Lyrics

I'm the accident waiting to happen, it's just a matter of time

I anticipate a future accident and believe it's inevitable.

Back of the car again wondering why I got so determined to say

Reflecting on being in the back of a car, questioning determination.

I lack the courage to take care of myself

Expressing a lack of courage to self-care.

Well, ain't that a turn on, babe?

Noting that the lack of self-care is strangely attractive.

Turn this car around, I need somebody

Expressing a need for someone to turn the car around.

To hold me when the morning comes

Seeking comfort in someone's embrace when the morning comes.


So go on, save me

Pleading for help, feeling overwhelmed by emotions.

I'm sinking in to my feelings

Acknowledging a sinking feeling into deep emotions.

And I'm scared they're gonna drown my confidence

Fearing that emotions will overpower and drown confidence.

Go on and save me

Reiterating the plea for someone to save them.

I might look capable but I'm not

Admitting that despite appearances, they are not capable of saving themselves.

These days you're all that I've got

Stating that currently, the person addressed is all they have.


I'm the acrobat turning around inside of that circuitry mind

Describing themselves as an acrobat navigating a complex mind.

Under the covers I don't wanna come out until you make me feel alive

Expressing a desire to stay hidden until someone makes them feel alive.

I've got the money to take care of myself

Having the means to self-care but choosing suffering instead.

But I spend my time on suffering

Acknowledging a pattern of spending time on suffering.

Just this time around, I need your body

Expressing a need for someone's presence just for a moment.

If only when the morning comes

Desiring comfort specifically in the morning.


So go on, save me

Repeating the plea for someone to save them.

I'm sinking in to my feelings

Reiterating the sinking feeling into deep emotions.

And I'm scared they're gonna drown my confidence

Repeating the fear of emotions drowning confidence.

So go on and save me

Continuing the plea for someone to save them.

I might look capable but I'm not

Restating the lack of capability despite appearances.

These days you're all that I've got

Reaffirming that currently, the addressed person is all they have.


You're all that I've got now

Emphasizing that the addressed person is everything they have now.

Save me

Repeating the plea for someone to save them.

I'm sinking in to my feelings

Reiterating the sinking feeling into deep emotions.

And I'm scared they're gonna drown my confidence

Repeating the fear of emotions drowning confidence.

Go on and save me

Repeating the plea for someone to save them.

I might look capable but I'm not

Restating the lack of capability despite appearances.

These days you're all that I've got

Reaffirming that currently, the addressed person is all they have.


Go

Concluding with a desperate plea for help.
