Lyrics
You and I we might as well be
You and I are deeply entangled, much like being wrapped up in cotton candy.
Tangled up in cotton candy
For a brief moment, the relationship feels pleasant and enjoyable.
For a moment it tastes so sweet
However, this sweetness is temporary.
Come on we both know
Both individuals acknowledge that the relationship is over.
It was done right from the get go
The end was evident right from the start.
Tell me why I can't let go
The singer is struggling to understand why they can't move on.
Snap back like rubbberbands
A reference to rebounding and returning to a previous state.
No more holding hands
No more physical closeness or connection between the two.
We both know
A mutual understanding that the relationship has ended.
Before it even started we were moving too fast
Realization that the relationship was rushed from the beginning.
Sometimes it doesn't matter even if
Despite a strong desire, sometimes it's impossible to make things work.
You want it bad enough
Even intense desire may not be enough to salvage a relationship.
And I don't really wanna be the one to
The singer hesitates to be the one to end the relationship.
Break it off
Expressing reluctance to break off the relationship.
But somebody's gotta do it
Someone has to take the initiative to end it.
Come on let's face it
Admitting that the relationship is unlikely to succeed.
We're never gonna make it work but
Choosing to pretend and continue the relationship despite its challenges.
Let's keep on faking
Deciding to face the consequences when the relationship inevitably falls apart.
We'll cross that bridge when we burn it down
Reiterating the idea of dealing with problems when they arise.
We'll cross that bridge when we burn it down
Emphasizing the inevitability of facing consequences.
We'll cross that bridge when we burn it down
Repeated emphasis on dealing with issues when they occur.
When we burn it down
Reinforcing the concept of facing consequences during the breakdown of the relationship.
When we burn it down
-When we burn it down
-Thinking 'bout the night we first met
Reflecting on the initial moments of the relationship.
Spent half the time stuck in your head
Spending a significant amount of time thinking about the partner.
So scared to say the wrong thing
The fear of saying something wrong or unintended.
Or something you don't mean
The current situation and its contrast with the initial fear.
Now we're here just look what we found
Realizing that the current partner is someone worth being with.
Someone I don't mind being around
Positive feelings about the current state of the relationship.
Fell from cloud 9 hit the ground running fast
Falling from a state of bliss to a harsh reality.
From feeling bad what happens if you look back
Considering the consequences of looking back at the past.
Before it even started we were moving too fast
Reiteration of the idea that the relationship started too quickly.
Sometimes it doesn't matter even if
Repeating the notion that desire may not be enough to sustain a relationship.
You want it bad enough
The singer is unwilling to be the one to end the relationship.
And I don't really wanna be the one to
Expressing reluctance to break off the relationship.
Break it off
Someone has to take the initiative to end it.
But somebody's gotta do it
Emphasizing the difficulty of making the relationship work.
Come on let's face it
Admitting that the relationship is unlikely to succeed.
We're never gonna make it work but
Choosing to pretend and continue the relationship despite its challenges.
Let's keep on faking
Deciding to face the consequences when the relationship inevitably falls apart.
We'll cross that bridge when we burn it down
Reiterating the idea of dealing with problems when they arise.
We'll cross that bridge when we burn it down
Emphasizing the inevitability of facing consequences.
We'll cross that bridge when we burn it down
Repeated emphasis on dealing with issues when they occur.
When we burn it down
Reinforcing the concept of facing consequences during the breakdown of the relationship.
When we burn it down
-When we burn it down
