Lyrics
Hey miss can't hold the phone
Addressing a woman unable to answer the phone
I know you take for granted
Not appreciating or recognizing something valuable
It's hard to see that what you've done
Acknowledging the difficulty in realizing the negative impact of her actions
Has killed the seed your father has planted
Referring to the harm caused to familial values or legacy
There's a feeling weighing down your mind
Describing a burden on her thoughts
That you're just here wastin' my time
Implying that she might be wasting the speaker's time
And now something's missin' or I'm missin' something
Expressing a sense of loss or confusion
I feel alone right next to you
Feeling emotionally isolated despite physical proximity
You barely even notice me
Her lack of attention to the speaker
I feel alone right next to you
Reiteration of feeling alone while near her
So put down that damn machine
Requesting her to stop using a distracting device
Hey miss can't hold your own
Addressing her inability to stand on her own
You're holding our division
Reference to a divisive influence she has
You look down while life's up here
Her focus on trivial matters while important things happen
To make all of your decisions
Alluding to her poor decision-making
There's a feelin' crawlin' up your spine
Describing an unsettling sensation in her
Living half of your life on the line
Living a significant part of life in uncertainty
That something's missin' or you're missin' something
Indicating a sense of lacking or incompleteness
I feel alone right next to you
Repeating the feeling of isolation despite proximity
You barely even notice me
Highlighting her apparent disregard for the speaker
I feel alone right next to you
Restating the emotional distance experienced by the speaker
So put down that damn machine
Encouraging her to put away a distracting device
The way you look without lookin' at me
Observing her nonchalant appearance
Smilin' out the side of your teeth
Noticing insincerity or hidden feelings in her smile
And you, you never meant it
Suggesting she never genuinely meant something
It wasn't love it was a status change
Describing a past relationship as a mere change in status
On your world wide profile, your page
Referring to a public declaration on social media
Saying you, you'd never get it
Expressing doubt about her sincerity
And now, I feel alone right next to you
Reiterating the feeling of loneliness despite her presence
You barely even notice me
Highlighting her lack of awareness towards the speaker
And I feel alone, right next to you
Reaffirming the emotional isolation experienced
So put down that damn machine
Repeating the request to stop using a distracting device
So put down that damn machine
Reiterating the plea to put away a distracting device
