I Know I'm an Asshole, I Just Wish You Didn't.
Confessions of a Self-Conscious Soul: Embracing Imperfection
Lyrics
Listen
Expression of a desire for attention or focus
I'm a little fucked up and I'm too self conscious
Admission of personal issues and self-consciousness
About growing up
Concerns about the process of growing up
You're teens having fun and I'm the one who warned you
Feeling out of place among peers who enjoy their youth
It's not safe to do drugs
Expressing a warning against drug use
I know that you know that I know I'm not that cool
Acknowledgment of not being perceived as cool
I just wish I was someone who didn't have to
Desire to be independent and not reliant on friends
Have friends to make it through middle school
Expressing difficulty in making it through middle school without friends
'Cause truth be told I don't want to know you
Disinterest in getting to know others
I'm an arrogant piece of shit who left his confidence
Acknowledgment of arrogance and lost confidence
Somewhere in a cab in a Canadian province
Reflecting on past experiences in a Canadian province
I take shit too far 'cause my friends couldn't care less
Tendency to push boundaries, possibly causing harm
Till someone gets hurt
Acknowledgment of actions leading to someone getting hurt
I know I'm an asshole, I just wish you didn't
Self-awareness of being an asshole
'Cause I've gambled a lot on you thinking that I'm not
Regret for gambling on others' perception of not being an asshole
An asshole, but now that you've seen it, I can't be dorky and happy for you
Inability to maintain a positive demeanor after being seen as an asshole
I know I'm an ass hole, I just wish you didn't
Reiteration of self-awareness as an asshole
'Cause I've gambled a lot on you thinking that I'm not
Continued regret for misjudging others' perceptions
An asshole, but now that you've seen it, I can't be
Difficulty in maintaining a positive demeanor after being exposed as an asshole
Dorky and happy
Expressing the impossibility of being both dorky and happy
I know I'm an asshole, I just wish you didn't
Reiteration of self-awareness as an asshole
'Cause I've gambled a lot on you thinking that I'm not
Continued regret for misjudging others' perceptions
An asshole, but now that you've seen it
Struggling to maintain a positive demeanor after being exposed as an asshole
I can't be dorky and happy
Expressing the impossibility of being both dorky and happy
I can't be dorky and happy
Reiteration of the difficulty in being both dorky and happy
I can't be dorky and happy for you
Continued expression of the impossibility of being both dorky and happy for someone else
