Lyrics
I've done this one too many times now;
I've repeated this action too many times.
Wake to a face without a name,
Waking up to a person whose identity is unknown.
Lying to close to the flame,
Lying too close to danger or risky situations.
Oh-oh.
Expressing a feeling of distress or surprise.
So tell me how I am so perfect,
Questioning perfection and the impact of one's voice.
And how my voice puts you to sleep,
Highlighting the soothing effect of the speaker's voice.
You're words don't...
Emphasizing that the listener's words lack significance.
They don't mean a thing.
Dismissing the importance of the listener's words.
Time to confess,
Acknowledging the need to confess a wrongdoing.
Will you forgive me?
Asking for forgiveness from the listener.
I'm not as bad as you all think.
Denying the severity of the speaker's perceived faults.
I've done this one too many times now;
Repetition of the idea of repeating a specific action.
Wake to a face without a name,
Continuation of waking up to an unidentified person.
Lying to close to the flame,
Reiteration of being in close proximity to danger.
Oh-oh.
Repeating the expression of distress or surprise.
So tell me how I am so perfect,
Raising questions about personal perfection and impact.
And how my voice puts you to sleep,
Reiterating the calming effect of the speaker's voice.
You're words don't...
Asserting the insignificance of the listener's words.
They don't mean shit to me.
Strongly dismissing the importance of the listener's words.
Time to confess,
Repeating the idea of confessing a wrongdoing.
Will you forgive me?
Requesting forgiveness from the listener again.
I'm not as bad as you all think,
Reaffirming that the speaker is not as bad as perceived.
As you think.
Emphasizing the contrast between perception and reality.
2! 3! 4!
Indicating a musical transition or countdown.
Time to confess,
Repeating the idea of confessing a wrongdoing.
Will you forgive me? (bah-bah)
Requesting forgiveness with a musical interjection.
I'm not as bad as you all think,
Reiterating that the speaker is not as bad as perceived.
As you think.
Emphasizing the contrast between perception and reality.
Who-who-who-who,
Repeating a rhythmic vocalization, possibly for musical emphasis.
Who-who-who-who,
-Who-who-who-who,
-Who-who-who-who.
