Lyrics

I tried to keep it close

I attempted to maintain a close connection.

Keep it in a locket

Kept it in a locket, a symbolic or literal representation of preserving something valuable.

Ain't no one can stop it

No one has the power to prevent it.

Can you tell the difference?

Questioning the ability to distinguish between different aspects or emotions.

I can tell the difference

I can discern the distinction.

Maybe you're the difference

Suggesting someone might be the crucial difference.

Please don't be indifferent

Request not to be apathetic or indifferent.

I could make it different

Expressing the potential to make a significant change.


How come you only say I'm cute when you're wasted

Questioning why compliments about cuteness only come when under the influence.

Baby, don't waste it

Encouragement not to waste the positive feelings.

Well, maybe you could waste it

Suggesting it might be acceptable to waste those positive feelings.

I run my mouth and it runs me over

Consequence of speaking impulsively and being overwhelmed by words.

Don't come closer, don't come closer

Warning to keep a distance, possibly due to the speaker's emotional vulnerability.

I'm super glue, it's nothing new

Describing a strong bond that is hard to break, but also not new.

You try to break it

Someone attempting to break the bond.

Hoping nothing's coming

Anxiety about potential challenges ahead.

Can't you see I'm running?

Expressing urgency in escaping or avoiding a situation.


I try to write it out

Effort to express feelings through writing.

Make sure nothing sounds weird

Ensuring the expression sounds appropriate.

Make sure it's not half bad

Ensuring the quality of the expression is not subpar.

Do you think this song's sad?

Questioning the emotional tone of the song.

You made me smile

Acknowledging a positive impact on the speaker's emotions.

But could you spell it out for me?

Request for explicit clarification or explanation.

You say you shouldn't have to

Discussion about the expectation of clear communication.

I know you shouldn't have to

Acknowledgment that such clarification may not be necessary.
