Lyrics
Watch your step or you might fall
Caution to avoid potential pitfalls or mistakes.
You act like you're a know-it-all
Observation of someone portraying an air of superiority or omniscience.
Yeah I used to do that, I used to be like that
Reflection on the speaker's past behavior, acknowledging a similar attitude.
I'm still a bit like that
Admission of retaining some traits from that past behavior.
You might think you found the one
Skepticism about finding true love, anticipating potential heartbreak.
Until your heart gets ripped and torn
Warning about the emotional pain that can accompany love.
Yeah I used to feel bad, I used to feel like that
Recognition of past feelings of remorse or guilt.
I still feel a bit like that
Acknowledgment of still experiencing residual emotions from the past.
But I'm not searching for the answer
Explicitly stating a lack of interest in seeking solutions or answers.
I'm not looking for the truth
Expressing disinterest in uncovering absolute truths.
I'm just talking through a speaker
Communication through a medium (speaker) as the speaker's primary mode of expression.
Because that's all that I have ever learned to do
Highlighting a reliance on verbal expression as a learned behavior.
Use your mind and make it talk
Encouragement to engage in thoughtful conversation using one's intellect.
'Cause in this world it's all you've got
Emphasizing the importance of mental faculties in navigating life.
We all fall down from the highest clouds to the lowest ground
Metaphorically describing life's ups and downs, from highs to lows.
The loneliness is worst of all
Highlighting the profound impact of loneliness, especially in the absence of support.
When you've got no one else to call
Describing the heightened sense of sadness when facing challenges alone.
Feeling kind of sad when the times are bad, the times are getting bad
Expression of sorrow during difficult times, hinting at worsening circumstances.
But I'm not searching for the answer
Reiteration of disinterest in seeking definitive answers.
No, I'm not looking for the truth
Reaffirmation of not actively pursuing absolute truths.
I'm just talking through a speaker
Continuation of communicating through a chosen medium (speaker).
Because that's all that I could ever learn to do
Restating the reliance on verbal expression as a learned behavior.
Because that's all that I have ever learned to do
Emphasizing the persistence of the speaker's learned mode of expression.
What about you?
Repetitive questioning directed at another person about their perspective or experiences.
What about you?
-What about you?
-What about you?
-What about you?
-What about you?
-What about you?
-What about you?
-So watch your step or you might fall
Recall of the earlier caution to avoid potential pitfalls or mistakes.
You act like you're a know-it-all
Observation of someone portraying an air of superiority or omniscience (repeated).
Yeah I used to do that, I used to be like that
Reflection on the speaker's past behavior, acknowledging a similar attitude (repeated).
I'm still a bit like that
Admission of retaining some traits from that past behavior (repeated).
