Lyrics
When you fall asleep with lights on
Reference to falling asleep with lights on
And the windows all are closed
Describing closed windows in the sleeping environment
Then you'll never know what time it is
Highlighting the disorientation of time when asleep with lights on
Until you wake and check your phone
Linking waking up to checking the phone for the time
And draw the blinds
Action of drawing blinds to see the moon outside
See the moon outside
Observing the moon during the afternoon
In the afternoon
Contrasting the expected time of moon visibility
When you're lying in the feeling
Describing a feeling while lying down with an overdue book
Of a book that's overdue
Expressing a sense of being stuck in a book and the resulting panic
And you get stuck
Acknowledging being stuck in a situation
And panic sets in
Describing the onset of panic
And you know that someone's waiting somewhere
Indicating awareness of someone waiting and feeling disappointed
Disappointed
Expressing the emotion of disappointment
Left the porch light on
Noting the porch light left on as a signal
So don't wait up
Advising not to wait up
Lock the door
Suggesting to lock the door with reassurance of a spare key
I've got a spare key
Offering a spare key
So don't lose sleep
Encouraging not to lose sleep over something insignificant
Over something
Referring to the speaker as insignificant (Me)
As insignificant as (Me)
Expressing honesty and lack of deception
I'd never lie
Declaring a commitment to truthfulness
Or tell you something I don't feel
Expressing a change in self-perception
I guess that I don't see myself in that way
Denying seeing oneself in a certain way anymore
Anymore
Indicating a shift in self-perception
When your starry moon-eyed friends
Describing friends as starry moon-eyed and happy
Are all out glittering and happy
Highlighting the happiness of friends
And you try not to resent them
Acknowledging efforts not to resent happy friends
Cuz you know you'll never be
Expressing the realization of not achieving the same happiness
That happy
Advising not to wait up with reassurance of a spare key
So don't wait up
Encouraging to lock the door and providing a spare key
Lock the door
Reiterating the message not to lose sleep over anyone
I've got a spare key
Reaffirming the availability of a spare key
So don't lose sleep
Advising not to lose sleep over the speaker (Me)
Over anyone
Repeating the commitment to honesty
Especially not (Me)
Denying seeing oneself in a certain way anymore
I'd never lie
Reiterating a commitment to truthfulness
Or tell you something I don't feel
Declaring a shift in self-perception
I guess that I don't see myself in that way
Denying seeing oneself in a certain way anymore
Anymore
Expressing a reluctance to try
I'll never try
Advising not to tell others how to feel
Or tell you not to feel
Denying seeing certain qualities in oneself
Something that I don't see in myself in that way
Expressing a reluctance to see certain qualities in oneself
Anymore
Indicating a shift in self-perception
I guess that I don't want to see myself
Expressing an unwillingness to confront one's own identity
Anymore
Reiterating a reluctance to see oneself
