Lyrics
Why don’t you come over here tonight
Expressing a desire for the person to come over tonight.
To find ourselves in one place
Suggesting a desire to connect and be together in the same place.
I’m feeling down and you feel alright lately
Describing a personal emotional state contrasted with the other person's well-being.
Our thoughts are never the same
Highlighting differences in thoughts between the speaker and the other person.
And I know I haven’t been that open
Admitting a lack of openness in the speaker's behavior.
Fact I’ve been pretty cold yea
Acknowledging being emotionally distant or cold recently.
And I don’t expect any chance from you baby
Expressing a lack of expectation for a chance or understanding from the other person.
But I just gotta know
Expressing a need for understanding despite not expecting it.
Why don’t you need me
Pleading for an explanation of why the other person doesn't need the speaker.
Why don’t you need me when I need you babe
Reiterating the question and emphasizing the need for the other person.
Yea need me
Reinforcing the desire to be needed by the other person.
We never line up with how we’re thinking
Pointing out the disconnect in thoughts between the speaker and the other person.
The way we’re feeling keeps on changing
Highlighting the inconsistency in emotions and feelings between them.
You’re in my shoes half the time
Expressing a wish for the other person to understand the speaker's perspective.
Why don’t you need me

When I need you

When I need you
Repeating the plea for the other person's presence when needed.
I’m staying up and I think all night
Describing staying awake and thinking throughout the night.
When I not once caused you pain
Asserting that the speaker hasn't caused any pain to the other person.
Yea we were one we were ride or die baby
Recalling a past time when they were deeply connected and committed.
I wish that never changed yea
Expressing regret for the change in their relationship.
And I don’t know you lately
Admitting a lack of understanding about the other person's current state.
Yea that’s what hurts me the most
Highlighting the emotional pain caused by not knowing the other person well.
And I can’t drop and leave it
Expressing an inability to move on without understanding the situation.
Babe I just gotta know
