Lyrics
I look at the days we spent
I reflect on the time we spent together
When I had a lazy bent
During a period when I was relaxed or lethargic
And we had the kind of time
We had ample time to be leisurely
To waste our lives in bed
To spend excessive time in bed without purpose
And look at the stars instead
To gaze at the stars instead of seeking guidance
Of trying to read the signs
Rather than trying to understand signs or signals
I think of my favorite parts
I recall the moments I cherished the most
I think of our bleeding hearts
I remember our deeply emotional experiences
And whether we missed the mark
Contemplating if we failed to achieve something
You loved the fantasy
You were drawn to imagination and desired closeness
And wanted to cling to me
Wanting to hold onto me tightly
But you don’t know
You struggle to express these feelings
How to say so
You lack the ability to communicate these emotions
And I’d rather let go
I prefer to detach or move on
Say something to make me wanna walk away
Requesting a reason to leave the relationship
Treat me like a habit that you have to break
Treat me as a habit you need to break
I’ll stay lonely
I'll remain isolated or lonely
You only wanna tie me up
You solely desire to control or restrain me
Me up
Repetition for emphasis on being tied up emotionally
Me up
-You took a hold of my hands when I was on the fence
You supported me when I was uncertain
Long after your love had stopped making sense
Even after your affection lost meaning
I’ll stay lonely
I'll remain isolated or lonely
You only wanna tie me up
Reiteration of being tied up emotionally
Me up
-Me up
-I don’t want a trophy wife
I'm not seeking a superficial spouse
I don’t want a cozy life
I'm not pursuing a comfortable life
Or even a stable one
Not even a predictable or secure one
And all you offer me
You offer nothing beyond repeating patterns
Is another chance to see
Another chance to realize your limitations
That you don’t know
You struggle to release yourself emotionally
How to let go
I wish you could express it
And I wish you’d say so
Say something to make me wanna walk away
Repeated desire to be released emotionally
Treat me like a habit that you have to break
-I’ll stay lonely
-You only wanna tie me up
-Me up
Continued emphasis on being emotionally tied up
Me up
-You took a hold of my hands when I was on the fence
-Long after your love had stopped making sense
-I’ll stay lonely
-You only wanna tie me up
-Me up
-Me up
-(Tie me up
Repetition for heightened emotion of being tied up
Me up
-Me up now)
-(Tie me up
Reiteration of the emotional entanglement
Me up)
-Say something to make me wanna walk away
Repeated desire for reasons to leave emotionally
Treat me like a habit that you have to break
-I’ll stay lonely
-You only wanna tie me up
-(Tie me up
Continued emphasis on emotional entrapment
Me up)
-Say something to make me wanna walk away
Reiteration of seeking liberation from emotional ties
Treat me like a habit that you have to break
-I’ll stay lonely
-You only wanna tie me up
-Me up
Continued emphasis on being emotionally tied up
Me up
-You took a hold of my hands when I was on the fence
-Long after your love had stopped making sense
-I’ll stay lonely
Reiterated desire for emotional release
You only wanna tie me up
-Me up
-Me up
-(Tie me up
Repetition for emphasis on being emotionally tied up
Me up
-Me up now)
-Tie me up
Final plea to be released emotionally
Me up
-Me up
