Lyrics
Hey
Greeting or attention-grabbing start
I know it's been awhile
Acknowledging the passage of time since the last interaction
Since I've made you smile
Expressing a desire to bring joy to the listener
Or called your name
Recalling the act of calling the listener's name
Stay
Repetition of "Stay" for emphasis, possibly indicating a plea or longing
Stay
-Stay
-Stay
-Stay
-I need stability
Expressing a need for stability in the relationship
I know I'm not the only one Hurting
Acknowledging personal pain and questioning the purpose of the hardship
But is this the twisted lesson I'm Supposed to be learning?
Wondering if the difficulties are a deliberate lesson to be learned
Now every time that I wake up in Someone else's bed
Describing waking up with someone else and reminiscing about the listener
I think you're next to me then I Remember what you said
Recalling a statement made by the listener in the past
Remember all those months ago
Reflecting on a time in the past when the speaker wished for the listener to move on
I wanted you to move on
Blocking the listener but still having thoughts of them
So I blocked you but you're always In my head
The listener continues to occupy the speaker's thoughts despite efforts to block them
I got a hyperfixation on you
Expressing an intense fixation or obsession with the listener
But you never even think about Me
Noticing the listener doesn't reciprocate the fixation
Put everything into you darling
Investing a lot emotionally in the listener, leading to bittersweet feelings
And now it feels so bittersweet
Expressing the contradictory emotions of the current situation
When we were together I had to Hide
Recalling the need to hide the relationship when they were together
A love that was sacred but would Never survive
Describing a love that was sacred but couldn't survive
And if time could heal it would've Happened by now
If time could heal, the speaker expected it to happen by now
I guess I missed the feelings back
Reflecting on missing past feelings when the listener was present
When you were around
Expressing a longing for the emotions experienced in the past
I miss your winter coat wrapped Around me when I'm freezing
Recollecting specific moments and details of the past relationship
You'd walk around the city Wearing shorts out of season
-How you'd look me up and down And kiss me for no reason
-Even when I'm tweaking
Highlighting a positive aspect of the past relationship
We were happy with our secrets
Reminiscing about the happiness and understanding in the past relationship
When I hurt you knew to heal it
-And I can't try to contain it
-Hope you hear me when I say
Expressing a plea for the listener to hear and understand
I got a hyperfixation on you
Reiterating the intense fixation on the listener
Please tell me that think about me
Pleading for confirmation that the listener thinks about the speaker
Put everything into you darling
Repeating the investment in the listener, now with a plea
And now it feels so bittersweet
Reiterating the bittersweet emotions of the current situation
When we were together I had to Hide
Recalling the need to hide the relationship when they were together
A love that was sacred but would Never survive
Describing a love that was sacred but couldn't survive
And if time could heal it would've Happened by now
If time could heal, the speaker expected it to happen by now
I guess I miss the feelings the Feelings oh when you were Around
Reflecting on missing past feelings when the listener was present
Of when you were around
Repeated expressions of missing the listener when they were around
You were around
-When you were around
-I miss you around
Reiterating the longing and nostalgia for the listener's presence
