Lyrics
Love me like a losing game
Love is compared to a losing game, implying difficulty and potential pain.
So I can predict the pain
Desire for a predictable experience of pain in love.
I'll feel when it hits and hurts
Anticipation of the emotional impact when love inevitably brings hurt.
Terrified of being played
Fear of being deceived or manipulated in relationships.
When it's the only way to get laid
Acknowledgment of using certain tactics, even if uncomfortable, to find intimacy.
In the dirt and immerse myself
Willingness to immerse oneself in challenging situations for the sake of connection.
Cause love don't come easy to some
Recognition that love is not easily attained by everyone.
So when it comes to girls like us
Reference to a shared experience among individuals like the singer.
I just take it and run
Decision to accept and seize opportunities for love, perhaps with a sense of impermanence.
Surprised and petrified
Feeling both surprised and fearful about the current romantic situation.
Am I even doing this right?
Doubt about one's actions and questioning if they are handling the situation correctly.
I ask and you sigh
Seeking reassurance from a partner and receiving a sigh in response.
It's a one-step process
Describing the romantic process as simple, with an assurance that it cannot go wrong.
You can't fuck it up
An instruction that the process is foolproof; success is guaranteed.
You've got to succeed for the rest of us
An appeal to succeed in love for the benefit of others with similar experiences.
When its all over and you go to cry
Advice for handling the aftermath of a romantic encounter, suggesting a positive outlook.
Remember to wipe your eyes and say you had a good time
Encouragement to acknowledge the experience as enjoyable despite potential challenges.
Cause things like this don't come frequently to us
Highlighting the infrequency of positive experiences for individuals like the singer.
We're left waiting in the dust
Expressing the common experience of waiting and being left behind romantically.
Terrified of being played
Reiteration of the fear of being deceived or manipulated in relationships.
When its the only way to get laid
Restating the willingness to use certain tactics for intimacy, even if uncomfortable.
In the dirt and immerse myself
Reaffirming the readiness to immerse oneself in challenging situations for connection.
Cause love don't come easy to some
Reiteration that love is not easily attained by everyone.
So when it comes to girls like us
Repeating the reference to a shared experience among individuals like the singer.
I just take it and run
Reaffirming the decision to accept and seize opportunities for love, perhaps with a sense of impermanence.
