Lyrics
This morning I, I saw the sun rise up above your silhouette
Reflecting on observing the sunrise over the person's silhouette in the morning.
And let me see you for what you are and what you aren't
Acknowledging and understanding both the positive and negative aspects of the person.
I'm a lot to take in and I'm not really what you need right now
Recognizing that the speaker may be overwhelming and not what the person currently needs.
So I'll take the lid off
Expressing a willingness to reveal or expose oneself by removing barriers.
I'll take the lid off
-I'll take the lid off
-On my nightstand, kept you in a jar
Metaphorically keeping the person in a jar on the nightstand, suggesting control or confinement.
Jailed your little heart but
Having control over the person's emotions or heart.
Had no reason why I couldn't let you fly
Expressing uncertainty about why the person's heart was confined and unable to fly.
I admit I don't always say what I mean every time that we speak
Admitting a tendency to not always communicate honestly during conversations.
But is that what you wanted
Questioning if the lack of straightforward communication was the desired expectation.
Is that what you wanted
-Is that what you wanted
-Oh, isn't that what you wanted
Suggesting that the speaker did what was done based on the perceived expectations of the other person.
Is that what you wanted
-Is that what you wanted
-Is that what you wanted
-I did it for you
Claiming that the speaker's actions were done for the benefit of the other person.
I did for you
Reiterating the intention behind the speaker's actions.
I tried
Acknowledging effort and attempts to make things work.
Oh baby, I tried
Repeating the effort made, emphasizing that it was sincere.
And a thousand times
Indicating a repeated cycle of letting things go too far or becoming too intense.
I let things go a little too far
Highlighting instances where the speaker allowed situations to escalate beyond control.
