Lyrics
I'm going as far as I can go away from here
Reiterating the intention to go far away.
Away from you Jake and the hole you've sunk me into.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the situation involving Jake.
I wish that I could belong here with you and just be
Expressing a desire to be with Jake but acknowledging complexities.
But that's not all that I'm about.
Stating that there's more to the speaker's identity than just being with Jake.
Your life is built on accidents like meeting me.
Highlighting that Jake's life is shaped by chance encounters.
You write everything down in your grocery list people do this.
Observing Jake's habit of documenting everyday things, drawing a parallel to common behavior.
Even insects buzz like airplanes why can't we fly away?
Pondering the possibility of escaping challenges similar to flying away like insects.
I'm going as far as I can go.
Reaffirming the decision to distance oneself from the current situation.
Your dad died cause his heart hurt, arking away his forty-five years,
Explaining the cause of Jake's father's death and its impact on his mother.
Dragging your mom along.
Describing the consequences of Jake's father's death.
I don't want that, neither do you. Neither do you.
Rejecting the idea of a similar fate for the speaker and Jake.
If I am not fun, and I am not interesting,
Questioning the speaker's role as fun and interesting in the relationship.
Perhaps I am not interested in you, neither are you.
Suggesting that lack of interest might be reciprocal.
You can't stand in front of an oven, cause it's warm,
Metaphorically cautioning against standing too close to something warm and dangerous.
And the fumes are dangerous.
Highlighting the risks associated with certain situations.
I'm going as far as I can go.
Repeating the determination to move away.
Away from here, away from you, Jake,
Reiterating the desire to escape from Jake and the current situation.
And the hole you've sunk me into.
Expressing a wish to belong with Jake but acknowledging the challenging circumstances.
I wish that I could belong here, with you, and just be.
Emphasizing that there's more to the speaker's plans than just being with Jake.
But that's not all that I'm about to do.
Concluding the statement that there's more to the speaker's identity and intentions.
