Lyrics

I thought I was over you

I believed I had moved on from you.

I'd put out the flame

I thought I had extinguished the emotions.

Said tonight will be different

Expressing a hope for a different experience tonight.

I wouldn't need to play your games

Not willing to engage in manipulative behavior.

I walk past your tower block

Passing by the building where you reside.

Saw a flick in the blinds

Observing a glimpse through the window blinds.

I said tonight will be different

Reiterating the desire for a unique night and not returning.

And that I won't come back

Committing to not coming back.


Here I am

Presenting oneself in the current situation.

Running up the seventh floor

Physically ascending to the seventh floor.

Knocking the eleventh door

Knocking on the door numbered eleven.

I'mma sick of trying

Expressing fatigue from continuous efforts.

I'mma sick of trying

Repetition of exhaustion from attempting.

Baby could I love you some more

Pondering if additional love is possible.

Baby could I love you some more

Repeating the question of increased affection.


Told myself I's a prisoner

Considering oneself confined and having broken free.

And I'd broken my chains

Asserting freedom from personal limitations.

That I could be anyone

Believing in the capacity to transform.

I'd run a thousand miles away

Expressing a willingness to distance oneself significantly.

And I imagined America

Imagining a distant place, perhaps America.

Somewhere as far

Specifying the imagined distance as far away.

Someplace where the memories

Referring to a place where memories can't cause pain.

They couldn't cut my heart

Ensuring emotional protection.


But here I am

Despite intentions, finding oneself in the same situation.

Running up the seventh floor

Physically repeating the act of ascending to the seventh floor.

Knocking the eleventh door

Knocking on the familiar eleventh door.

I'mma sick of trying

Expressing weariness from persistent attempts.

I'mma sick of trying

Reiteration of exhaustion from continuous efforts.

Baby could I love you some more

Pondering if additional love is possible.

Baby could you love me some more?

Posing the question of increased affection to the other person.

Baby could you love me some more?

Repeating the inquiry about enhanced love.

Baby could you love me some more?

Repeating the question regarding increased affection.


'Cause I'm going out my head here, darling

Expressing emotional turmoil and confusion.

Going out my head here, darling

Reiterating the sense of being overwhelmed emotionally.

Going out my head here, darling

Continuing to describe the emotional distress.

Going out my head here, darling

Persisting in the expression of emotional turmoil.


But here I am

Repeating the act of ascending to the seventh floor.

Running up the seventh floor

Knocking on the familiar eleventh door again.

Knocking the eleventh door

Repeating the previous actions and statements.

Saying what I've said before

Restating the plea for additional love.

Baby could you love me some more?

Asking if the other person could love more.

Baby could you love me some more?

Repeating the question about increased affection.

I'm going out my head here, darling

Emphasizing the emotional distress experienced.

I'm going out my head here, darling

Reiterating the overwhelming emotional state.

I'm going out my head

Continuing to express a state of emotional turmoil.
