Lyrics
Won't you convince me to stay
Expressing a desire for someone to persuade the speaker to remain.
I don't want anymore excuses to walk away
Rejecting any additional reasons or justifications to end the relationship.
And before you make your escape
Prior to the person's departure, urging them to understand that it's acceptable.
I want you to know its ok
Affirming that it's alright for the person to leave.
I don't want to be you
Stating a reluctance to embody the qualities of the other person.
And I don't want you to fret
Communicating a lack of desire for the other person to worry or be anxious.
And I don't want you to think that I care
Rejecting any implication that the speaker is emotionally invested.
So for now we'll talk about it on the lawn chair
Deciding to discuss the situation while sitting on a lawn chair.
And I'll run my knuckled down fingers through your hair
Describing a physical action of running fingers through the other person's hair.
And in an instant the stars light will burn out for good
Suggesting a moment when the metaphorical stars will fade away permanently.
So for now goodnight Misses Crimson
Bidding farewell to Misses Crimson for the current time.
It's been a minute since I texted you back
Acknowledging a delay in responding to Misses Crimson's text.
I miss those deep blue eyes that shined through my lies
Expressing a yearning for Misses Crimson's captivating blue eyes.
And my god darlin' it's a crime
Labeling the impact of Misses Crimson's actions as a crime.
How you ripped away my heart and threw it all on the line
Reflecting on how Misses Crimson exposed the speaker's heart and vulnerabilities.
I don't want to be you
Reiterating a lack of desire to emulate the other person.
And I don't want you to fret
Emphasizing the speaker's disinterest in causing the other person distress.
And I don't want you to think that I care
Denying any genuine emotional investment or concern.
So for now we'll talk about it on the lawn chair
Choosing to address the situation in a relaxed setting, continuing the lawn chair metaphor.
And I'll run my knuckled down fingers through your hair
Describing a tactile gesture of running knuckles through the other person's hair.
And in an instant the stars light will burn out for good
Anticipating a moment when the symbolic light of the stars will extinguish permanently.
So for now goodnight Misses Crimson
Repeating the farewell to Misses Crimson with a "goodnight" wish.
