Lyrics
Pressure to party, gonna stay in
Feeling pressured to socialize and attend parties, but choosing to stay in instead.
Nothing good can come from me drinking
Recognizing that drinking might lead to negative consequences or situations.
I would run, shoes off, straight back to you
Wanting to return to someone familiar, even if it means leaving a current situation.
I know where you live, I used to live there too
Knowing the location of someone important, having a shared history or connection.
Pressure to feel fine after the fact
Feeling pressured to appear fine or happy after an event or circumstance.
Out on the dance floor with my body back
Being on the dance floor, trying to physically engage despite internal feelings.
Meeting a stranger, touching his face
Meeting new people but still holding emotional connections to someone else.
I don't want anyone to ever take your place
Not wanting anyone to replace or surpass the importance of a specific person.
Pressure to go strike out on your own
Feeling pressured to pursue independence and self-discovery.
Pressure to learn from being alone
Pressure to learn and grow from solitude.
Pressure to not leave it for too long
Warning against leaving a space in life unoccupied for too long.
Before you find another heart where you belong
Concern about finding a new emotional connection or belonging.
Pressure to come up with conversation
Feeling pressure to engage in conversation despite inner struggles.
Makes the family fine with my isolation
Using isolation as a way to cope with family issues or dynamics.
I know I've locked myself in my room
Acknowledging self-isolation but planning to open up emotionally again.
But I'll open up the door and try to love again soon
Expressing a commitment to try loving again after a period of seclusion.
Try to love again soon
Reiterating the resolve to attempt love once more despite difficulties.
Try to love again soon
-Try to love again soon
-Pressure to act the right way around
Feeling pressure to conform to societal expectations in social situations.
And we're both in the crowd
Being in a crowded place with someone, feeling lost or unsure.
With people surrounding us
-What do I do?
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about the current situation.
Don't know how it works
Admitting a lack of understanding of how to navigate the circumstance.
Pressure to not let the inside of my mind
Feeling pressure to conceal internal struggles from others.
Spill onto the floor for our friends to find
Fear of revealing inner turmoil or emotions to friends.
And, oh, what do I do?
Expressing pain or distress about the situation.
'Cause God how it hurts
Describing the emotional pain felt due to the pressure.
Pressure to come up with reasons why
Feeling pressured to justify one's actions or emotions to others.
Sometimes it might look to you like I'm not even trying
Recognition that one's efforts may not be apparent or understood by others.
I know I've locked myself in my room
Reiterating the self-imposed isolation but intending to open up again emotionally.
But I'll open up the door and try to love again soon
Reaffirming the commitment to try loving again despite past struggles.
Try to love again soon
-Try to love again soon
-Try to love again soon (I, I, I)
Repeated commitment to try loving again in the future.
