Lyrics
First you want me
Expressing the initial desire or interest in the speaker.
Then you've got me
Acknowledging that the speaker is now in the possession or attention of the listener.
Tell me did you
Questioning if the listener foresaw the current situation or relationship.
See this coming?
Asking whether the listener anticipated the unfolding events.
Like it or not
Regardless of preference, the listener is now involved in the speaker's life.
You're on my walk
Metaphorically stating that the listener is present in the speaker's journey.
And one day I might
Hinting at a possible future where the speaker might detach or distance themselves.
Leave the leash tied up
Suggesting that the listener may have a level of control or influence.
(I mean)
A parenthetical remark, possibly an inner thought or clarification.
I wouldn't if I couldn't
Stating that the speaker wouldn't act if they were unable to do so.
And yeah maybe I shouldn't
Expressing hesitation or doubt about the appropriateness of their actions.
But you're still trying to smile
Observing the listener's attempt to maintain a positive demeanor.
So I guess that means it's okay
Interpreting the listener's smile as approval or acceptance.
(Hey)
A casual acknowledgment or greeting.
Don't take this the wrong way
Warning the listener not to misinterpret the speaker's intentions.
Like that one time in Safeway
Referencing a past incident in Safeway, possibly alluding to a specific event.
But every time you talk I want to scream
Expressing frustration or irritation when the listener talks.
I mean that in the nicest way
Qualifying the frustration as intended in a kind manner.
Now I don't want to hear about your favorite
Rejecting the idea of hearing about the listener's preferences.
Anything
Reiterating the speaker's previous guidance on emotions or opinions.
I told you what to feel
Asserting that the listener was given specific instructions on emotions or reactions.
And here you still are anyway
Noting the listener's persistence or presence despite the advice.
(Uh yeah)
Adding a casual interjection, possibly to emphasize a point.
I told you
Repeating the previous assertion for emphasis.
I told you
Reiterating the warning or advice given to the listener.
I shouldn't need to warn you
Highlighting the listener's responsibility to protect themselves.
You ought to be able to
Emphasizing the importance of the listener's self-reliance.
Protect yourself
Stating the consequences of the listener's reluctance to protect themselves.
But since you won't
Asserting the lack of culpability on the speaker's part.
It's really not my fault
Pondering the responsibility for the current situation.
(Is it?)
Questioning the validity of the speaker's responsibility.
I swear I don't prefer this
Denying a preference for the current circumstances.
It'd be so fucking tight if
Expressing a desire for the listener to exude confidence.
You had a little confidence
Imagining a positive scenario if the listener had more confidence.
But every time you talk I want to scream
Reiterating the frustration triggered by the listener's communication.
Now
Introducing a new perspective or situation.
I still don't want to hear about your favorite
Maintaining the aversion to hearing about the listener's preferences.
Anything
Reiterating the speaker's resistance to engaging with the listener's interests.
You'd do this to you too
Asserting that the listener would act similarly if they understood the speaker's perspective.
If you knew how to be me
Speculating on the listener's potential actions if they were in the speaker's position.
(I'm... sorry?)
An uncertain or apologetic interjection, possibly indicating a realization or reflection.
I told you
Reiterating the previous warnings or advice given to the listener.
I told you
Emphasizing the earlier communication of potential outcomes.
(Told ya!)
A conclusive remark, possibly reflecting a sense
Comment
