment of communication over the phone.
Say what you’re thinking
Encouraging open communication, urging the other person to express their thoughts.
Let me catch a ride while the
Suggesting a desire to reconcile before the situation worsens further.
Ship’s still sinking
Metaphorically referencing a sinking ship, implying urgency in resolving the situation.
I know that I know that I know
Reiterating a strong certainty about the temporary nature of the current state.
It ain’t gonna last
Affirming the acknowledgment of the impermanence of the current situation.
But let me slide through real fast
Proposing another quick visit or intervention despite the expected short duration of the resolution.
‘Cause you got me, and I want you
Affirming a deep connection and desire to be together despite the challenges.
And I’ll do anything I gotta do to get you back
