It keeps me up (crave)
Expressing how certain things keep the singer awake, causing anxiety and lack of sleep, metaphorically linked to a machine gun's sound.
Anxiety (crave)
-Even when I'm yawnin'
-With your machine gun, brrrrmp-a-ding-ding
-I keep rollin' over (crave)

So help me (cravin')
Expressing a plea for help while feeling overwhelmed, unstable, and waiting for someone.
I'm on the sidewalk (you got me cravin')
-I'm fallin' over (you got me cravin')
-Rockin' back and forth (you got me holdin' my hand)
-So help me (cravin')
-I'm on the sidewalk (you got me cravin')

Take what you want (crave)
