Lyrics

I shouldn't be in your livin' room

I feel out of place in your living room.

And you shouldn't be in my arms

You and I shouldn't be emotionally close or intimate.

It's unlikely there is a version of this

There's likely no version of this situation that won't deeply hurt me.

That's not gonna tear me apart

This situation is bound to cause emotional pain.

Your world still feels so familiar

Your world still feels familiar, despite some changes.

Though some of the furniture's new

New elements are introduced, but the essence remains the same.

I still know my way around everything

I am still familiar with everything here.

And I know my way around you

I understand and navigate my way around you.


Maybe you're not love anymore

Perhaps you are not love anymore.

Maybe you remind me of it

Maybe you trigger memories of love.

Maybe we're not love anymore

We may no longer be in love.

Maybe you're what keeps me from it

Perhaps you are the reason I am not experiencing love.

What keeps me from it

You are the obstacle preventing me from experiencing love.


I don't know how not to hold onto you

I struggle to let go of you.

And I don't trust myself not to stay

I don't trust myself to move on from you.

And love you occasional Saturdays

I may still love you on occasional Saturdays.

Oh, for someone who would meet me halfway

Yearning for someone who reciprocates halfway in the relationship.


Maybe you're not love anymore

Perhaps the love between us has faded.

Maybe you remind me of it

You might be a reminder of what love used to be.

Maybe we're not love anymore

We might have drifted away from love.

Maybe you're what keeps me from it

You could be the reason I'm not finding love.

What keeps me from it

You are the barrier preventing me from experiencing love.
