Lyrics
I shoulda known better
Expressing regret for not making a better decision
Than standing at your door
Reflecting on a moment of standing at someone's door
I shoulda known better
Reiterating regret for not making a wiser choice
‘Cause I been here before
Acknowledging past experiences that should have informed a better decision
My eyes get wetter
Expressing emotional response with tears
To see his bullet bike on the wall
Noticing a bullet bike on the wall, possibly connected to a person
I shoulda known better
Repeating the acknowledgment of making a better choice
I shoulda known better
Reinforcing the idea of hindsight and missed opportunities
Oh, so tonight I’m selling my soul
Deciding to metaphorically sell one's soul, suggesting a drastic action
Gonna pass my body around
Intending to engage in reckless behavior, implying a lack of inhibition
No going back, I’m outta control
Committing to a course of action with no possibility of return
I don’t got to think of you now
Stating a disregard for thinking about someone in the past
Anyhow
Adding "anyhow" to emphasize the nonchalant attitude
And I want you to feel like it always
Expressing a desire for someone to always feel a certain way
And I want you to feel like it always
Repeating the desire for a consistent emotional response
I shoulda known better
Reiterating regret for a specific action, possibly related to a person's door
Than standing at your door
Reflecting on a recurring situation of standing at someone's door
I shoulda known better
Emphasizing the regret for not learning from past experiences
‘Cause I been here before
Highlighting familiarity with a situation that should have been avoided
My eyes get wetter
Expressing heightened emotion with tears
To see his bullet bike on the wall
Noting the presence of a bullet bike on the wall, possibly linked to regret
I shoulda known better
Reiterating the acknowledgment of making a better choice
I shoulda known better
Reinforcing the idea of hindsight and missed opportunities
I’m gonna be this fucked up for days
Anticipating being emotionally disturbed for an extended period
Gonna hurt if I ever come down
Expecting emotional pain upon returning to reality
Bye bye bye bye!
Repeatedly saying "bye" suggests detachment or escape
I’m a lovebust castaway
Describing oneself as a lovebust castaway, feeling abandoned
And I’m almost forgetting you now, now, now
Almost forgetting someone, indicating emotional detachment
Anyhow, how, how
Emphasizing the nonchalant attitude with "anyhow"
And I want you to feel like it always
Expressing a desire for someone to always feel a certain way
And I want you to feel like it always
Repeating the desire for a consistent emotional response
I should known!
Stating a realization or acknowledgment ("I should have known!")
