Don't Wanna Think
Avoiding Heartbreak: Julia Michaels' Emotional Revelations
Lyrics
Now I'm not really one for drinking songs but
Expressing a reluctance for songs about drinking.
I guess that I should probably write one 'cause
Acknowledging the need to write a drinking song due to loneliness.
I'm feeling pretty lonely
Conveying a sense of loneliness.
He's the only thing that holds me right now
Highlighting the emotional reliance on someone specific.
Now I'm not really one for drinking songs but
Reiterating a lack of interest in drinking songs.
I guess if I'm not wrapped here in your arms then
Expressing the need to be in the embrace of the mentioned person.
I can't talk about love
Declaring difficulty discussing love.
And who wants to talk about love?
Rhetorical question about the desirability of discussing love.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Repeating the desire to avoid thinking about the person.
I don't want us
Expressing a disinterest in continuing a relationship.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Repeating the sentiment of not wanting a relationship.
Well, I don't wanna think about you right now
Explicitly stating the unwillingness to think about the person.
Don't wanna think about you right now
Reiterating the refusal to think about the person.
'Cause if I did, it would be damn bad
Explaining the potential negative consequences of thinking about the person.
And I'd show up at your house
Imagining an intense emotional reaction, possibly anger or frustration.
I was screaming at your door
Visualizing a scene of expressing frustration at the person's door.
Saying "what the fuck is wrong with you?"
Verbalizing the frustration and questioning the person's actions.
I thought that we were good enough
Expressing disappointment in the perceived inadequacy of the relationship.
I thought that you needed love
Believing that love was necessary in the relationship.
No, I don't wanna think about you right now
Reiterating the unwillingness to think about the person.
Don't wanna think about you right now
Affirming the decision not to think about the person.
Now I'm not really one for drinking songs but
Reiterating the aversion to drinking songs but deciding to write one.
Fuck it, here it comes, uh
Embracing the idea of a drinking song despite initial reluctance.
Heartbreak is annoying
Labeling heartbreak as bothersome.
And I feel it in the morning
Expressing the lingering effect of heartbreak in the morning.
Swallow it down like a bitter pill
Metaphorically describing the difficulty of accepting heartbreak.
At least it'll taste better than this feeling will
Comparing the taste of bitterness to the feeling of heartbreak.
And I don't like myself when I'm just standing still
Expressing discomfort with oneself during inactivity.
No, I don't wanna think about you right now
Reiterating the unwillingness to think about the person.
Don't wanna think about you right now
Affirming the decision not to think about the person.
'Cause if I did, it would be damn bad
Repeating the potential negative consequences of thinking about the person.
And I'd show up at your house
Imagining an intense emotional reaction and a confrontation at the person's house.
I was screaming at your door
Recreating a scene of screaming at the person's door.
Saying "what the fuck is wrong with you?"
Reiterating the frustration and questioning of the person's actions.
I thought that we were good enough
Expressing a belief in the adequacy of the relationship.
I thought that you needed love
Believing in the person's need for love in the relationship.
I know that when I wake up
Acknowledging the inevitability of receiving messages and calls upon waking up.
There's gonna be seven texts and three calls to you
Anticipating difficulty in responding to messages and calls.
And I'm not gonna know what to do
Acknowledging the likelihood of making excuses.
I will make up some excuse about
Indicating a plan to create a false explanation.
How that was meant for someone else
Planning to attribute messages to someone else.
When the truth is I'm not over you
Admitting the truth of not being over the person.
