Lyrics

(We don't need to talk, talk, talk, talk, talk)

We don't need to engage in conversation excessively.

I can't breathe

The speaker is experiencing a sense of suffocation or constraint.

I'm looking over my shoulder

Feeling apprehensive and watchful.

I can't feel, when you're pulling me closer

Unable to sense while being physically drawn closer.

Cause I've been losing sleep, you've been out all night

The speaker is sleep-deprived due to someone being out all night.

And I don't wanna be your alibi

Expressing reluctance to serve as an excuse for someone's actions.

Yeah I'll be on time, when you make up your mind

Committing to punctuality when a decision is made.

You only say that you're mine, when it's 2:45

The claim of ownership is only asserted late at night.

Now I've been losing sleep, yeah

Reiteration of the impact of sleep deprivation on the speaker.

I've been losing sleep, you've been out all night

Reiteration of the impact of someone being out all night on the speaker.

We don't need to talk, we don't need to smile

Emphasizing the unnecessary nature of talking and smiling.

We've been out too late, yeah we must be tired

Attributing tiredness to being out too late.

Cause I've been feeling low like all the time

Describing a persistent feeling of sadness or melancholy.

We don't need to talk

Reiteration of the lack of need for communication.

I can't sleep

The speaker is having difficulty sleeping.

When its 4 in the morning

Highlighting the specific time of 4 in the morning during sleep disturbances.

And it feels like we're constantly falling

Expressing a sense of perpetual instability or decline in the relationship.

Over each other, I couldn't love any other

Describing a situation of constant entanglement or conflict.

But now you messed up my mind

Addressing the impact on the speaker's mental state caused by the other person.

One too many times, and

Acknowledging repeated negative influence on the speaker's mind.

We don't need to talk

Reiteration of the lack of necessity for conversation.

We don't need to talk, we don't need to smile

Emphasizing the point that talking and smiling are unnecessary.

We've been out too late, yeah we must be tired

Attributing tiredness to staying out late.

Cause I've been feeling low like all the time

Repeating the theme of persistent sadness or low feelings.

We don't need to talk

Restating the lack of need for verbal communication.
