Lyrics

Stole a black car with your name on it

Expressing an act of taking control or possession of something associated with the person addressed.

Took another mind

Taking someone else's perspective or understanding.

I couldn’t replace you with all that money

Despite having wealth, unable to substitute the significance of the person in question.

I’m used to being alone but without you I’ve become needy

Comfortable with solitude, but feeling dependent and yearning in the absence of the person.

So will you lay down for me?

Requesting emotional closeness or vulnerability.

With a white space between

Symbolizing a metaphorical gap or distance, possibly emotional or relational.


I know I’ve been erratic

Acknowledging inconsistent behavior or emotions.

You helped find my inner addict

Recognizing the influence of the person in discovering personal flaws or struggles.

It gets worse when we’re together

Highlighting challenges or difficulties intensifying when together.

Moods changing with the weather

Emphasizing mood fluctuations tied to external circumstances.

I know you’re more than a hobbit

Playfully referring to the person, contrasting their importance.

I smoke till I can’t remember

Using smoking as a coping mechanism to forget.

Should I have left a white space?

Raising the question of whether leaving a void or distance would have been better.


I can't hold you down here ( How do I get him off my mind)

Feeling incapable of restraining or keeping the person close mentally.

I’m out of space in-between ( Yet I fall deeper every time I'm tired)

Experiencing emotional exhaustion despite attempts to distance oneself.

And blessings turn to curses (It’s written in between each line)

Positive aspects turning negative, possibly indicating a change in perspective.

It’s wearing on my brown skin

The burden or challenges affecting the person's identity or heritage.


Stole a black heart with no love for me

Acquiring a loveless or unfeeling heart from the person.

You can’t protect your pride

Unable to preserve one's dignity or self-respect in the presence of the person.

You’ll never learn patience without some mercy

Implying that patience and mercy are essential for learning and personal growth.

I don’t need room to know that with you I will never be free

Rejecting the need for space to realize the confinement and lack of freedom with the person.

So will you lay down for me?

Repeating the desire for emotional closeness or vulnerability.

With a wide space between

Expanding the metaphorical gap or distance, possibly emphasizing its breadth.


I know I’ve been erratic

Admitting to erratic behavior or emotions.

You helped find my inner addict

Acknowledging the person's role in uncovering personal struggles.

It gets worse when we’re together

Reiterating that challenges intensify in the presence of the person.

Moods changing with the weather

Connecting emotional fluctuations with external influences.

I know you’re more than a hobbit

Playfully referring to the person again, suggesting complexity.

I smoke till I can’t remember

Using smoking as a coping mechanism to forget, echoing a previous line.

Should I have left a white space?

Reflecting on the decision of leaving a void or distance, possibly expressing regret.


I can't hold you down here ( How do I get him off my mind)

Expressing difficulty in keeping thoughts of the person away.

I’m out of space in-between ( Yet I fall deeper every time I'm tired)

Feeling emotionally drained despite attempts to create space.

And blessings turn to curses (It’s written in between each line)

The transformation of positive elements into negative ones, possibly impacting the narrative.

It’s wearing on my brown skin

Emphasizing the impact on the person's identity or heritage.


I see you spinning round and around as the truth unfolds

Observing the person's actions and reactions as the truth is revealed.

Why won’t you tell me what’s up

Questioning the lack of communication or openness from the person.


I see you spinning round and around as the truth unfolds

Repeating the observation of the person's behavior and the desire for information.

Why won’t you tell me what’s up

Reiterating the question about the person's reluctance to share.


I’ve been riding in the slow lane

Choosing a slower pace or approach, possibly indicating a deliberate decision.

Stuck in traffic, watch me pass you by at your pace

Experiencing a contrast in progress or success compared to the person's pace.

Why are you being immature this isn’t child’s play

Criticizing the person's behavior as immature and not appropriate for the situation.

Are you afraid?

Questioning the person's fear or hesitation.
