Lyrics
Hey
Informal greeting
I've been afraid to say:
Expressing hesitation or fear in communicating
"Won't you come over
Requesting someone to visit at some point today
Some time today?"
Asking for a visit
Babe
An affectionate term for the person
Do you like pet names?
Asking about preferences for affectionate names
How do I be endearing
Inquiring about how to be charming without seeming cheesy
Without sounding lame?
Concern about the impact of past experiences
I've seen some things
Having witnessed significant events that changed the person
And I won't ever be the same
Expressing hope that the listener is prepared emotionally
I hope you have
Referencing the need for emotional readiness
Your sewing kit ready
Metaphorically suggesting the need for emotional repair
'Cause my patched up heart
Describing emotional vulnerability
Is bursting at the seams
Feeling overwhelmed emotionally
You're gonna have to show me
Requesting guidance in experiencing love again
How to love again
Expressing the need to learn how to love again
Wait
Requesting a pause or moment of hesitation
I don't know my body
Uncertainty or unfamiliarity with one's body
I forgot how to
Forgetting the emotional depth of intimacy
Have meaningful sex
Questioning the depth of intimacy
If
Conditionally offering to leave
This is all too much
Feeling overwhelmed emotionally
I can leave first thing
Offering to leave early if necessary
In the morning
Suggesting readiness to depart in the morning
I've seen some things
Referencing significant life-altering experiences
And I won't ever be the same
Emphasizing that past experiences have changed the person
Can you take my hands
Requesting physical guidance or reassurance
And place them where they need to be
Asking for guidance in a romantic or intimate context
If you guide this dance
Desiring direction in emotional intimacy
Then I won't step on your feet
Willingness to learn and not cause harm in the relationship
You're gonna have to show me
Requesting instruction in experiencing love anew
How to love again
Expressing the need to relearn love
