Tell Me Something
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Middle Kids' 'Tell Me Something' Meaning
Lyrics
If I say it, you might go, tell me something I don't know
If I express it, you may leave; share something unknown to me
But too scared to be straight, even though it could save
Fearful of being honest, though it could bring salvation
I want to be with you, but only when I choose
I desire to be with you, but on my terms and when I decide
And I was standing there, hoping that you even cared
Standing there, hoping for your concern
You were holding on, hoping that I'd come along
You held on, expecting my arrival
But I'm not moving towards you
Not actively approaching you
And you're not moving towards me
You're not moving towards me either
Reading in between the lines, gonna make me lose my mind
Interpreting hidden meanings is causing frustration
I was there from the start, show them I was heart-to-heart
I've been genuine from the beginning, showing sincerity
I want to be with you, but only when I choose
Wanting to be with you, but only on my terms
And I was standing there, hoping that you even cared
Standing there, hoping for your concern
You were holding on, hoping that I'd come along
You held on, expecting my arrival
But I'm not moving towards you
Not actively approaching you
And you're not moving towards me
You're not moving towards me either
And I was standing there, hoping that you even cared
Standing there, hoping for your concern
You were holding on, hoping that I'd come along
You held on, expecting my arrival
But I'm not moving towards you
Not actively approaching you
And you're not moving towards me
You're not moving towards me either
Oh, my love, I've given away all that I got
Expressing the exhaustion of giving all that I have
Oh, my love, I've given away all that I got
Reiterating the exhaustion of giving all that I have
And I was standing there, hoping that you even cared
Standing there, hoping for your concern
You were holding on, hoping that I'd come along
You held on, expecting my arrival
But I'm not moving towards you
Not actively approaching you
And you're not moving towards me
You're not moving towards me either
And I was standing there, hoping that you even cared
Standing there, hoping for your concern
You were holding on, hoping that I'd come along
You held on, expecting my arrival
But I'm not moving towards you
Not actively approaching you
And you're not moving towards me
You're not moving towards me either
