Lyrics
I can see why you think you belong to me
The speaker understands why the other person feels a sense of belonging.
I never tried to make you think
The speaker never intended to manipulate or control the other person's thoughts.
Or make you see one thing for yourself
The speaker didn't try to impose their opinions; they wanted the other person to think independently.
But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone
The other person is now with someone else, leaving the speaker feeling alone.
You see I thought that I might keep you for my own
The speaker had hoped to keep the person for themselves.
Amie, what you wanna do
The speaker addresses the person named Amie and asks about their intentions.
I think I could stay with you
The speaker expresses a willingness to stay with Amie.
For a while, maybe longer, if I do?
The speaker contemplates a longer stay if Amie agrees.
Don't you think the time was right for us to find
It's suggested that it's the right time for the two to explore things considered improper before.
All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time?
Belief that what was previously considered inappropriate might become acceptable with time.
And can't you see which way we should turn together or alone
The speaker asks if they should face challenges together or separately.
I can never see what's right or what is wrong
The speaker is uncertain about distinguishing between right and wrong.
Don't you take too long to tell me?
Impatiently, the speaker urges Amie not to take too long to respond.
Amie, what you wanna do

I think I could stay with you

For a while, maybe longer, if I do?

I think I could stay with you

Now just come to what you want, you've had your way
Amie is urged to state her desires after having her way.
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
Past concerns have lost significance, becoming unclear or less important.
And you can say that I don't know if it's you or if it's me
The speaker is uncertain whether the issue lies with Amie or themselves.
If it's one of us, I'm sure we both will see
It's expected that clarity will emerge to identify the source of the problem.
Won't you look at me and tell me
The speaker asks Amie to look at them and provide an answer.
