Lyrics
Next to you yeah I feel insane
Feeling a sense of madness when close to the person
Silly thoughts flying through my brain
Random and playful thoughts crossing the mind
Because space and time
Reflection on the abstract nature of space and time
Are a blurry line
Blurred boundaries between past and present
Been alone I been attached
Experience of both solitude and connection
Yea I know you're cool with that
Awareness that the person is comfortable with attachment
My fight or flight
Reference to a moment of decision-making or panic
Kicked in that night
Intense reaction during a specific night
We were dancing
Engaged in dancing
On the rooftop
Dancing on a rooftop
Of your neighbor's
The location is the neighbor's house in Brooklyn
House in Brooklyn
Continuation of the dance scene
We were dancing we were dancing
Repetition of the dancing experience
We don't dance anymore anymore anymore
Not engaging in dancing as before
I don't wanna be around you
Expressing a desire to avoid being around the person
If I can't hold you baby I'll astound you
If physical closeness is not possible, aiming to impress
And I'll run away
Expressing a tendency to run away
Can't make me stay
Resisting attempts to be made to stay
Here where everybody wants me
Being in a situation where many people desire attention
Fuckin' with me now but you never wanna touch me
Contrasting attention without genuine connection
Like a tidal wave
Metaphorically comparing a situation to a tidal wave
Can't make me stay
Refusing to be compelled to stay
Here
Reiteration of the desire to leave
Woah Oh oh oh oh oh
Repeating a vocal expression
Oh Woah Oh oh oh oh oh
Continuation of the vocal expression
I'm here to scratch this itch I've had all my life
Expressing a long-standing urge or desire
You're the one tying me to it holding the knife
Feeling controlled or influenced by the person
I worked hard for the choice to think for myself oh
Having earned the right to independent thinking
I sing to have a voice note to sit on a shelf oh
Singing to assert individuality rather than being passive
In the halls of your apartment
Location where an intimate moment occurred
We were dancing like little children
Revisiting a carefree dancing experience
We were dancing we were dancing
Repetition of the joyful dancing
We don't dance anymore anymore anymore
Not engaging in dancing as in the past
I don't wanna be around you
Expressing the reluctance to be near the person
If I can't hold you baby I'll astound you
Trying to impress if physical closeness is not possible
And I'll run away
Reiterating a tendency to run away
Can't make me stay
Resisting attempts to be made to stay
Here where everybody wants me
Being in a situation where many people desire attention
Fuckin' with me now but you never wanna touch me
Contrasting attention without genuine connection
Like a tidal wave
Metaphorically comparing a situation to a tidal wave
Can't make me stay
Refusing to be compelled to stay
Here
Reiteration of the desire to leave
Woah Oh oh oh oh oh
Repeating a vocal expression
Oh Woah Oh oh oh oh oh
Continuation of the vocal expression
Can't make me stay here
Final assertion of the refusal to stay
