You Should Know
Wandering Through Unspoken Emotions
Lyrics
Thinking I might drink too much
Contemplating the possibility of consuming too much alcohol.
If I don't know I make it up
Admitting to inventing things when uncertain or uninformed.
Am I who you thought I was again
Questioning one's perceived identity in the eyes of others.
You always have a look for me
Noticing a consistent expression or gaze directed at the speaker.
So tell me who I'm supposed to be
Seeking guidance on the expected role or persona.
Some things don't come easily to me
Acknowledging difficulty in mastering certain aspects of life.
Take me to your side of town
Requesting inclusion by being taken to the other person's environment.
Cause no one wants to be left out
Expressing a fear of being excluded or left behind.
Yeah we're wasting the time
Acknowledging the passage of time without meaningful progress.
But we're not wasting away
Asserting resilience and persistence despite challenges.
Words get caught on the page
Noting difficulty in expressing oneself verbally or in writing.
Thought that you should know
Indicating an intention to share important information.
I'd like to think I knew before
Reflecting on past knowledge or insights.
When I left my Newport's at your door
Recalling leaving personal items as a symbolic gesture.
How much it might mean to me you see
Contemplating the significance of a relationship or gesture.
Most things change but some things won't
Acknowledging the persistence of some elements despite change.
I say I will but then I don't
Expressing inconsistency in keeping promises.
And maybe that's enough for me again
Finding contentment in not fulfilling certain commitments.
So take me to your side of town
Reiterating the desire to be included in the other person's world.
Cause I don't want to be left out
Reiterating the fear of being excluded or left behind.
Yeah we're wasting the time
Acknowledging the passage of time without meaningful progress (repeated).
But we're not wasting away
Asserting resilience and persistence despite challenges (repeated).
Words get caught on the page
Noting difficulty in expressing oneself verbally or in writing (repeated).
Thought that you should know
Reiterating the intention to share important information (repeated).
