Lyrics
So what's left to say?
Expressing uncertainty about further conversation or topics.
Five strings on guitar, add one more for my easiest days
Reflecting on familiarity and ease through playing guitar with friends.
Got my friends all around me, how could I even complain?
Grateful for the presence of friends, feeling content.
I'm here every day,
Being consistently present or available.
You don't have to want me
Assuring someone they're not obliged to reciprocate feelings.
Won't go away, I'm here to say things to keep my mind at bay
Asserting persistence in staying and speaking despite being unwanted.
When all I wanna do is go under, I can't help but wonder
Expressing a desire to escape or avoid problems, pondering about it.
How, how could it be that you hid your heart from me?
Questioning how someone guarded their emotions or feelings.
It wasn't the first time
Implies a repeated occurrence of a certain situation.
And after a while I'll fight it off
Planning to overcome or manage a recurring emotional struggle.
And I'll be fine, cause it's not the first time a bandage was ripped off
Referring to past experiences of emotional hurt and healing.
Where are you today?
Asking about someone's present whereabouts or status.
Got your full ride to college and your pens you ain't used since the third grade
Highlighting possessions related to education and the past.
What would they write for you now that you couldn't write when you were safe?
Questioning the impact of current experiences on one's abilities or creativity.
I swear I wanted to stay
Expressing a genuine desire to remain but facing personal priorities.
But there's things on my list that just won't get done unless I'm in pain
Mentioning unfinished tasks tied to personal discomfort or pain.
I hate that the very thing that feeds me is the thing that puts me in this state
Feeling conflicted as the source of sustenance also causes distress.
When all you wanna do is go under,
Reiterating a desire to escape or avoid problems.
Can you help but wonder?
Pondering if one can't help but wonder despite the circumstances.
How could it be that you hid your heart from me?
Repeating the inquiry about someone concealing their emotions.
Won't be the last time
Suggesting an expectation of similar situations to occur again in the future.
And after a while I'll fight it off
Anticipating a recurrent process of coping or overcoming.
And I don't mind to because if I do,
Expressing a willingness to endure discomfort to draw closer to someone.
It'll make me closer to you
Implying that enduring hardship will lead to a stronger connection with someone.
