Lyrics
Recognize the sound
Recognizing the sound, possibly of knocking
Your knuckles against my door
Hearing someone knocking on the door using their knuckles
I know that cry for help
Understanding the plea or call for assistance
I know it well
Familiarity with the distress signal, indicating repeated encounters
Promised myself you'd stay outside
Making a commitment to keeping the person outside
Don't have the restraint
Lacking the self-control to enforce the commitment
To tell you to figure it out
Unable to instruct the person to solve their problems alone
Alone
Being left to deal with the situation by oneself
Can't bring myself to say goodbye
Struggling to bid farewell or end the relationship
Don't know how to say no
Difficulty in refusing or denying the person's requests
When you come around
When the person returns
Again and again and again
Repetitive visits of the same person
User using me
Feeling used or exploited by the individual
Need another dose to carry on
Requiring another interaction to continue functioning
Need another hit to stay afloat
Needing another 'hit' or action to keep going
User using me
Being used or taken advantage of by the individual
Need another dose to row along
Requiring more engagement to move forward
Need another hit
Needing another 'hit' to maintain stability
To stay above the waves
Keeping oneself above troubling situations
Recognize the scene
Understanding the situation or scenario
You're pleading on your knees
Seeing someone pleading earnestly while on their knees
I know that speech you give
Being familiar with the plea or argument made
For me to let you in
Asking for permission to enter after previous promises
Promised you last time was the last
Assurance that the last time was indeed the final occasion
Don't have the strength
Lacking the strength to maintain boundaries
To lock you out and keep my word
Unable to prevent the individual from re-entering and breaking promises
For good
Permanently or definitively
For good
Permanently or definitively (repeated)
Can't bring myself to say goodbye
Struggling to say goodbye or end the relationship
Don't know how to say no
Difficulty in refusing or denying the person's requests (repeated)
When you come around
When the person returns (repeated)
Again and again and again
Recurring visits of the same person (repeated)
User using me
Feeling used or exploited by the individual (repeated)
Need another dose to carry on
Requiring another interaction to continue functioning (repeated)
Need another hit to stay afloat
Needing another 'hit' or action to keep going (repeated)
User using me
Being used or taken advantage of by the individual (repeated)
Need another dose to row along
Requiring more engagement to move forward (repeated)
Need another hit
Needing another 'hit' to maintain stability (repeated)
To stay above the waves
Keeping oneself above troubling situations (repeated)
User using me
Feeling used or exploited by the individual (repeated)
Need another dose to carry on
Requiring another interaction to continue functioning (repeated)
Need another hit to stay afloat
Needing another 'hit' or action to keep going (repeated)
User using me
Being used or taken advantage of by the individual (repeated)
Need another dose to row along
Requiring more engagement to move forward (repeated)
Need another hit
Needing another 'hit' to maintain stability (repeated)
To stay above the waves
Keeping oneself above troubling situations (repeated)
