Lyrics

Caught you in the headlights

Caught in a moment of attention or realization

Driving back from Wellfleet

Returning from Wellfleet, a location or journey

Figured we were good, I thought it was understood- if we weren't you would tell me

Assumed understanding in the relationship; open communication

Fuck if it's forever

Disregard for eternity or lasting commitment

Fuck it if it's healthy

Disregard for well-being; a willingness to embrace unhealthiness

I'll be on the move love, tryna run this groove up

Active pursuit of personal goals and ambitions

Flying round round Chelsea

Moving energetically around Chelsea, a place or symbol

I got all these packs to move

Responsibilities or tasks to accomplish

I never catch an attitude

Remaining calm and composed in challenging situations

Even when the train feels tomb-like

Enduring difficult times on a journey, maintaining composure

Even when it rains in the moonlight

Dealing with challenges even in romantic moonlit moments


Even when the spirit moves me further from you

Moving away emotionally, possibly physically

Even when the good times come with burden of proof

Challenges accompanying enjoyable moments

Even when I only love my version of you

Loving a self-constructed version of the partner

Where I can be right

A desire for being correct or justified

And you stay the night

Wishing for shared moments and connection


If you're happy for me I won't be shocked

Openness to partner's happiness without surprise

But I won't tell you that you're wrong if you're not

Acceptance of differing opinions without judgment

Cause I can't love you more than this

Limited capacity to love beyond a certain extent

I can't love you more than this and still love you

Acknowledging limits in love while still caring


Just as it was advertised

Confirming alignment with expectations

You don't have to act surprised

No need for surprise, as traits were known from the start

You knew I was bad from the outset

Acknowledging personal flaws or challenges

You don't need a man who's a housepet

Desiring a partner with independence, not dependency

I don't need an axe to grind

No intention for conflict or confrontation

Wish we weren't magnetized

Wishing for a different, less intense connection

Wish we weren't doomed to be lovebirds

Expressing a sense of fate or destiny in love

Ducking out of school to my covers

Recalling moments of intimacy or secrecy


Even when the spirit moves me further from you

Continued emotional distance despite external factors

Even when the good times come with burden of proof

Challenges persisting in joyful times, requiring proof

Even when I only love my version of you

Loving a personalized version of the partner

Where I'm still that boy

Desiring a version of oneself that brings joy to the partner

Who fills you with joy

Yearning for a joyful presence in the partner's life

I can pretend

Engaging in pretense or a facade
