Lyrics
I just don't know how to tell you
The speaker is unsure how to express their feelings.
What I want 'cause it's unpredictable
Describing desires as unpredictable, possibly referring to complex emotions.
But listen to me after all this time oh
Despite uncertainty, the speaker wants the listener to pay attention.
You told me to come over right now
Requested to come over urgently by the listener.
Because you were scared that I'd lose control
Listener feared the speaker might lose control.
I guess I don't matter to you 'cause you're half asleep oh oh
Feeling neglected as the listener seems indifferent while half asleep.
But I don't wanna go outside
Expressing a reluctance to go outside.
If I do I know it'll ruin my pride
Fear of damaging personal pride by going outside.
I just want to know that I'm right
Expressing a desire for validation or assurance of being right.
Why can't you just tell me I'm right
Questioning why the listener can't affirm the speaker's correctness.
And I don't know what to say,
Feeling at a loss for words.
Day after day you just keep running away
Observerving a pattern of the listener avoiding commitment or staying in one place.
When will you learn to just stay in one place
Encouraging the listener to stay in one place for personal growth.
I know it's hard but we can help you change
Offering help for positive change despite challenges.
But she won't know what you did when you
Referring to a past incident involving a girl after leaving her house early.
Left her house early that night
Discussing the consequences of actions taken that night.
You're still going on about that
Listener dismisses the importance of the mentioned incident.
Girl you met when you were in the city oh
Referencing a girl met in the city, indicating a past relationship.
To my surprise you can't seem to let her go
Surprised that the listener struggles to let go of the past relationship.
You told her to come over right now
Similar urgent request made by the listener to the mentioned girl.
Because you were scared that you'd lose control
Listener fears losing control with the mentioned girl as well.
I guess she don't matter to you 'cause you're half asleep oh oh
Indifference towards the mentioned girl, similar to the speaker's situation.
But you don't wanna go outside
Parallel reluctance of the listener to go outside.
If you do I know it'll ruin your pride
Fear of damaging personal pride by going outside, mirroring the speaker's sentiment.
You just want to know that you're right
Listener seeks validation or assurance of being right.
I can't just tell you that you're right
The speaker is unable to affirm the listener's correctness.
And you don't know what to say
Similar feeling of being at a loss for words by the listener.
Day after day she just keeps running away
Observerving a pattern of the mentioned girl avoiding commitment or staying in one place.
When will she learn to just stay in one place
Encouraging the mentioned girl to stay in one place for personal growth.
You know it's hard but I can help you change
The speaker offers help for positive change for the mentioned girl.
I just don't know how to tell you
Repetition of the speaker's initial uncertainty in expressing desires.
What I want 'cause it's unpredictable
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of the speaker's wants.
But listen to me after all this time oh
Repeating the plea for the listener to pay attention after a period of time.
You told me to come over right now
Repetition of the urgent request made by the listener to come over.
Because you were scared that I'd lose control
Reiteration of the listener's fear of losing control.
I guess I don't matter to you 'cause you're half asleep oh oh
Reiteration of the feeling of being neglected while half asleep.
I just don't know how to tell you
Repetition of the initial uncertainty in expressing desires.
What I want 'cause it's unpredictable

But listen to me after all this time oh
Repeating the plea for the listener to pay attention after a period of time.
You told me to come over right now
Repetition of the urgent request made by the listener to come over.
Because you were scared that I'd lose control

I guess I don't matter to you 'cause you're half asleep oh oh
