Lyrics
Why don't you come back to my apartment
Invitation to return to the speaker's apartment
Got a lot of things to show you there
Speaker has things to share or show
If you promise not to stare
Request not to stare to avoid discomfort
Because you know
Awareness of potential awkwardness
I wrote these songs for you
Confirmation of creating songs for the listener
I don't know if you feel it too
Uncertainty about the listener's feelings
And I don't wanna wreck the mood
Desire to maintain a positive atmosphere
I'm asking don't
Direct request not to shut the door emotionally
Shut the door on me
Emphasizing the importance of not closing off
Just, hold the door for me
Asking for a symbolic gesture of openness
And so why don't we take things slow
Suggestion to take the relationship slowly
I don't wanna lose control
Fear of losing emotional control
I don't wanna see you go
Expressing reluctance to see the listener leave
But give me a reason
Request for a reason to hold on
To cling to
Desire for something to cling to emotionally
And I'll cling all day
Commitment to cling if given a reason
Why don't you come back to my apartment
Repetition of the invitation to return
And tell me all about your friends
Interest in the listener's friends
I don't want this this dance to end
Expression of not wanting the interaction to end
Because faith turns to reason
Transition from faith to reason in the relationship
I'm feeling you
Acknowledgment of feeling a connection
Might go my way
Recognition that things might go positively
And so I'm begging
Pleading to keep the emotional door open
Don't shut the door on me
Reiteration of the request not to close off
Just, hold the door for me
Asking for the symbolic act of holding the door
And so why don't we take things slow
Reiteration of the desire to take things slowly
I don't wanna lose control
Fear of losing control repeated from line 12
I don't wanna see you go
Repeated reluctance to see the listener leave
But give me a reason
Reiteration of the request for a reason to hold on
To cling to
Repetition of the desire for something to cling to
And I'll cling all day
Repetition of the commitment to cling if given a reason
I'd do anything just to hear you say
Expressing willingness to do anything for the listener's affirmation
