Lyrics
Hey I got a heart
Expressing possession of a heart.
I found it in the backyard
Discovery of the heart in an unexpected place, the backyard.
When I couldn’t sleep cause I heard a scream
Difficulty sleeping due to a disturbing sound (scream).
So i took a walk and it followed me
Taking a walk, and the heart metaphorically follows.
Right to the end of the one way street
Reaching the end of a one-way street, possibly symbolizing a dead-end.
Where I hit my friend the other week
Recalling a recent incident where the singer harmed a friend.
And for a minute there swear I was blind
Feeling temporarily blinded during the incident.
He said I don’t mind if you don’t mind
The friend expressing acceptance, "I don’t mind if you don’t mind."
No I don’t mind if you don’t mind
Reiteration of mutual acceptance and understanding.
Hey I got a heart
Repetition of having a heart, emphasizing its discovery.
I found it in the backyard
Reiteration of finding the heart in the backyard.
For a minute there swear I was blind
Recalling a moment of temporary blindness.
But I still shine from time to time
Despite challenges, still shining occasionally.
I get mad about what I can’t have
Expressing frustration about unattainable desires.
And I hate it that I’m like that
Disliking one's own characteristics and behavior.
Stopped looking for the last escape
Stopping the search for an escape, acknowledging reality.
When I realised there were no gates
Realization that there are no easy solutions or escapes.
Cause at 22 he got his way
Referring to someone who achieved their goals at the age of 22.
Down from the stairs we used to play
Recalling shared memories from childhood.
A little too much pain than he could afford
Describing a person facing more pain than they could handle.
And a little help from an extension cord
Detailing a tragic event involving an extension cord.
Hey I got a heart
Repetition of having a heart, reinforcing its significance.
I found it in the backyard
Reiteration of finding the heart in the backyard.
For a minute there swear I was blind
Recalling a moment of temporary blindness.
But I still shine from time to time
Despite challenges, still shining occasionally.
Hey I got a heart
Repetition of having a heart, emphasizing its discovery.
I found it in the backyard
Reiteration of finding the heart in the backyard.
For a minute there swear I was blind
Recalling a moment of temporary blindness.
But I still shine from time to time
Despite challenges, still shining occasionally.
