Lyrics
It’s always hard to see, the closer that we get
Expressing difficulty in seeing clearly as a relationship becomes closer.
My room is getting smaller and theres no perspective left
Feeling confined in a shrinking space, losing perspective.
I find it hard to breathe when you’re lying on my chest,
Experiencing difficulty breathing when the partner lies on the chest, metaphorically suffocating.
suffocating me
Highlighting the suffocating feeling in the relationship.
You told me that you loved me and i thought that’s what you meant
Recalling a declaration of love and realizing it may not have been sincere.
We talked until the sun was up and smoked your cigarettes
Describing a night of conversation and shared moments, possibly fueled by cigarettes.
I would like to think you miss me but i know it’s in my head
Expressing doubt about being missed, acknowledging it might be a self-created illusion.
Can’t take back what i put into it dear
Regretting irreversible actions or investments in the relationship.
You know i won’t forget
Affirming the lasting impact and memory of the relationship.
What you meant to me back then
Reflecting on the significance of the partner in the past.
Space between us gone way up over my head
Noting the disappearance of emotional distance, possibly causing confusion.
Racing on the red
Metaphorically describing a fast-paced, intense emotional experience.
When your eyes are running restless
Describing restless eyes, possibly indicating emotional unrest.
Only show up when you’re needing me
Highlighting a one-sided relationship where the partner is only present in times of need.
I remember faking with your roomies
Recalling moments of pretense with the partner's roommates.
Hearing prince spin down the hall
Remembering hearing music (Prince) while spending time together.
Making time just to see you lose me
Acknowledging efforts made to maintain the relationship despite an inevitable loss.
She was creeping with that blonde
Suspecting infidelity with a person described as 'blonde.'
On the roof i can hear you screaming
Recalling a moment of intense emotion, possibly an argument.
and i know that that’s not all
Implying there's more to the partner's actions than what is known.
Said i would’ve run the world for you dear
Expressing a willingness to do anything for the partner in the past.
You know i won’t forget
Reiterating the lasting impact and memories of the relationship.
What you meant to me back then
Reflecting on the past significance of the partner.
Space between us gone way up over my head
Noting the disappearance of emotional distance, possibly causing confusion (repeated).
Racing on the red
Metaphorically describing a fast-paced, intense emotional experience (repeated).
When your eyes are running restless
Describing restless eyes, possibly indicating emotional unrest (repeated).
Only show up when you’re needing me
Highlighting the one-sided nature of the relationship, where the partner is only present in times of need (repeated).
