Lyrics

I'm sick and tired of, being bored, existing, and home

I feel exhausted from monotony, mere existence, and staying at home.

We haven't spoken since you stopped answering your phone

We haven't communicated since you stopped answering your phone.

I'm trying hard to believe the excuses

I'm struggling to trust the reasons/explanations given.

But they're like me, just so pathetic and useless

The excuses, like me, feel inadequate and worthless.

I dug a tunnel, underneath the ground, leading up into your house

I've created a secret passage underground to access your home.

And when you're not home, I'll come through, I'll take off my shoes

When you're away, I'll enter, trying to be considerate (by removing my shoes).

Ohh the days we took off everything

Recalling the moments we both freely expressed ourselves.

Turn on the stereo, the band I showed you

Playing music by the band I introduced to you.

I'll rummage the trash for our old photos, too

Searching through discarded items for our old pictures.

You look so sad in every one

You appear unhappy in all those photos.

I wish I could have seen past my smile, I'm

I regret not seeing through my own happiness to perceive your pain.

Standing there with my messiah tangible

Feeling like a guiding figure, while you're merely by my side.

And you're just standing next to you know

You're just there beside me, seemingly unnoticed.

Even the sun is probably looking down on me

Even nature (the sun) might be looking down on me unfavorably.

I didn't mean to scar you

I didn't intend to cause emotional wounds.

Didn't mean to make you drive home

Unintentionally causing you to drive back home alone in darkness.

All the way in the, dark alone

Forcing you to make a lonely journey in the dark.

No

Expressing denial or refusal toward a situation.

If only you wouldn't lock the door, it'd make everything so much easier

If only you didn't lock the door, things would be much easier for me.

I'll break off the locks, put them where I keep my heart, underneath your floorboards

Symbolically, I'll remove the barriers (locks) and keep them where my emotions reside, beneath your living space.

You got a twin sister I can talk to?

Asking if there's someone similar to you (a twin) with whom I could communicate.

A couple cigars?

Asking for a few items, possibly to reminisce or find comfort.

It's been a while since I took a long drive in the car

Expressing the longing for a long drive, something not done in a while.

I've never been to Vermont

Admitting to never having been to Vermont.

Who wants to smell like New Jersey?

Dislike or dismissal of smelling like a particular place (New Jersey).

I dug a tunnel, underneath the ground, leading up into your house

Repetition of previously mentioned actions, emphasizing persistence.

And when you're not home, I'll come through, I'll take off my shoes

Reiterating the plan to enter when you're absent, being considerate.

Ohh the days we took off everything

Revisiting the memories of shared moments when we were carefree.

Turn on the stereo, the band I showed you

Playing music from a band I introduced to you earlier.

I'll rummage the trash for our old photos, too

Searching for our past moments captured in discarded photos.

You look so sad in every one

Noting your melancholic appearance in those photos.

I wish I could have seen past my smile I'm

Regretting my failure to see beyond my own happiness and notice your sadness.

Standing there with my messiah tangible

Feeling like a figure of guidance or importance while disregarding your presence.

And you're just standing next to you know

Emphasizing your unnoticed presence beside me.

Even the sun is probably looking down on me

Feeling judged or looked down upon by even the sun (metaphorically).

I didn't mean to scar you

Apologizing for unintentionally causing emotional pain.

Didn't mean to make you drive home

Regretting causing you to make a lonely drive back home in the dark.

All the way in the, dark alone

Reiterating the idea of you driving home alone in the dark.
