Lyrics

Time i wish we had more, but it's fine

Expressing a desire for more time but accepting the current situation.

Lies

An acknowledgment of lies.

They're twisting these lines in my head

Feeling mental confusion or distortion due to deceptive thoughts.

Killers chase them

Suggesting that challenges or dangers (killers) are pursuing.

With some things we left unsaid

Unspoken issues or unresolved matters from the past.

They all face them

Facing and dealing with the consequences of those unresolved issues.

All these demons in my head

Acknowledging inner struggles and personal demons.


These demons in my head

Reiterating the presence of personal demons in the mind.

I think that they speak to me

Believing that the inner demons communicate or influence thoughts.

(I think that they speak to me)

Reinforcing the idea that the demons are communicative.

All this music that I'm writin'

Feeling a deep connection to music, as if it is personally tailored.

I feel like you wrote for me

Suggesting that the music resonates as if written specifically for the individual.

I'm still fighting

Continuing to struggle against various challenges.

These reasons to speak to you

Searching for reasons to communicate or connect.

(To speak to you) i'm still trying to see

Expressing ongoing efforts to understand and communicate.

Why you matter so much to me

Questioning the significant impact someone has on the individual.

Come a little closer (Come a little closer)

Inviting someone closer, expressing a desire for intimacy.

Beside me i don't need no peace of mind

Not needing tranquility when that person provides clarity.

You give me that clarity (Clarity)

Highlighting the clarity and understanding gained from the relationship.

Are we tired of wasting lives?

Pondering the value of life and the consequences of wasting it.

I can hardly breathe (Hardly breathe)

Experiencing difficulty breathing, possibly metaphorical for emotional suffocation.


I can hardly breathe i can hardly breathe

Repeating the difficulty in breathing, emphasizing the struggle.


I wish I knew better i could do better

Expressing a desire for self-improvement and the acknowledgment of personal shortcomings.

I wish I knew better no, I could do better

-

I wanna be selfish but I can't

(Selfish) i wanna be selfish, I know

All these people come and go

I wanna be selfish, I do
