Lyrics
There's nothing for me behind your eyes
There's a lack of genuine emotion or connection when looking into your eyes.
That only took a closer look to realize
Upon closer examination, I've realized this absence of sincerity.
I'm reassessing your probing hands
I'm evaluating your intrusive or searching actions.
Is it too late to make revisions to the plan
Is it too late to modify our plans?
It's nights like these and girls like you
Referring to specific nights and individuals who challenge my idealistic view of romance.
Who mess with my romantic view on
Girls like you who disrupt my romantic perspective.
Nights like these and girls like you
Reiteration of the impact of certain nights and girls on the narrator's romantic notions.
Who only hear what they wanna hear
Girls who selectively listen to what aligns with their desires.
And won't take no for an answer
Unwillingness to accept refusal or rejection.
You only hear what you wanna hear
Repetition of the theme of selective hearing and resistance to rejection.
And won't take no for an answer
Continued resistance to accepting a negative response.
Before we do this, may I suggest
Before proceeding, a suggestion to test the Manic Pixie Dream Girl (MPDG) theory.
We put my MPDG theory to the test
Proposing a role where the listener is the savior, and the narrator is a task.
You'll be the saviour and I'll be your task
An acknowledgment of a recurring pattern where the narrator reveals their true self.
Somehow I always end up ripping off my mask
The narrator consistently exposes their true identity during certain situations.
On nights like these for girls like you
Reiteration of the impact of specific nights and girls on the narrator's romantic perspectives.
Who only hear what they wanna hear
Girls who choose to hear only what suits their desires.
And won't take no for an answer
Persisting in not accepting a negative response.
You only hear what you wanna hear
Repetition of the theme of selective hearing and resistance to rejection.
And won't take no for an answer
Continued resistance to accepting a negative response.
You only hear what you wanna hear
Emphasis on the listener's tendency to hear only what they want.
You only hear what you wanna hear
Repetition of the idea that the listener hears selectively.
And won't take no for an answer
Persisting in not accepting a negative response.
You only hear what you wanna hear
Repetition of the theme of selective hearing and resistance to rejection.
And won't take no, won't take no for an answer
Emphasizing the listener's persistent refusal to accept a negative response.
