Addicted
Captivated by Unrequited Longing: Addicted to an Elusive Love
Lyrics
You know this could be so easy
You acknowledge that the situation could be uncomplicated or straightforward.
Never felt like this before
You express a unique and intense emotional experience that you haven't felt before.
Take all the time you're needing
You encourage someone to take all the time they need.
I'll be right out the door
You're ready to leave or exit the situation.
You say you're done
The person you're addressing claims to be finished or done with something.
You know you never found the one
Despite their claim, the person never found their true love.
You don't give a damn
The person doesn't care or is indifferent.
I'm standing out in the rain
You find yourself outside in the rain, possibly metaphorical for emotional distress.
You don't know who I am
The person doesn't recognize or understand who you are.
But I still fall just the same
Despite the challenges, you still find yourself falling for them.
I'm addicted to you
You confess an addiction to the person, suggesting a strong emotional dependence.
I'm addicted to you
-I'm addicted to you
-I'm so
Expression of intensity or emphasis on the addiction.
I'm addicted to you
Reiteration of being addicted to the person.
Crop top and
Description of the person's appearance and the attention they attract.
Sunglasses
-On top of
-New lashes
-Everybody's eyes you catching
-When you rolling by with that wagon
-And I don't mean to be rude
You express a desire for inclusion in their plans and life.
And I don't mean to intrude
-But could you make a few plans that include me
-You say you got somewhere to be
A conversation about their plans and your offer to accompany them.
I say would you like some company
-You say I'm so persistent
Acknowledgment of your persistence in pursuing a connection.
I say not usually
-Most days I swear to God
Reflection on overthinking and navigating romantic situations.
I'm overthinking different ways
-To navigate romantic situations
-So I just stay in my lane
Decision to stay in your own lane or not actively pursue romantic situations.
But I know you too pretty
Acknowledgment of the person's attractiveness and a desire for them not to be lonely.
To always be so lonely
-And I'd be a damn fool
Recognition of the value of the current moment and not wasting it.
To waste my one moment
-To start a conversation
The hesitation to start a conversation followed by a compliment on their amazing qualities.
Lord knows how long you been waiting
-For somebody just like me
-To come and tell you you're amazing
-You don't give a damn
Repetition of the theme: you're standing in the rain, they don't know you, but you still fall for them.
I'm standing out in the rain
-You don't know who I am
-But I still fall just the same
-I'm addicted to you
Reiteration of addiction to the person.
I'm addicted to you
-I'm addicted to you

Emphasis on being addicted to the person.
I'm addicted to you
-I'm so
-So addicted to you
Further emphasis on being so addicted to the person.
I'm so
-So addicted to you
-I'm so
-So addicted to you
-You don't give a damn
Repetition of the scenario: standing in the rain, not being known, but still falling for them.
I'm standing out in the rain
-You don't know who I am
-But I still fall just the same
-I'm addicted to you
Reiteration of addiction to the person.
I'm addicted to you
-I'm addicted to you
-I'm so
Final emphasis on being addicted to the person.
I'm addicted to you
