Lyrics
Outside, you don't know why
Feeling uncertain or unaware when outside.
We tell each other in the middle of the night
Sharing secrets or intimate thoughts during nighttime.
Talk about it like you really want to know
Discussing a topic with genuine curiosity.
What she running 'round for?
Questioning someone's actions or motives.
Rat-tat, the door unlatch
A sound effect, possibly indicating a door opening.
Someone here to take you back
Someone arriving to bring the person back.
Outside in the middle of the street
Being outdoors, possibly in a public space.
Are you getting what you need?
Questioning if the person is satisfied or fulfilled.
Thoughts of you
Thinking about the person in question.
Running through my mind
Constantly on the mind of the speaker.
Open door but it doesn't feel right
An open opportunity that feels wrong or uncomfortable.
You look at me as if you know what it's like
Being observed with a sense of understanding.
In the shadow of the streetlight
Symbolic imagery of being in a concealed place.
Now I know
Realization that going back is not an option.
I can't go back
Feeling trapped in a situation.
You're with her and she doesn't deserve that
Expressing disapproval of the person's current relationship.
But when I look into your eyes
Recognition of a hidden aspect by looking into the eyes.
You see something I'm trying to hide
An attempt to conceal something from the observer.
Thoughts of you
Repetition of thoughts about the person.
Running through my mind
Continued preoccupation with the person in mind.
Open door but it doesn't feel right
An available opportunity that doesn't feel right.
You look at me as if you know what it's like
Being understood by the observer.
In the shadow of the streetlight
Imagery of being in the concealed area under a streetlight.
Thoughts of you
Repetition of persistent thoughts.
Running through my mind
Continued mental preoccupation.
Open door but it doesn't feel right
Reiteration of an available but uncomfortable opportunity.
You look at me as if you know what it's like
Repeated understanding from the observer.
In the shadow of the streetlight
Repetition of the concealed imagery.
Shadow, why's it a shame for me to love?
Pondering why it is considered a shame to love.
In the shadow of the streetlight
Repetition of being in the concealed area under a streetlight.
In the shadow of the streetlight
-In the shadow of the streetlight
-In the shadow of the streetlight
