Lyrics
It's there if I want it
Expressing the availability of something when desired or needed.
There if I need it
Reiterating the presence of something as a readily accessible option.
I can't put it down
Feeling a strong attraction or attachment to something.
Don't know how
Expressing uncertainty or lack of knowledge about how to let go.
It's there in the mornin
Reiterating the consistent presence of something in the morning.
There in the evenin
Highlighting the continuous existence of something in the evening.
I can't quit it down
Conveying difficulty in breaking away from or quitting something.
Don't know how
Expressing a lack of understanding or control over the situation.
And then someone tells you
Describing an external validation of one's identity by someone else.
That you're someone
Acknowledging one's identity as recognized by others.
You don't feel good enough

You cry

You hang your head and sigh

I'm numb

Fortune misforune

An odd disposition i'm in now

Don't know how

Longing for nothin

Wanting everything

I never had
Reflecting on the absence of certain experiences.
Doesn't sound too bad
Seeing the absence of certain experiences as not necessarily negative.
Then someone tells you
Reiterating the theme of external validation of one's identity.
That you're someone
Acknowledging external recognition while internal feelings remain inadequate.
But you don't feel good enough

You cried
