Lyrics
Walked past me on the stairs
Observing someone who walked past him on the stairs.
You didn't see me there
He went unnoticed by the person passing by.
Pretend I didn't care
He acts as if he doesn't care about being ignored.
Of course I still care
Despite acting indifferent, he still cares about the person.
But I'm drunk enough to play the game
Under the influence, he is willing to engage in a romantic pursuit.
I lean in and you move away
He tries to approach, but the person avoids him.
But you linger all the same
The person still shows signs of interest despite pulling away.
And I can't help myself but say
Despite his reservations, he voices his feelings.
But I know a kiss won't make it right
Acknowledging that a simple kiss won't resolve their issues.
And there's no future left in sight
There's uncertainty about their future together.
But I got no false hope in my mind
He remains realistic and doesn't harbor false hopes.
But would you just come home with me tonight?
Despite the complexities, he seeks a connection for the night.
Pieces of my soul
Reiterating that a kiss won't fix their relationship issues.
Are burning in my throat
Emotional turmoil is causing him distress.
He's lighting up your phone
Noticing that the person is engaged with someone else over the phone.
You're here, but you're already gone
Even when physically present, their emotional connection seems distant.
Still I'm drunk enough to play the game
Despite being intoxicated, he's still willing to pursue.
I lean in and you move away
Attempts to draw closer, yet the person resists.
But I still love you all the same
His feelings remain unchanged despite the distance.
That's why I can't help myself to say
He can't resist expressing his emotions.
Well, I know a kiss won't make it right
He knows that a kiss won't mend their fractured relationship.
And there's no future left in sight
Their relationship lacks a promising future.
But I got no false hope in my mind
He is grounded in reality and not deluding himself.
But would you just come home with me tonight?
Yet, he still desires a fleeting connection.
The light has finally left your eyes
He notices the absence of warmth or connection in the person's eyes.
But we once flew in summer skies
Recalling happier times when they were deeply in love.
And you were holding me so tight
Reflecting on a time when they were intimately close.
Would you just come home with me tonight?
His longing for a connection remains evident.
'Cause I know a kiss won't make it right
He understands that a kiss won't resolve their lingering issues.
And there's no future left in sight
Their future together seems bleak or non-existent.
But I got no false hope in my mind
He remains clear-headed and realistic about their situation.
So would you just come home with me tonight?
Despite knowing the realities, he still yearns for a momentary connection.
But I know a kiss won't make it right
Repeating the sentiment that a kiss won't change their situation.
And there's no future left in sight
Emphasizing the absence of a promising future together.
But I got no false hope in my mind
He remains resolute and does not harbor false expectations.
So would you just come home with me tonight?
Reiterating his desire for a brief connection, regardless of the future.
Would you just come home with me?
Ends with a plea, hoping the person might still share a moment with him.
