Navigating Love's Maze: Sam Scarlett's Emotional Journey in 'Make Up Your Mind'
Lyrics
I've spent a couple years now wondering what my life has got in store
The singer reflects on the past couple of years, pondering the uncertainties of their life.
I had a plan then raised my hand and scratched your name into my door
Having a plan, the singer engraved the name of someone significant into their door, symbolizing commitment.
Every day and every night, a mental battle rages on
Every day and night, the singer faces internal struggles and conflicts.
I'm bad with words and worse with yours so baby fall into my arms
The singer acknowledges their difficulty expressing emotions verbally but invites someone to fall into their arms.
Lookin in the mirror asking myself "how many times
Self-reflection in front of a mirror, questioning how many times the same situation will occur.
It gonna be before you suck it up make up your mind?"
Encouraging someone to make a decision and be decisive.
You know what you've got to say, what you have to say
Addressing the importance of expressing oneself and not holding back.
But you're shutting off the lights
Reference to turning off lights, possibly representing avoidance or shutting down emotionally.
Putting miles into miles on the midnight drive
Describing a long, late-night drive as a metaphor for effort put into the relationship.
Just to walk away and say that she's no friend of mine
Walking away and denying a connection, declaring that she is not a friend.
I'm lying in an empty grave, two beds are made
Imagining lying in an empty grave, expressing a sense of despair or hopelessness.
I hope she buries me tonight
A hope or desire for a significant other to bury them, possibly metaphorical.
What's this? I don't even know what time it is
Expressing confusion about the current situation, not knowing the time or why they are in someone else's bed.
Let alone why I'm in your bed
A commitment to oneself not to let a certain situation happen again.
I promised myself that I'd never let this happen to me again
Acknowledging a feeling that hasn't been experienced in a while, a sense of being lost.
I haven't felt like this in awhile, I've been adrift in empty space
Feeling adrift in empty space but desiring to land and see the person's face when under their weight.
But when I'm crushed under your weight I wanna land just so I can see your face
Reiterating the questioning of how many times a decision needs to be made in the mirror.

There's nothing behind mine so let's see what's in yours
