Lyrics
Speak to me without being shy
Request to communicate openly without reservation
It's pretty clear you're going through a rough time
Acknowledgment of the listener's difficult situation
And I don't even have the words to describe
Expressing difficulty in finding words to convey a feeling
Tell me why it doesn't feel right
Questioning why something feels wrong
And what's hiding behind those eyes
Curiosity about the emotions hidden in the other person's eyes
With all those little things you deny
Observing the denial of certain issues or emotions
Spread across five cities through the summer and fall
Geographical spread of experiences during summer and fall
I said I don't think you're heart's in it
Expressing doubt about the other person's commitment
You say You got me wrong, that's all
Denial or disagreement with the doubt expressed
I'm fishing for answers that'll never come
Metaphorical reference to seeking answers without expectation
Seeking help from my ten different opinions
Seeking advice from various perspectives
Spread across five cities through the summer and fall
Repetition of experiences across multiple cities
I said I don't think you're heart's in it
Reiteration of doubt regarding commitment
You say You got me wrong, that's all
Rejection of the doubt, asserting a misunderstanding
I'm fishing for answers that'll never come
Continued metaphor of fishing for elusive answers
Seeking help from my ten different opinions
Continued search for advice from different opinions
I feel you slip away
Sensing the other person drifting away emotionally
It's just my nature to make mistakes
Self-awareness of a tendency to make mistakes
And I always overcompensate
Tendency to overcompensate for mistakes
I wanna get it to you straight, no nothin'
Desire to communicate honestly and directly
We'll talk like it was in 2017
Nostalgic reference to a past year for conversation context
But I can't seem to
Difficulty in recreating a past connection
It's not the same for you
Recognition that the experience is not the same for both
Spread across five cities through the summer and fall
Repetition of experiences in different cities
I said I don't think you're heart's in it
Reiteration of doubt about the other person's commitment
You say You got me wrong, that's all
Denial or disagreement with the doubt expressed
I'm fishing for answers that'll never come
Continued metaphorical search for elusive answers
Seeking help from my ten different opinions
Continued seeking of advice from diverse perspectives
Spread across five cities through the summer and fall
Repetition of experiences across different cities
I said I don't think you're heart's in it
Expressing doubt about the other person's commitment
You say You got me wrong, that's all
Denial or disagreement with the doubt expressed
I'm fishing for answers that'll never come
Persisting in the metaphorical search for answers
Seeking help from my ten different opinions
Continued seeking of advice from various perspectives
