Lyrics
I can't be your Posterboy
I cannot fulfill the role of being the ideal or perfect person you desire or admire.
She knows it's true
The person being referred to understands and acknowledges this fact.
Drop me in a sun-daze
Immersing myself in a carefree state of mind or leisure.
I'm going home
Returning to a place that feels like home.
Baby
An affectionate term used for the person being addressed.
Let me be your dream boy not another decoy
Expressing a desire to be the significant, genuine figure in the person's dreams, not just a mere imitation.
Baby
Reiterating the plea to be a true source of inspiration, not a substitute.
Your face is from a magazine enough to give me therapy
Complimenting the person's appearance, suggesting it has a therapeutic effect.
And that's how it starts
Describing the beginning of a situation or relationship.
In the back of your car
A specific moment in the past, possibly intimate, happening in the back of a car.
She knows it she knows it she knows it
Emphasizing the person's awareness of the situation or relationship.
She knows it she knows it she knows it
-I called her once again
Contacting the person again despite feeling overwhelmed by emotional distress.
Drowning in pain
Experiencing emotional pain or distress.
Kiss me like it's Friday
Suggesting a passionate or intense kiss, possibly as a remedy for emotional pain.
In the pouring rain
Metaphorically describing a romantic encounter in challenging conditions (pouring rain).
Baby
Using strong language to describe the person's addictive nature.
You're a fucking addict you make me wanna panic
Expressing a sense of anxiety or fear caused by the person's addictive qualities.
Baby
Comparing the person's voice to something potent and potentially harmful.
Your voice is like kerosene it burns enough to make me scream
Highlighting the intensity of emotions evoked by the person's voice.
That's how we start
Repeating the description of the beginning of a situation or relationship.
Back in your car
Revisiting a moment in the past, again happening in the back of a car.
She knows it she knows it she knows it
Reiterating the person's awareness of the situation or relationship.
She knows it she knows it she knows it
-And that's how it starts
Repeating the description of the beginning, emphasizing the setting in the back of a car.
In the back of your car
-And that's how it starts
Emphasizing the recurring nature of the described beginnings.
In the back of your car
-Baby
Reiterating the desire to be a genuine figure in the person's dreams, not a mere imitation.
Let me be your dream boy not another decoy
Repeating the plea to be a true source of inspiration, not a substitute.
Baby
Recalling the therapeutic effect of the person's face.
Your face is from a magazine enough to give me therapy
Repeating the description of the beginning of a situation or relationship.
And that's how it starts
Reiterating the person's awareness of the situation or relationship.
In the back of your car
-She knows it she knows it she knows it
Concluding with a repetition of the person's awareness of the situation or relationship.
She knows it she knows it she knows it
