Lyrics
Baby just ask once more
Expressing a desire for the listener to ask a question again.
'Cause I saw your door wide open,
Noticing an open door but highlighting the coldness of the floor.
But the floor is still freezing.
Emphasizing the uncomfortable and chilly atmosphere.
Hailey, I was sick and I'm still quite unwell.
Addressing someone named Hailey, mentioning sickness, and ongoing unwellness.
Tell me it's you or nothing at all.
Seeking confirmation that the listener is the one the singer desires, suggesting exclusivity.
'Cause I stole your soul
Claiming to have taken the listener's soul, possibly metaphorical for a deep connection.
You said I'd never be able
Recalling a past statement about inability but asserting control over the situation.
But oh, the whole world is still on my string
Feeling empowered, suggesting influence over the entire world.
Second time now and you've done this before
Noting a repeated occurrence, implying a pattern of behavior.
Drive around the back so I can't see them,
Requesting a specific action to avoid seeing something.
But you're still freezing.
Reiterating the coldness, possibly indicating emotional distance.
Let me take your coat and your keys and this car,
Symbolically offering assistance by suggesting to take possessions and responsibilities.
'Cause I?ve been unwell far too long now.
Expressing a prolonged period of unwellness.
'Cause I stole your soul
Repeating the claim of possessing the listener's soul.
You said I?d never be able
Revisiting a past statement about inability but maintaining control.
But oh, the whole world is still on my string, oh
Reaffirming a sense of influence over the world.
But oh, the whole world is still on my string
Repeating the idea of having control over the entire world.
And oh, the whole world is still on my string,
Continuing the assertion of control on a global scale.
Yeah, is still on my string
Reiterating the claim that the world is under the singer's influence.
(It's never much when I sing about you.)
Suggesting that singing about the listener doesn't yield much.
