Lyrics
And I called my mom on the phone and cried, "when can I move away?"
The speaker is distressed, asking their mom when they can leave.
I need some money to get me by because I really can't stay
Expressing a need for money to leave their current situation.
You had always been with me, even in the back of my dreams
Feeling a constant presence of someone in their dreams, likely a departed loved one.
You had never once hurt me, until you left for the beach
Highlighting that the person who left had never hurt them until they departed.
I'm an only child, I'm alone for now it's as bad as it seems
Emphasizing loneliness as an only child, feeling the weight of solitude.
You took me down, I'll see you around in all of my dreams
Despite departure, the person remains present in dreams.
And the window is open, and your hair is on the floor
Describing a scene with an open window and remnants of someone's presence (hair on the floor).
No more words must be spoken, after I walk right out the door
Indicating the end of communication or confrontation after leaving.
I'm an only child, I'm alone for now it's as bad as it seems
Reiterating the loneliness of being an only child.
You took me down, I'll see you around in all of my dreams
Continuing the haunting presence of the departed person in dreams.
Photos on the wall, throwing my clothes into a ball
Engaging in the act of discarding belongings, possibly as a way of coping.
And I'm flipping all of the frames around, and around, and around just for you
Repeatedly manipulating picture frames, perhaps reflecting on memories tied to those images.
And I'm on the floor and I'm talking with you
Feeling emotionally low and communicating with someone who's not physically present.
I feel nothing, wishing for someone new
Expressing emotional numbness and a desire for a new connection.
I'm an only child, I'm alone for now it's as bad as it seems
Reiterating the sense of isolation as an only child.
You took me down, I'll see you around in all of my dreams
Continued presence of the departed in dreams, signifying their lasting impact.
Photos on the wall, throwing my clothes into a ball
Repeating the act of discarding personal items, possibly in frustration or distress.
And I'm flipping all of the frames around, and around, and around just for you
Continuing to manipulate picture frames, possibly trying to change or understand memories.
