Lyrics

Wet dream

Refers to a dream, possibly of a sensual nature

Feels a little like a sun beam

Describing a sensation that resembles the warmth of sunlight

But the real thing

Contrasts the dreamlike feeling with reality

Can't compare in the grand scheme

Implies that the actual experience falls short when compared to the dream

Face down and back again

Suggests being in a vulnerable or submissive position, possibly emotionally

I want to be a friend

Expresses a desire to establish a friendly relationship

But I taunt a bit too much

Admits to teasing or provoking behavior that might hinder friendship

Call it quits cause it's me here in the middle

Deciding to end things due to feeling stuck or conflicted

Break down and try again

Conveys a willingness to break down emotional barriers and try again

I want to touch your skin

Expresses a desire for intimacy or closeness

But I talk a bit too much

Acknowledges talking excessively, possibly hindering closeness

Call it quits cause it's me here feeling little

Choosing to end things due to feeling inadequate or small

Hour glass

Metaphor for time passing with nothing significant achieved

Filled with nothing but hot gas

Describes the hourglass as filled with meaningless or empty content

Jam packed

Suggests a crowded or packed setting, possibly with an unsophisticated audience

Audience to see the cheap act

Indicates performing or presenting something of low value or quality

Face down and back again

Repeats the theme of vulnerability or submission

I want to be a friend

Reiterates the desire to establish friendship despite barriers

But I taunt a bit too much

Acknowledges behavior that might hinder forming friendships

Call it quits cause it's me here in the middle

Deciding to end things due to feeling stuck or conflicted (repeated theme)

Break down and try again

Expresses a willingness to break down barriers and try again (repeated theme)

I want to touch your skin

Expresses desire for intimacy or closeness (repeated theme)

But I talk a bit too much

Acknowledges talking excessively, hindering closeness (repeated theme)

Call it quits cause it's me here feeling little

Choosing to end things due to feeling inadequate or small (repeated theme)

And you walk around

Observes someone else seeming secure and confident

So safe and sound

Describes someone's outward appearance of safety and confidence

And you act like you're not face down

Notices someone pretending not to be in a vulnerable position

Not face down

Confirms observation of someone trying to hide vulnerability (repeated theme)
