Lyrics

I guess i called you down, from the cloud you were raised on

The singer feels they brought someone down from a high position or idealized state.

The streets around me shut down, still you know the one to meet on

Despite the surroundings being inactive, there's a specific place to meet.

Cuz im sending out a lesson to the one who keeps on looking through the glass frame

Expressing a message to someone who continuously observes from a distance.

at your name

Focusing on the person's name seen through a glass frame.

Trying to find the words instead, I carve the words inside my head

Struggling to articulate feelings, resorting to internalizing thoughts.

Heads are rollin, eyes are closing, I'll decide the game

Feeling in control of a situation despite chaos around.


Dont, dont say that you dont

Encouraging the person not to deny or reject their feelings.

Dont say that you wont, dont say that you dont wanna be here

Asking the person not to express unwillingness to be present.

Sittin next to me, between the tv screen

Describing a shared space and questioning the desire for this arrangement.

How could i ever wanted this to be

Repeated expression of disbelief or regret about the situation.

How could i ever wanted this to be

How could i ever wanted this to be

I guess you called your dad, to come pick you up and leave me behind because

Speculating that the person called their father to leave the singer behind.

You know it makes me sad, from the day you left to the day you arrived

Highlighting the impact of the person's departure and arrival on the singer's emotions.

Ive been waiting for a day like this, 25 cents in my pocket

Waiting with very little money, hoping to reassure the person it's fine.

Whisper to you and say that it's okay

Trying to offer comfort or solace to the departing person.


You stare at me with a wink in your eye, tellin me to just look at the sky hoping again that ill see you someday

The person encourages the singer to remain hopeful for a reunion.

How could i ever wanted this to be

Continued disbelief or regret about the situation.

How could i ever wanted this to be

Dont, dont say that you dont

Similar to line 8, urging not to deny feelings of being present.

Dont say that you wont, dont say that you dont wanna be here

Reiterating the request not to express unwillingness to be present.

Sittin next to me, between the tv screen

Describing the shared space again and questioning the desire for it.

How could i ever want this to be

Repeating disbelief or regret regarding the situation.

How could i ever want this
