Just in Case You Quit Me
Love's Confession: A Tale of Mistakes and Redemption in 'Just in Case You Quit Me'
Lyrics
There I said it, I've done you wrong
Admitting to causing harm or wrongdoing to the other person.
The miles I ran away to call you on the phone
Escaping physically but reaching out emotionally by calling on the phone.
And whisper uglinesses sweetly down the line
Speaking hurtful words in a seemingly affectionate manner during the call.
I believed your heart was mine
Expressing a belief that the other person's heart belonged to the speaker.
I'm unspeakably full of it
Acknowledging a sense of guilt or wrongdoing.
I keep my heart on hinges just in case you quit me
Keeping emotions guarded, prepared for the possibility of being abandoned.
When we were diving gold and pearling in the waves
Reflecting on a past time of enjoyment and adventure in a romantic relationship.
I pretended I was brave
Pretending to be brave during shared experiences.
But weren't we, were we magic and dizzy
Questioning the magical and intoxicating nature of the relationship.
Weren't we, were we deadly and blue
Exploring the dual aspects of the relationship, both enchanting and melancholic.
Weren't we riding high crossing a thousand fine lines
Recalling a time of excitement and pushing boundaries together.
When I was young and ballsy and true, to you
Reminiscing about a more audacious and truthful past self dedicated to the other person.
Is it hot out there? Is it hard to breathe?
Asking about the external conditions, possibly symbolic of the relationship's atmosphere.
And do you need me
Expressing a willingness to provide support and companionship.
I can do this thing, I can make it rain
Claiming the ability to influence or control situations, like making it "rain" metaphorically.
I will make sure it finds you
Promising to ensure that the speaker's influence or support reaches the other person.
There I said it, I've done you wrong
Repeating the admission of wrongdoing.
You say I'm here and I say what took you so long
Noting the other person's presence and questioning the delay in their response.
When we were finally free I stumbled in your room
Recalling a moment of freedom in the relationship and entering the other person's space.
Telling stories, telling stories
Engaging in storytelling, possibly implying the sharing of personal experiences.
But weren't we, were magic and dizzy
Revisiting the enchanting and dizzying aspects of the relationship.
Weren't we, were we blinding and blue
Describing the relationship as blinding and blue, suggesting intensity and emotion.
Weren't we riding high spinning a thousand fine lies
Recalling a time of spinning intricate lies while feeling elevated and deceived.
When I was young and ballsy and true to you
Remembering a more audacious and truthful past self dedicated to the other person.
When I was young and ballsy and true to you
Reiterating the dedication of a youthful and bold past self to the other person.
