Fine on My Own
Embracing Independence: Fine on My Own by Phantom Planet
Lyrics
Yeah, I hear you talking baby
Expressing awareness of someone's communication
I see you going crazy
Observing the person's behavior becoming erratic
But it's not over me
Stating that the emotional impact is not affecting the speaker
So don't you tell me that I'm hanging around cause of you
Rejecting the notion that the speaker is present due to the other person
So don't you tell me that I'm hanging around cause of you
Reiteration of independence and not being influenced by the other
'Cause I know you haven't got a clue
Asserting that the other person lacks understanding
And I'm fine on my own
Declaring contentment and self-sufficiency
Without you
Emphasizing the ability to be okay without the other person
Yeah, you hear me talking baby
Reiteration of the speaker's communication and actions
You see me going crazy
Reiterating the observation of the speaker's emotional state
But it's not over you
Contradicting the idea that the emotions are directed towards the other person
So don't you tell me that I'm hanging around cause of you
Rejecting the assumption of lingering around due to the other
So don't you tell me that I'm hanging around cause of you
Restating independence and knowledge of the situation
'Cause I know you haven't go a clue
Affirming the other person's lack of understanding
And I'm fine on my own
Reasserting contentment and self-sufficiency
Without you
Reaffirming the ability to be fine without the other person
So don't you tell me that I'm hanging around cause of you
Rejecting the notion of being present due to the other person
So don't you tell me that I'm hanging around cause of you
Reiterating the rejection of being present due to the other
'Cause I know you haven't got a clue
Affirming the lack of understanding on the other person's part
And I'm fine on my own
Reiterating contentment and self-sufficiency
Without you
Emphasizing independence and being okay without the other
Yeah, I know you haven't got a clue
Reaffirming the other person's lack of understanding
And I'm fine on my own
Reasserting contentment and self-sufficiency
Without you
Stating the ability to be fine without the other person
Yeah, I'm
Concluding affirmation of the speaker's independence
