Lyrics

Calling out for you

Expressing a desire for connection or attention from someone.

In my absence you can't, your wits about you

Encouraging the person to remain alert and attentive in the absence of the speaker.

And now you love

Acknowledgment of the existence of love.

And you lie

Contradiction between love and deceit or falsehood.

Inside of me

A representation of emotional turmoil or conflict within the speaker.

And I cry out a thousand times

Expressing repeated emotional distress upon encountering the person.

When I see you

The person being addressed is consistently present in the speaker's thoughts or perception.

You live inside of my heart and you'll stay

Emphasizing the enduring presence of the person in the speaker's emotional space.


When you know that it's done

Acknowledgment of the finality of a situation.

But you won't leave it alone, leave it alone

Reluctance or refusal to let go despite knowing the situation's conclusion.

Why won't you just say, "It's wrong"?

A plea for the person to acknowledge the wrongdoing.

But you won't leave it alone, leave it alone

Continued insistence on not letting go despite awareness of the issue.

Why won't you just say, "It's wrong"?

Reiteration of the plea for acknowledgment of the wrongdoing.


I was invited to the party

Describing an invitation to an event.

They won't let my people in

Encountering exclusion or discrimination against the speaker's group.

Well then never mind, never mind, never mind

Resignation or disregard for the event due to exclusion.

We don't wanna go to your function

Expressing a desire to maintain independence or autonomy.

I want it all for my own

Desire for possession or control over something.

It's me and everybody I know

Valuing personal connections over external events.

Well then never mind, never mind

Disregard for an event due to its conflict with personal values.


When you know that it's done

Reiteration of the acknowledgment of finality in a situation.

But you won't leave it alone, leave it alone

Continued refusal to let go despite knowing the conclusion.

Why won't you just say, "It's wrong"?

Repetition of the plea for acknowledgment of wrongdoing.

But you won't leave it alone, leave it alone

Continued insistence on not letting go despite awareness of the issue.

Why won't you just say, "It's wrong"?

Reiteration of the plea for acknowledgment of the wrongdoing.

But you won't leave it alone, leave it alone

Continued insistence on not letting go despite awareness of the issue.

Why won't you just say, "It's wrong"?

Final plea for acknowledgment of the wrongdoing.
