Lyrics
Call it if you want but I don't wanna quit
Expressing a reluctance to give up or quit despite challenges.
Just break the silence if this is it
Encouraging the other person to speak up and end the silence if the situation is coming to an end.
Please look at me when I look at you
Requesting direct eye contact, seeking a connection in communication.
It's like I'm staring straight through
Feeling like the speaker's gaze goes unnoticed or is ineffective.
So shoot me straight, it's getting late
Asking for honesty or directness in communication as time is running out.
And I can't take
Expressing an inability to endure the current situation any longer.
How many times do I keep running
Questioning the repeated act of running away from problems or conflicts.
To all these bridges you keep on burning
Noting the destructive pattern of burning bridges, possibly in relationships.
How many times do I keep running
Repeating the theme of escaping from haunting memories or issues.
From all these ghosts that keep me haunted
Highlighting the persistent presence of haunting memories or unresolved issues.
You pick a fight then change your mind
Describing a partner who initiates conflicts but changes their stance.
You love to pretend like everything is fine
Noting the tendency to pretend that everything is fine despite conflicts.
But every time I try to fix this
Expressing an effort to fix issues, but the partner avoids it instantly.
You run away in an instant
Observing a pattern of the partner running away when faced with relationship problems.
So
Transition in the lyrics, setting up a repeated plea for connection.
Please look at me when I look at you
Reiterating the desire for meaningful eye contact and connection in communication.
It's like I'm staring straight through
Highlighting the feeling of being emotionally distant or not understood.
So shoot me straight, it's getting late
Requesting straightforwardness as time is running out.
And I can't take
Expressing the urgency of the situation and an inability to endure it any longer.
How many times do I keep running
Repeating the theme of running away from problems and conflicts.
To all these bridges you keep on burning
Pointing out the destructive nature of consistently destroying relationships.
How many times do I keep running
Reiterating the struggle of escaping haunting memories or unresolved issues.
From all these ghosts that keep me haunted
Expressing the difficulty in escaping the persistent presence of haunting memories.
How many times do I keep running
Repeating the theme of running away from problems and conflicts.
To all these bridges you keep on burning
Noting the destructive pattern of burning bridges, possibly in relationships.
How many times do I keep running
Reiterating the struggle of escaping haunting memories or unresolved issues.
From all these ghosts that keep me haunted
Expressing the difficulty in escaping the persistent presence of haunting memories.
How many times do I keep running
Repeating the theme of running away from problems and conflicts.
To all these bridges you keep on burning
Noting the destructive pattern of burning bridges, possibly in relationships.
How many times do I keep running
Reiterating the struggle of escaping haunting memories or unresolved issues.
From all these ghosts that keep me haunted
Expressing the difficulty in escaping the persistent presence of haunting memories.
