Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like an enemy
Expressing a sense of being perceived as an adversary
When I see you portray all of your love to me
Observing the partner displaying affection but feeling disconnected
And I stare in blank, respond with nothing back
Reacting with silence and emptiness to the partner's expressions
If I don't leave this city, I'll never move away
Contemplating leaving the current city to progress in life
This town’s got no bright eyes, and I'm too young to stay
Criticizing the lack of opportunities in the current town for personal growth
I hate all the limelight, but I wish you’d give me more
Disliking attention but desiring more acknowledgment from the partner
And they might call us crazy, and say that we’re fools
Anticipating societal judgment but rejecting conventional life norms
But we don’t play our lives by the same old damn rules
Choosing to live life differently from conventional expectations
And I get If it takes you a few thousand years
Understanding and accepting the time it may take for the partner to express love
To declare all of your dear love to me, but I love you
Professing love despite the potential delay in reciprocation
My mother told me son sometimes
Advice from the mother about life's challenges
You cannot win at life all the time
Acknowledging that winning consistently in life is not always possible
But hold your breath, for some girl will take it away
Warning about the possibility of someone taking away happiness
And she won't be dressed in a dress and heels
Rejecting conventional appearances in a potential partner
She might seem pretty and witty underneath
Highlighting the importance of inner beauty and wit
And when she talks, you'll get shy, with no words to say
Describing the effect of the mysterious girl's words on the speaker
And they might call us crazy, and say that we’re fools
Expecting societal criticism but remaining defiant
But we don’t play our lives by the same old damn rules
Reiterating the rejection of conventional life rules
And I get If it takes you a few thousand years
Repeating the understanding of the time needed for love declaration
To declare all of your dear love to me, but I love you
Reaffirming love despite the potential delay
Our friends all against us, it’s all on the line
Facing opposition from friends, emphasizing the stakes
They call us both crazy, I differ thousand times
Disputing the label of "crazy" in the face of criticism
For if I’ve gone mad, darling I’d never go back
Expressing a commitment to newfound madness if it means not going back
I've been looking my whole damn life
Searching for answers throughout life and finding them in the partner's eyes
And I’ve found all my answers in your eyes
Affirming that the partner holds all the answers
I'm done my adventures, I’ve found you and that's enough
Concluding adventures after finding fulfillment in the relationship
And they might call us crazy, and say that we’re fools
Anticipating societal judgment but remaining steadfast in the chosen path
But we don’t play our lives by the same old damn rules
Reiterating the rejection of societal norms in life decisions
And I get If it takes you a few thousand years
Repeating the acknowledgment of the time required for love declaration
To declare all of your dear love to me, but I love you
Reaffirming love despite the potential delay
