Less Than Strangers
Fading Echoes of Love: Maxwell LeVan's Less Than Strangers Tale
Lyrics
Run away with me and we'll make it
Expressing a desire to run away together for a better future.
Look up at the sky, we can take it
Suggesting optimism by looking at the sky and facing challenges.
Show me all the ways to love right now and
Requesting to demonstrate various ways of expressing love immediately.
I ran away with no hesitation
Indicating a quick decision to run away without hesitation.
But you cut me off and got famous
Highlighting a sudden separation and the other person achieving fame.
Giving me all the wasted love right now
Receiving love that feels wasted or unfulfilling.
If you thought we were learning to walk, well then
Suggesting a failed attempt at learning and progressing together.
Run away 'cause I'm falling apart
Encouraging running away due to personal struggles and falling apart.
And I guess we're less than strangers now and
Reflecting on the relationship deteriorating to the point of feeling like strangers.
If you thought I was playing along with it
Addressing suspicions about the other person's sincerity in the relationship.
Faking love just to make it at night
Acknowledging the act of pretending love for survival.
Well I guess we're less than strangers now
Confirming the feeling of being complete strangers at present.
Teenage nights becoming a blur
Recalling blurred memories of teenage nights and emotional confusion.
And now I'm popping whatever trying to get over her
Describing attempts to cope with heartbreak through substance use.
And I'm ahead of my time but I'm a head with no mind
Feeling ahead in time but lacking emotional clarity.
You got me terrified
Expressing fear or anxiety caused by the situation.
One look is all it takes now
Stating the impact of a single glance on understanding the other person.
And I got you figured all the way out
Claiming to have a complete understanding of the other person.
If you thought we were learning to walk, well then
Reiterating the failed attempt to learn and grow together.
Run away 'cause I'm falling apart
Encouraging another plea to run away due to personal struggles.
And I guess we're less than strangers now and
Repeating the theme of feeling like strangers in the relationship.
If you thought I was playing along with it
Questioning the sincerity of the other person in the relationship.
Faking love just to make it at night
Acknowledging the pretense of love for survival during difficult times.
Well I guess we're less than strangers now
Confirming the current status of being less than strangers.
Already broken, there's no way home
Describing a sense of brokenness with no clear path to recovery.
I'll let emotion take all control
Allowing emotions to take control, possibly leading to impulsive decisions.
If you thought we were learning to walk, well then
Repeating the theme of unsuccessful attempts to learn and progress together.
Run away 'cause I'm falling apart
Encouraging another plea to run away due to personal struggles.
And I guess we're less than strangers now and
Reiterating the theme of feeling like strangers in the relationship.
If you thought I was playing along with it
Questioning the sincerity of the other person in the relationship.
Faking love just to make it at night
Acknowledging the pretense of love for survival during difficult times.
Well I guess we're less than strangers now
Confirming the current status of being less than strangers.
If you thought we were learning to walk, well then
Reiterating the failed attempt to learn and grow together.
Run away 'cause I'm falling apart
Encouraging another plea to run away due to personal struggles.
And I guess we're less than strangers now and
Repeating the theme of feeling like strangers in the relationship.
If you thought I was playing along with it
Questioning the sincerity of the other person in the relationship.
Faking love just to make it at night
Acknowledging the pretense of love for survival during difficult times.
Well I guess we're less than strangers now
Confirming the current status of being less than strangers.
