Lyrics

Should I call

Contemplating whether to make a call

Don't wanna bother

Expressing hesitance to cause inconvenience

Am I the deadbeat father-

Questioning if perceived as an absent or neglectful father

Never on the way?

Reflecting on a consistent absence or unreliability


It's getting harder

Feeling increasing difficulty or challenges

Take a pill but I

Taking medication but experiencing unchanged emotions

Always feel the same

Continued emotional struggles despite attempts to alleviate


Don't remember where I am

Memory lapse about current location

But who's to blame?

Questioning accountability for current situation

Can you tell me my name

Seeking confirmation of personal identity


I wish that I could be your girl

Expressing a desire to be someone special to the listener

I wish that I could be her

Yearning to be like another person

Wish I could step inside your world

Expressing a wish to enter the listener's world

I wish that I could be your girl

Desire to be a significant person in the listener's life


I'm a fool

Acknowledging foolish behavior

Like the night

Comparing oneself to the night, possibly suggesting darkness or obscurity

If the sun will leave

Anticipating departure if the listener, represented by the sun, leaves

So will you

Linking the listener's departure to the sun setting

Watched you baby

Observing the listener, possibly a romantic interest

Nothing's the same

Stating that nothing is the same after observing the listener

Can you tell me my name

Repetition of seeking confirmation of personal identity


I wish that I could be your girl

Reiteration of the desire to be someone special to the listener

I wish that I could be her

Repeating the yearning to be like another person

Wish I could step inside your world

Reiteration of the wish to enter the listener's world

I wish that I could be your girl

Repeating the desire to be a significant person in the listener's life


I know I fall on even ground

Acknowledging personal shortcomings and vulnerability

But if you took the time

Expressing willingness to change given the opportunity

I could come around

Believing that positive change is possible


I wish that I could be your girl

Reiteration of the desire to be someone special to the listener

I wish that I could be her

Repeating the yearning to be like another person

Wish I could step inside your world

Reiteration of the wish to enter the listener's world

I wish that I could be your girl

Repeating the desire to be a significant person in the listener's life
