Lyrics
Listen to me carefully
Expressing the importance of attentive listening.
I've got everything that you'll ever need
Asserting possession of everything needed by the listener.
But you don't think nothing of me
Feeling undervalued because of the listener's attention to others.
Cause you got everybody at your feet
Noticed the listener's popularity and influence over others.
And every day since you left town
Reflecting on the time since the listener's departure from town.
Has been a never-ending run-around
Life has been chaotic and confusing without the listener.
Oh lord, how it gets me down
Expressing emotional distress caused by the situation.
And if I could
Expressing a desire to make a significant change.
I'd fly you out to hollywood
Imagining bringing the listener to a glamorous place like Hollywood.
Leave it to me, one day
Confidently asserting control over the situation.
We'll make it our last escape
Envisioning a future escape with the listener.
But darling, oh
Expressing affection with a term of endearment.
There's no need to rush
Encouraging patience, emphasizing the lightness of the emotions.
It's only a crush that won't go anywhere
Describing the feelings as a crush with no substantial development.
But it's not up to me
Acknowledging lack of control over the situation.
Take it any way you want to
Leaving the interpretation of the situation to the listener.
Every time you come around
Expressing getting emotionally lost whenever the listener is present.
I get lost in you and never found
Continuing to lose oneself emotionally around the listener.
I'm spilling again from the inside out
Experiencing emotional overflow and vulnerability.
And I'm living off your energy
Dependence on the listener's positive influence.
The night is young and so are we
Highlighting the youthfulness of the night and the relationship.
And I know she's only 23, but honestly
Acknowledging the listener's age but feeling content in the relationship.
I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Feeling that the current situation is where one belongs.
Yeah, yeah
Reiteration of contentment or agreement.
And if I could
Expressing a willingness to provide what the listener needs.
I'd give for you what someone should for a change
Desire to change the listener's life positively.
One day
Reiteration of the future escape plan.
We're making our last escape
Envisioning a significant joint decision to escape.
But darling, oh
Repeating affectionate reassurances to be patient.
There's no need to rush
Encouraging patience, emphasizing the lightness of the emotions.
It's only a crush that won't go anywhere
Describing the feelings as a crush with no substantial development.
But it's not up to me
Leaving the interpretation of the situation to the listener.
I'll be anyone you want me to be
Offering flexibility to become whatever the listener desires.
It's no need to rush
Reiterating the lightness and insignificance of the crush.
It's only a crush and it don't meant anything
Emphasizing that the crush doesn't hold significant meaning.
It's not up to me
Leaving the interpretation of the situation to the listener.
Take it any way
Offering flexibility to take the situation in any way the listener wants.
You say I'm not your type
Addressing a perceived mismatch but expressing curiosity about the listener's feelings.
Oh, but how does it feel
Questioning the experience of a lonely life.
To live a lonely life
Highlighting that the speaker is not in control of the situation.
But it's not up to me
Reiterating lack of control over the situation.
No, no, no, no
Further emphasizing the lack of control and pleading for understanding.
Oh, darling please
A final plea for the listener's understanding and consideration.
