Lyrics
Never really wanted you to take
Expressing a lack of desire for someone to take a particular action
Never really wanted you to tell me
Expressing a lack of desire for someone to inform or advise
But my lips don't ever tell you no so you just go on
Acknowledging a tendency to comply without verbal refusal
Never really thought that you would stay
Didn't expect the person to stay
Every little thing I do that irks me
Actions causing internal annoyance or dissatisfaction
You were always understanding and it makes me feel low
Acknowledging understanding from the other person but feeling diminished
But tonight I will give you all my senses
Committing to share all senses tonight
In the form of thought
Expressing the sharing of thoughts as a form of communication
And I hope you
Expressing hope regarding the shared experience
Don't mind it
Hoping the other person doesn't mind
Like you
Comparing to the other person's typical reactions
Always do
Highlighting a consistent behavior of the other person
It's ok if you do
Expressing acceptance if the other person minds
Though I'm really just a fragment of your life
Acknowledging a limited role in the other person's life
I hope I mean more than in my mind
Desiring to have a meaningful impact beyond imagination
I might think it's wrong but you might think what's wrong is what's right
Recognizing differing perspectives on right and wrong
Yellow flowers bloom around your neck
Visual imagery of yellow flowers around the person's neck
Rolling so I know I can keep track of
Symbolizing continuity and tracking of commitments
All the promises and favours and commitments and pacts
List of relational elements being tracked
But tonight I will give you all my senses
Reiteration of the commitment to share senses
In the form of thought
Expressing thoughts as a form of communication
And I hope you
Repeating the hope that the other person doesn't mind
Don't mind it
Comparing to the typical reactions of the other person
Like you
Highlighting a consistent behavior of the other person
Always do
Expressing acceptance if the other person minds
It's ok if you do
Repeating acceptance of the other person's potential dissatisfaction
But tonight I will give you all my senses
Reiteration of the commitment to share senses
In the form of thought
Expressing thoughts as a form of communication
And I know it's not easy to remember that I think a lot
Acknowledging the difficulty of remembering the speaker's frequent thoughts
But when I change, I'll remind you of it
Committing to remind the other person after a change
For the third time, I think I mean it
Emphasizing the sincerity of the commitment
And I hope you don't mind it
Repeating the hope that the other person doesn't mind
Like you
Comparing to the typical reactions of the other person
Always do
Highlighting a consistent behavior of the other person
It's ok if you do
Expressing acceptance if the other person minds
