Lyrics
How do you know
Questioning how one can determine the right time to leave or stay in a situation
When to run when to stay
Continuation of the uncertainty about knowing when to run or stay
How do you know
Repetition of the questioning, expressing doubt and confusion
When it’s just a mistake again
Reflecting on situations where errors are repeated
'Cause I’m feeling things that I haven’t felt in a long time
Experiencing emotions not felt in a long time, with conflicting thoughts making sense and no sense simultaneously
Making perfect sense and no sense at all at the same time
Describing a state of emotional confusion where things seem contradictory
I’m scared of us
Expressing fear or apprehension about the relationship
Scared of what this could be
Fearful of the potential of the relationship
Scared of all this could mean
Fearful of the implications and significance of the relationship
I’m scared of us
Reiteration of being scared in the context of the relationship
Scared of you scared of me
Indicating fear of both oneself and the partner in the relationship
How we’re all that we need
Acknowledging the importance of each other in the relationship
Our hearts are defenseless
Describing vulnerability in the emotional aspect of the relationship
When we get this close
Highlighting the lack of defense mechanisms when close emotionally
There’s no turning back now
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of the relationship at this point
We’re out of control
Acknowledging a loss of control in the relationship
I’m scared of us
Reiteration of being scared within the context of the relationship
Burning so bright
Metaphorically describing the intensity of emotions or the relationship
Will this fire go out
Pondering the possibility of the intense emotions diminishing
We light up the sky
Describing the relationship as bright and attention-grabbing
But will we go down in flames
Expressing concern about the possibility of the relationship ending disastrously
'Cause I’m feeling things that I haven’t felt in a long time
Re-experiencing emotions not felt in a long time, with conflicting thoughts
Making perfect sense and no sense at all at the same time
Reiterating the emotional confusion where things seem contradictory
I’m scared of us
Expressing fear or apprehension about the relationship
Scared of what this could be
Fearful of the potential of the relationship
Scared of all this could mean
Fearful of the implications and significance of the relationship
I’m scared of us
Reiteration of being scared in the context of the relationship
Scared of you scared of me
Indicating fear of both oneself and the partner in the relationship
How we’re all that we need
Acknowledging the importance of each other in the relationship
Our hearts are defenseless
Describing vulnerability in the emotional aspect of the relationship
When we get this close
Highlighting the lack of defense mechanisms when close emotionally
There’s no turning back now
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of the relationship at this point
We’re out of control
Acknowledging a loss of control in the relationship
I’m scared of us
Reiteration of being scared within the context of the relationship
