Lyrics
I'm on your street and it's blocked off
I am on your street, and access is restricted.
All cop cars led right back to you
All police cars lead back to you, implying involvement in a situation.
I fell asleep in the car park
I fell asleep in the car park with a commitment not to move.
With the doors locked
The car doors are locked during the nap.
Promised I wouldn't move
A promise to stay in place despite the desire to move.
You know that I want to
Expressing a desire.
Believe you
Expressing trust or faith.
You would stay where you are
Hope that the person stays where they are.
I hope you know that I'm far
Awareness of distance.
Near the same bar
Near the same bar where they usually meet.
Where id run into you
Reference to a previous encounter.
I know you
Acknowledgment of knowing the person.
You think about what your heart won't say
Reflecting on unspoken feelings or thoughts.
You talk about who you think they want you to be
Talking about conforming to others' expectations.
You hidin' out cause your life's all shades of grey
Hiding due to life's complexities.
Am I someone you lie to
Questioning if the person is being lied to.
If so need you to decide who
Requesting a decision on who sustains them.
Keeps you alive cause I'd like to
Expressing a desire to be a source of support.
Show you the good in this place
Offering to show the positive aspects of life.
it never rains in the valley
Asserting that it never rains in the valley, a metaphor for stability.
If you would stay you would have me
If the person stays, they would have the speaker.
Cause You know I'm into you madly
Expressing strong attraction.
Ill Show you the good in this place
Reiterating the offer to show the positive side of life.
it never rains in LA
Reassuring that it never rains in LA, emphasizing stability.
Even tho you wanted to
Despite advice, the person wants to stay.
All your friends tell you oughta move
Friends suggest moving, but the speaker knows their decision.
But I know what your gunna do
The speaker predicts the person's actions.
I called it
A confirmation of predicting the person's behavior.
You're Fallin' asleep inside your apartment
The person is falling asleep in their own space.
Talkin' Bout all these problems I started
Talking about problems initiated by the speaker.
Stop selling your pieces of broken hearts like they're new
Advising against selling emotional vulnerabilities.
I know
Repetition of acknowledgment of knowing the person.
I know you
Blank line, potentially for emphasis or pause.
You wanna run because you're so afraid
Expressing a desire to escape due to fear.
But every turn brings you right back home to me
Despite attempts to escape, returning to the speaker.
You gotta know that the grey will start to fade
Assurance that the difficult times will improve.
