Call It a Night
Heartbreak on the Dance Floor: Still Pigeon's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I'm standing at the back
I'm positioned at the rear
And I don't feel like dancing
I lack the desire to dance
But I don't think they give money back for heartbreak
No compensation for heartbreak
Don't want to let myself react
Suppressing my emotional reaction
So I'll just keep on dancing
Continuing to dance, concealing feelings
Keep my feelings under wraps until a new day
Hiding emotions until a new day
When you pick up my call
Your response when I call
I hear a guy at the back
Hearing a conversation in the background
He stops talking when I hear you react
Interrupted when you react
And it turns to silence when I say your name
Silence when I mention your name
And you try to explain
Your attempt to explain
But you're starting to drain my patience
Testing my patience, becoming draining
I'm not there
Absence from the situation
And it's mostly in my head but it's becoming unfair
Mental struggles feeling unfair
Can we bring it back to square one?
Yearning to reset the relationship
Then I wasn't scared
Previously fearless, now scared
I pretend that I never really care
Pretending not to care
Don't know what we gain from all these games
Uncertain about the gains from relationship games
The bloodstain's getting bigger
Metaphorically, problems are escalating
When you try to fight my fear ignites
Fear intensifies in the face of conflict
I know your skin is thicker
Acknowledging emotional resilience
I can't look back
No turning back
I won't keep track
Refusing to keep tabs
My love is growing thin
Lamenting the diminishing love
Lost again, your eyes look through me
Feeling unnoticed, your gaze penetrates
Ask me where I've been and I'll say
Questioning my whereabouts
Where'd you call me from?
Asking where I received your call
You say you're somewhere in the party
You claim to be at the party
But I sense your thoughts elsewhere
Suspecting your mind is elsewhere
And I wonder if I care
Doubting the significance of my concern
When I see you leaving quickly
Observing your swift departure
With a guy by your side
Noting your company with another guy
Someone starts to drive
Initiating the journey with someone
So I'll just call it a night
Deciding to end the night
Where'd you call me from?
Repetition of previous sentiments
You say you're somewhere in the party
Reiterating being at the party
I sense your thoughts elsewhere
Reaffirming suspicions of distraction
And I wonder if I care
Doubting the significance of my concern
When I see you leaving quickly
Observing your swift departure
With a guy by your side
Noting your company with another guy
Someone starts to drive
Initiating the journey with someone
So I'll just call it a night
Deciding to end the night
And now I'm standing at the back
Repeating the initial situation
And I don't feel like dancing
Reiterating the lack of desire to dance
But I don't think they give money back for heartbreak
No compensation for heartbreak
Don't want to let myself react
Suppressing my emotional reaction
So I'll just keep on dancing
Continuing to dance, concealing feelings
Keep my feelings under wraps until a new day
Hiding emotions until a new day
