Lyrics
They tried to tell you to slow down, but you moved too fast
Advisors warned to slow down, but the person moved too quickly.
Your mind was a freight train, and you were right on track
The individual's mind was focused and determined, like a freight train on the right path.
And I hold you back, cause I'm stuck in this town
The speaker is hindering the person's progress due to being stuck in their current town.
Even I know that, cause I'm stuck in this town
Reiterating that the speaker is a limitation because of being stuck in the town.
Ever since September when you left me all alone
The person left the speaker in September, causing feelings of loneliness.
It feels like I've been drowning baby, staring at that phone
The speaker feels overwhelmed and isolated, yearning for communication.
Girl I try to hide it but I'm no good on my own
Despite efforts to conceal emotions, the speaker struggles to be alone.
I know folks are asking what you're doing with a boy like me
Others question why the person is involved with the speaker, who only has a guitar.
All I got is this guitar, and you're bound for the Ivy Leagues
The person is destined for Ivy League success, contrasting with the speaker's situation.
And I know that I hold you back, cause I'm stuck in this town
The speaker acknowledges holding the person back due to their location.
Yeah we've been through that, I'm just stuck in this town

Ever since September when you left me all alone
Repetition of the emotional impact since September when the person left.
It feels like I've been drowning baby, staring at the phone
Continued feelings of drowning and yearning for connection.
I've been walking around through this small town and I need some room to grow
Expressing a desire for personal growth and space in the small town.
So am I too late or could you take me with you with you go?
Questioning if it's too late for the person to take the speaker along on their journey.
Ever since September when you left me all alone
Reiteration of the emotional impact since September, intensifying suffocating feelings.
It feels like I've been suffocating, staring at that phone
Continued suffocating feelings, emphasizing the impact of the person's absence.
I've been thinking about you day and night and I just need to know
Intense thoughts about the person day and night, seeking clarity on the relationship.
Well am I too late or could you take me with you with you go?
Pleading with the person to consider taking the speaker along on their journey.
Well is this my fate or could you take me with you with you go?
