Lyrics
Hid your passes back home
Hiding your passes on the way back home.
We took our turns with latency
Experiencing delays or obstacles, taking turns with latency.
A long long way I've outgrown
Reflecting on a significant personal growth, a long journey of self-improvement.
Now you're taking off your hat
Taking off your hat, possibly revealing something hidden.
So I can see
Allowing a clear view, transparency or openness.
But I know you'd undo me
Awareness that the other person has the power to affect or "undo" the speaker emotionally.
Oh my stars
An expression of surprise or awe.
And I'm not much for losing
Not comfortable with losing; a competitive or determined attitude.
Not one to play all my cards
Avoiding revealing all one's strategies or intentions, being strategic.
Thinking how I didn't loan the time
Regret about not investing time wisely in the past.
You pried for kisses, feeling bold
Recalling a situation where the other person sought affection boldly.
I searched for words that could be kind
Searching for kind words to express without being hasty.
Without waiting out and without letting go
Avoiding confrontation or commitment, neither waiting nor letting go.
But I know you'd undo me
Recognition that the other person holds emotional power over the speaker.
Oh my stars
Expression of surprise or awe, similar to line 8.
And I'm not much for choosing
Uncomfortable with making choices, perhaps in relationships or decisions.
Not one to play all my cards
Avoiding revealing all one's strategies or intentions, being strategic, similar to line 10.
So I'll leave you alone
Deciding to give the other person space or independence.
Skate away down the road
Metaphorically suggesting the other person should move away freely, "skate away down the road."
Humming some song that we shared
Recalling a shared song, a nostalgic or sentimental moment.
I won't step to you
Choosing not to approach the other person.
And these words are hanging loose in the
Words are unspoken or not expressed openly, hanging loosely in the atmosphere.
Night that we sat on the stairs
Reference to a specific night shared on stairs, possibly holding emotional significance.
