Lyrics
Tied up in the wrong stuff
Feeling trapped or entangled in the wrong things or situations.
When you're attracted to violence
Being drawn towards or attracted to violent tendencies or situations.
I know it's a problem
Acknowledgment of recognizing a personal issue or difficulty.
Your face is glued to the back of my eyelids
Constantly thinking about someone, their image stuck in one's mind.
And in the church basement
Being in a place (church basement) where one doesn’t fit due to personal beliefs (anarchist leanings), likely there for someone else.
With my anarchist leanings
Refers to personal beliefs or tendencies against established systems or authority.
I'm only there to see you
Attending AA meetings primarily to see a specific person.
Thursday nights at the AA meetings
Questioning why one is still waiting when the person they're waiting for doesn’t seem to want them.
And if you don't want me around
Confusion about why the person isn’t making it clear they don’t want the speaker around.
Why am I still waiting?

I should be taking a sabbatical from you

Sunday mornings, coffee with your friends before your French lessons
Participating in activities with someone's friends despite language barriers (French lessons).
And me, "Je ne sais pas"
Expressing lack of understanding in French ("I don't know").
I'm still working on that passive aggression
Still struggling with managing passive-aggressive behavior.
Two-hundred bucks a week to talk about my lack of direction?
Spending money on therapy or counseling for issues related to lack of purpose or aimlessness.
I got a bit of a complex
Feeling emotionally complicated or having unresolved issues.
In case that wasn't clear from the last three sessions

"And If you're still feeling down, be honest with yourself
Suggesting honesty regarding feelings, indicating the belief that the other person still desires the speaker's presence.
I think you still want me around"
