Lyrics
and you started to look ahead
Contemplating the future or anticipating events
you took a step back and then you, you, you
Retreating or reconsidering a decision
and you started to look afraid
Becoming fearful or anxious
you took a step back and then you, you, you
Continuing to step back, possibly from a situation or relationship
if none of it mattered
Questioning the significance of something
then why did i see you trying
Observing efforts from the other person despite claims of indifference
and why did i see you crack
Witnessing signs of emotional vulnerability or weakness
when i started to notice that you could be replaced by $20 at an adult entertainment store
Realizing a lack of value in the relationship, comparing it to a transaction
and my right hand is all i really need, you’re just kinda fun to watch
Expressing self-sufficiency and downplaying the importance of the other person
funny how you got it backwards
Highlighting a reversal of understanding or perspective
a misinterpretation at its best, we can agree
Acknowledging a misunderstanding, possibly between the speaker and the other person
I tried to tell you but you didn’t want to hear it you’re ego was in the way
Attempting to convey a truth, hindered by the other person's ego
i’m not as nervous as I may have seemed that night but I’ll give you that
Clarifying a state of mind, dispelling previous misconceptions
I never wanted it to head in this direction but like you said,
Expressing a reluctance for the situation to progress in a negative direction
that’s what you get
Accepting consequences with a resigned attitude
and you were just projecting
Attributing behaviors or emotions to the other person
said you were just projecting
Reiterating the claim of projecting by the other person
yeah i knew it the whole time
Asserting prior awareness of the other person's actions
cause i knew what i was
Expressing self-awareness and certainty about personal identity
and i know what i was
Reinforcing knowledge of one's past actions
i know what i am, i know what i am
Affirming a clear understanding of personal identity
i know what i am
Reaffirming self-awareness and certainty about personal identity
