Turn Me Down
Navigating Love's Uncertain Roads
Lyrics
I'm the driver, going 80 k's
I am driving at 80 kilometers per hour.
Trying to get to Melbourne
Attempting to reach Melbourne.
It's probably gonna take two days
Anticipating a journey that might span two days.
Lover beside you, gripping the door
A lover is with me, holding onto the car door.
Are you always nervous?
Asking if the companion is consistently anxious.
You have crashed before
Noting a previous car crash, possibly implying past mistakes.
It's a lot to ask of you
Expressing that it's a significant request for trust.
To believe in me
Asking the lover to believe in the speaker.
When I can't even promise
Acknowledging an inability to promise a different approach in the future.
I'd do things differently next time
Reflecting on a need for change in behavior next time.
Pulled off the highway
Exiting the highway and finding a place to stop.
Found a place to sit
Pausing to sit and reflect.
He took my hands and I see a bright future
Someone took the speaker's hands, suggesting a positive outlook.
I'm just not sure that you're in it
Expressing uncertainty about the lover's commitment to the future.
It's a lot to ask of me
Acknowledging a significant demand on the speaker to trust.
To believe in you
Requesting belief from the speaker in return.
When I don't know if you'll ever love me
Expressing doubt about whether the lover will ever reciprocate love.
The way I want you to
Desiring the lover to love the speaker in the desired manner.
So please just turn me down
Pleading with the lover to reject the speaker.
Oh please just turn me down
Repeating the plea to turn the speaker down.
Why won't you turn me down?
Questioning why the lover won't reject the speaker.
Oh please just turn me down
Reiterating the plea for the lover to reject the speaker.
Why won't you turn me down?
Again questioning the reluctance to turn the speaker down.
Oh please just turn me down
Persisting in the plea for rejection.
Why won't you turn me down?
Continuing to wonder why the lover won't reject the speaker.
Why won't you turn me down?
Repeating the question about the reluctance to reject the speaker.
Don't look at me
Advising not to look at the speaker but to focus on the center line, suggesting a desire for distance.
Look at the centre line
Encouraging attention to the road's center line.
Maybe I'll see you
Musing about the possibility of encountering the lover in a mundane setting like a supermarket.
In the supermarket sometime
Suggesting a casual and unexpected meeting in the future.
