Honest
Raw Emotions at Dawn
Lyrics
Woah woah woah woah woah
Expressing a sense of surprise or emphasis
Woah woah woah woah woah
Continuation of the expression of surprise or emphasis
It's five A.M. And I'm on the radio
The singer is on the radio at five in the morning
I'm supposed to call you, but I don't know what to say at all
The singer is supposed to call someone but doesn't know what to say
And there's this girl, she wants me to say hello
Mention of another girl who wants attention but doesn't genuinely care
She don't really love me though, I'm just on the radio
Recognition that the girl's interest is only due to the singer being on the radio
And I'm not gonna tell you that I'm over it
The singer won't claim to be over something (possibly a past relationship)
'Cause I think about it every night and I'm over it
Despite claiming to be over it, the singer thinks about it often
I know I keep these feelings to myself like I don't need nobody else
The singer keeps emotions to themselves, pretending not to need anyone
But you're not the only one on my mind
Acknowledgment that the person they're speaking to isn't the only one on their mind
If I'm being honest
Introducing honesty as a theme
If I'm being honest
Reiteration of honesty being important
You said I should be honest
Reference to someone advising the singer to be honest
So I'm being honest
Commitment to being honest
It's six A.M., I'm so far away from you
The singer is far away at 6 AM and doesn't want to disappoint
I don't wanna let you down, what am I supposed to do?
The singer feels torn about what to do in this situation
It's been three weeks at least, now, since I've been gone
It's been a while since the singer has been away, and they don't like it
And I don't even like the road, I'm just on the radio
Reiteration that being on the radio doesn't mean the singer likes being away
And I'm not gonna tell you that I'm over it
Repeat of not claiming to be over something
'Cause I think about it every night and I'm over it
Despite claiming to be over it, the singer thinks about it often
I know I keep these feelings to myself like I don't need nobody else
Keeping emotions hidden, pretending not to need anyone
But you're not the only one on my mind
Acknowledgment that the person they're speaking to isn't the only one on their mind
If I'm being honest
Reintroducing honesty as a theme
If I'm being honest
Reiteration of honesty being important
You said I should be honest
Reference to someone advising the singer to be honest
So I'm being honest
Commitment to being honest
Woah woah woah woah woah
Repetition of the woahs for emphasis or musical effect
Woah woah woah woah woah
-Woah woah woah woah woah
-And I'm not gonna tell you that I'm over it
Repeat of not claiming to be over something
'Cause I think about it every night and I'm over it
Despite claiming to be over it, the singer thinks about it often
I know I keep these feelings to myself like I don't need nobody else
Keeping emotions hidden, pretending not to need anyone
But you're not the only one on my mind
Acknowledgment that the person they're speaking to isn't the only one on their mind
If I'm being honest
Reintroducing honesty as a theme
If I'm being honest
Reiteration of honesty being important
You said I should be honest
Reference to someone advising the singer to be honest
So I'm being honest
Commitment to being honest
If I'm being honest
Final commitment to honesty
