Lyrics
Alright, everyone good?
Setting the stage, checking if everyone is ready.
1, 2
Counting off, preparing for something.
1, 2, 3, 4
Continuation of the preparation count.
Baby I'm an asshole
Acknowledging a negative aspect of oneself, possibly self-awareness.
Oh! Can we go a little bit slower than that?
Expressing a desire to slow down the pace.
Can we go...
Repeating the request to slow down.
Maybe I'm a hassle
Admitting to being troublesome or difficult.
Baby I'm an asshole
Reiterating the acknowledgment of being difficult or unpleasant.
I say I don't care for real
Claiming not to care genuinely.
Feels like it'll give me appeal
Suggesting that indifference might be attractive.
Spend the night solo
Choosing to spend time alone.
Nothing here is new for me
Implying a lack of novelty in personal experiences.
But company is frightening
Expressing fear or discomfort with being alone.
Even friends give me anxiety
Stating that even friendships induce anxiety.
I've been out singing as of late
Engaging in activities (singing) to gain attention.
To get your attention, what's it take
Questioning the effort required to attract someone's attention.
Laughing too loud starting to come off fake
Concerns about appearing insincere or fake.
The audience is staring back at me so blank
Noting a lack of reaction or response from the audience.
Only thing I ask for
Desire for a deeper connection, moving from 'me' and 'you' to 'we'.
Turning me and you to we
Expressing a need for unity in a relationship.
You say you don't care for real
Parallel to line 9, claiming not to care genuinely.
I tell a lie, make you think that's how I feel
Admitting to deception, pretending to feel a certain way.
Oh, Oh
Repetition for emphasis or emotional effect.
Oh, Oh
-Oh, Oh
-I've been out singing as of late
-To get your attention, what's it take
-Laughing too loud starting to come off fake
-The audience is staring back at me so blank
-Oh, Oh
-Oh, Oh
-Oh, Oh
-Oh
Continuation of the repetitive element, possibly for closure.
