Lyrics
I listened in
I eavesdropped or paid attention
Yes I'm guilty of this, you should know this
Admitting guilt for a certain action, a familiarity between the speaker and the addressed person
I broke down and wrote you back before you had a chance to
Revealing a hasty response, expressing emotions before the other person could
Forget forgotten
Acknowledging the past and the need to move forward
I am moving past this, giving notice
Progressing beyond a certain situation, giving a formal notice of departure
I have to go
Declaring the necessity to leave or move on
Yes I know the feeling, know you're leaving
Acknowledging the shared feeling of departure
Calm down, I'm calling you to say
Requesting the other person to calm down before delivering a message
I'm capsized, erring on the edge of safe
Feeling overwhelmed or on the brink of danger
Calm down, I'm calling back to say
Reiterating the need for calmness, announcing arrival at home
I'm home now
Confirming the speaker's return home
I'm coming around, I'm coming around
Expressing a sense of reviving or recovering
Nobody likes to but I really like to cry
Admitting a willingness to cry despite societal expectations
Nobody likes me, maybe if I cry
Addressing the possible unpopularity of the speaker
Spelled out your name and list the reasons
Listing reasons for addressing someone, spelling out their name
Faint of heart, don't call me back
Warning against responding if emotionally fragile
I imagine you when I was distant
Recalling thoughts about the person when emotionally distant
Non-insistent
Being non-insistent or demanding
I follow suit and laid out on my back
Copying behavior and lying down, possibly reflecting contemplation
Imagine that
Reflecting on the situation
A million hours left to think of you and think of that
Having ample time to think about the person
Calm down, I'm calling you to say
Repeating the request for calmness before delivering a message
I'm capsized, erring on the edge of safe
Feeling overwhelmed or in a precarious situation
Calm down, I'm calling back to say
Reiterating the need for calmness, announcing arrival at home
I'm home now
Confirming the speaker's return home
I'm coming around, I'm coming around
Expressing a sense of reviving or recovering
Nobody likes to but I really like to cry
Admitting a willingness to cry despite societal expectations
Nobody likes me, maybe if I cry
Addressing the possible unpopularity of the speaker
Encircle me, I need to be taken down
Expressing a need to be emotionally brought down or humbled
Encircle me, I need to be taken down
Repeating the desire to be emotionally brought down
Encircle me, I need to be taken down
-Encircle me, I need to be taken down
-Nobody likes to but I really like to cry
Admitting a willingness to cry despite societal expectations
Nobody likes me, maybe if I cry
Addressing the possible unpopularity of the speaker
Nobody
