Wrong Place
Mismatched Hearts: Wrestling with Distance and Desire
Lyrics
Waking up and it’s too cold between my sheets
Feeling discomfort and emotional distance waking up alone.
Lonely side of 1 am
Experiencing loneliness during the late hours.
Fighting with myself over whether I should call you
Internal struggle about reaching out to the person in question.
Back and forth and back again
Engaging in indecisive communication or actions.
It’s heavy acting so casual
Pretending to be casual despite genuine emotions.
When actually I don’t want that at all
Expressing a desire contrary to the facade of casualness.
We just keep playing these games
Continuing a pattern of playing emotional games.
Both of us too proud to say
Both individuals unwilling to admit fault or vulnerability.
I’m in my bed, you’re in yours
Physical separation but emotional connection still exists.
One of us is in the wrong place, one of us is in the wrong place
Acknowledging one person is not where they should be emotionally.
Be here now, knock down my door
Desire for the other person to be present and engaged.
One of us is in the wrong place, one of us is in the wrong place
Repeating the theme of someone being emotionally misplaced.
I don’t like the realization that I miss you
Unpleasant realization of missing the other person.
Needy is an loaded word
Acknowledging sensitivity to the term "needy."
But I’m a little more myself when I’m with you
Feeling more authentic and true to oneself in the presence of the other.
For whatever that’s worth
Questioning the value of this genuine self in the context of the relationship.
It’s heavy acting so casual
Continuing the act of pretending to be casual.
When actually I don’t want that at all
Expressing the desire for authenticity instead of casual pretense.
Wish we could stop playing these games
Expressing a wish to end the emotional games being played.
Get rid of all this space
Desire to eliminate emotional distance and barriers.
I’m in my bed, you’re in yours
Reiterating the physical separation and emotional misplacement.
One of us is in the wrong place, one of us is in the wrong place
Repeating the acknowledgment of emotional misplacement.
Be here now, knock down my door
Reiterating the desire for the other person's presence.
One of us is in the wrong place, one of us is in the wrong place
Repeating the theme of emotional misplacement.
Which one of us is gonna fess up? Don’t wanna mess up this thing we’ve got going
Prompting a confession from one of the individuals to avoid damaging the relationship.
Which one of us is gonna fess up? Don’t wanna mess up this thing all I know is
Reiterating the importance of honesty to preserve the relationship.
I’m in my bed, you’re in yours
Reiterating the physical and emotional separation.
One of us is in the wrong place, one of us is in the wrong place
Repeating the acknowledgment of emotional misplacement.
Be here now, knock down my door
Reiterating the desire for the other person's presence.
One of us is in the wrong place, one of us is in the wrong place
Repeating the theme of emotional misplacement.
