Lyrics
Maybe I should be sleeping
Contemplating the idea of sleeping
But then I’d risk keeping the dream alive
Fearing that sleeping will sustain an unrealized dream
and I gotta move on with life
Recognizing the need to move forward in life
Gotta focus on breathing
Emphasizing the importance of focusing on the basics, like breathing
Cuz I don’t know what to do at night
Expressing uncertainty about what to do during the night
I sit in my car wasting time
Wasting time in the car, feeling aimless
Just crying, crying
Experiencing emotional pain, crying
All I gotta to do to get to you is put the the
Describing the simple action of driving as a means to reach someone
Drive, Drive
Highlighting the significance of driving
But I can’t, cuz I’m the one who said goodbye
Unable to drive because of being the one who ended the relationship
I swear that I want what’s best for you
Expressing a desire for the other person's well-being
unless that means you found somebody new
Except if their happiness involves being with someone else
Conditional love, just selfish enough
Describing love as conditional and somewhat selfish
but swear that I want what best for you
Reiterating the genuine wish for the other's happiness
Do you notice a difference
Questioning if the other person notices a change
Going through the motions like
Going through life mechanically, just trying to get by
You just gotta get by
Highlighting the mundane nature of daily routines
Or have you reached indifference
Wondering if indifference has been reached
I thought that would feel alright
Expected indifference not bringing the anticipated relief
But I feel like shit
Feeling emotionally distressed despite expectations
Just crying, crying
Experiencing emotional pain, crying (repeated)
All I gotta to do to get to you is put the the
Describing driving as the means to reach the person (repeated)
Drive, Drive
Highlighting the significance of driving (repeated)
But I can’t, cuz I’m the one who said goodbye
Unable to drive because of being the one who ended the relationship (repeated)
I swear that I want what’s best for you
Expressing a desire for the other person's well-being (repeated)
unless that means you found somebody new
Except if their happiness involves being with someone else (repeated)
Conditional love, just selfish enough
Describing love as conditional and somewhat selfish (repeated)
but swear that I want what best for you
Reiterating the genuine wish for the other's happiness (repeated)
Call me a joke, call me a quitter
Accepting derogatory labels, possibly self-critical
Call me a liar, colder than winter
Acknowledging negative qualities like lying and coldness
You’re right, I am
Admitting to the negative qualities mentioned
Call it a hoax, some kind of which craft
Suggesting that the relationship might have been deceptive
Started with my laugh, want all your stuff back?
Referring to a possible starting point of issues and the desire to reclaim possessions
I understand
Expressing understanding or acceptance of the situation
