Lyrics
Ava talks so slow in the night time
Ava speaks slowly during the night.
When the lights are low and she looks sublime
Her appearance is especially attractive when the lights are dim.
Anytime, anytime
The allure of Ava is present at any time.
I'm not too good at playing sports
The speaker is not skilled at sports.
That's why the ball is in your court
The responsibility or decision lies with someone else (possibly Ava).
As she walks up to the bar
Describing Ava approaching a bar.
I can't reach her
The speaker cannot reach Ava.
She's just a bit too far
Ava is just out of reach.
And my arms cannot pull her close
The speaker cannot physically draw Ava close, as if she is intangible.
They go right through her
The speaker's arms go through Ava, like she's a ghost.
Like she's a ghost
Ava is intangible or elusive.
I can feel her
The speaker can still feel Ava, though faintly.
Almost
There is an almost tangible connection.
I wanna make her mine
The speaker desires to make Ava his.
But I don't think I have the spine
However, he doubts his courage or commitment for such a divine connection.
To commit to something so divine
Committing to a profound relationship seems challenging.
But it's fine
Despite the challenges, the speaker is accepting of the situation.
But she's so obsessed with being depressed
Ava seems fixated on being depressed.
I'm salivating as I cry
The speaker finds a strange pleasure in crying, possibly due to Ava's state.
That's why I'm waiting till I die
Expressing a willingness to wait for death.
My head's too crowded for myself
The speaker's mind is preoccupied, leaving little space for self-reflection.
That's why there's no room for someone else
No capacity for someone else in the speaker's crowded thoughts.
I'm not too good at playing sports
Reiteration of the speaker's lack of skill in sports.
That's why the ball is in your court
The decision or responsibility is once again with someone else (possibly Ava).
I've always sucked at playing sports
Highlighting the speaker's perpetual lack of sportsmanship.
So the ball is in your court
Repeating the idea that someone else has control or responsibility.
I don't think she has the spine
Doubting Ava's commitment or courage.
To dedicate all of her time
Ava may not be willing to invest all her time in a relationship.
She's in her world and I'm in mine
They inhabit different worlds, but the speaker is accepting of this.
But it's fine
Despite differences, the speaker remains content with the situation.
It's fine
Acceptance of the circumstances.
