Same Street
Love's Maze: A Heart's Confession in 'Same Street'
Lyrics
I was walking down
The narrator was walking down a street.
The same street you were walking down last week
The same street the person addressed was on a week prior.
Hoping that you'd make an appearance
The narrator hoped to see this person.
And I was headed towards
Heading towards a place that sells something the person likes.
The place that sells the cheeseboards that you like
Anticipating the person's presence to affect the narrator negatively.
Hoping that you'd show up to ruin my life
Desiring a disruption caused by the person.
And I, I wish that we were different
Expressing a wish for a different situation with the person.
But you never listened
The person didn’t heed the narrator’s desires or concerns.
And I, I wish that you weren't with her
Expressing a desire for the person not to be with someone else.
But I saw you kiss her
Observing the person kissing another, indicating their current relationship status.
Well, the breakup was a messy one, you see
Describing a messy breakup, possibly involving the person being addressed.
The breakup was kinda because of me
Admitting some responsibility for the breakup.
And my maze of trust issues
Mentioning personal trust issues affecting the relationship.
I guess that kind of bothered you
Suggesting the trust issues may have caused friction.
But I swear, it's really not my fault
Denying fault for the situation.
My heart's been tossed and torn a lot
Expressing emotional turmoil and past hurts.
And then the day you noticed me
Feeling a sense of completion when noticed by the person.
I felt kinda complete
A sense of fulfillment upon the person's attention.
And I, I wish that we were different
Repeated desire for a different relationship scenario.
But you never listened
Reiterating the person's lack of attentiveness to wishes.
And I, I wish that you weren't with her
Reiterating the wish for the person not to be with another.
But I saw you kiss her
Reaffirming the observation of the person with someone else.
When I walked inside the restaurant
Entering a restaurant and making eye contact with the person.
We locked eyes and then I forgot
Feeling a momentary lapse in memory due to the emotional impact of seeing the person.
Everything that we went through
Forgetting the past troubles shared with the person.
I think I just fell for you again
Experiencing a resurgence of feelings for the person.
This shouldn't be happening again
Recognizing the undesirable repetition of emotions.
God, I wish we were only pretend
Expressing a desire for the situation to be fictional or not real.
Cause maybe this would be easier
Contemplating an easier scenario if feelings were not genuine.
Oh I, I wish that we were different
Reiterating the desire for a different circumstance.
But you never listened
Highlighting the person's historical inattentiveness.
And I, I wish that you weren't with her
Reiterating the wish for the person not to be in a relationship.
But I saw you kiss her
Confirming witnessing the person with someone else romantically.
